Playing back a loop with Loop Control

Loop Control is included within the pattern or effect pattern. You can play back in a different way than the original loop, simply by selecting a pattern or effect pattern for which Loop Control is specified, and pressing the [ ] (PLAY) button.

*The contents (MIDI messages) of Loop Control are not transmitted from MIDI IN to an external MIDI device.

*If you use Loop Control while applying an effect, it will not be possible to use Effect Control.

*You cannot play back a pattern while using Loop Control.

1

Make sure that the loop you want to play is recorded in the

Audio Looper.

*If a loop has not been loaded into the Audio Looper, there will be no sound even if you press the [ ] (PLAY) button.

2

Select a pattern or effect pattern that uses Loop Control.

When you select a pattern or effect pattern for which Loop Control has been specified, Loop Control will automatically be turned on.

First, let’s try this out using a preset pattern.

Type		Preset pattern

	LEAD	BASS	RHYTHM


Pitch playback	P38	P58	P98

Trigger playback	P39	P59	P99

Divide times 16 playback	P40	P60	P00

3

As necessary, specify the tempo at which Loop Control will change (p. 57).

4

Press the [ ] (PLAY) button.

The loop will play back according to the Loop Control setting.

5

To stop playback, press the [ ] (STOP) button.

When loop control is turned on, the pattern and effect control settings will be ignored. This means that if you play back a pattern in which loop control is turned on, there will be no sound. Also, effect control cannot be used for an effect pattern in which loop control is turned on. If you want to use a pattern or effect control, you must turn loop control on.
