Using the FIX and CANCEL functions

Kaossilator EasyStart

If you make a mistake, you can use the FIX and CANCEL functions to go back and re-record. In order to undo (cancel) a layer, you first have to save a FIX point…

1.When you find a point you like, hold down the LOOP PLAY/REC button and turn the dial to "FIX," then release the button. It'll take a second or two to save your work so far.

Note: Get in the habit of doing this often, so you can always undo the last layer!

2.To return to the FIX point at any time, just hold down the LOOP PLAY/REC button and turn the dial to “Can.” Everything you’ve done since you FIXed the loop will be erased.

Quick Tips

1.While you're recording or overdubbing, you can tap the "SCALE" button to do transform-style edits to the entire loop.

2.While playing a melodic sound, try tapping the TAP/BPM button to rapidly change tempo... Cool things will happen on many of the sounds!

3.During loop playback, change the length of the loop on the fly to get stutter/roll effects.
