LOOPING OPERATIONS

LOOPING

A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat with no breaks. On the AXIS 8 two seamless loops are possible.

LOOP IN

The “LOOP IN” point is where you wish for the loop to start. The initial “CUE” point of the CD is also the default “LOOP IN” point for both loops or “Hot Start” point. If

you wish to set a new “LOOP IN” point, just press while the CD is playing

when it reaches the desired point. The button will light indicating a new loop is

set. The button and in the display will also illuminate indicating a point has been set and is accessible for “STUTTER”. By default the “LOOP IN” also becomes the “STUTTER” or “HOT START” point.

NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set point as the “LOOP IN” or “HOT START” point until you actually set a new “LOOP IN” point or put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If

you change tracks and you previously set a “Loop In” on another track, pressing will jump to that point.

LOOP OUT

The “LOOP OUT” determines the end point for a loop. The first time you press while a CD is in play mode, the “LOOP OUT” LED will turn on and flash while the song automatically returns to the “LOOP IN” point with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the “LOOP OUT” point again it returns to the “LOOP IN” point and continues to repeat this action. You will notice the “LOOP IN” LED will also be flashing

during loop action. To release or end the LOOP press a second time and play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set “LOOP OUT” point. The “LOOP OUT” LED will be lit solid indicating that the “LOOP” is now in memory for “RELOOP” purposes.

Note: The “LOOP OUT” point will be erased if “LOOP IN” is pressed or a new “CUE” point is set after the “LOOP OUT” point.

This is important because without this point “RELOOP” will not be possible.

SMART LOOPING

The Beatkeeper and Looping can work together to set perfect loops every time. In order to work correctly first properly align the Beatkeeper™ on the

beat. To active smart looping hold down followed by at the same time. After this has been done all loop points and stuttering will play perfectly to the beat of the music.
