Creating Loop Phrases by Recording Audio from a CD/Digital Audio Player
1.
Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to select an
empty phrase track (1-11).
The LOOP/ONE SHOT indicator remains off when a
phrase track is empty. If there are no empty phrase
tracks, or when the LOOP/ONE SHOT indicator flashes
to indicate that the memory is full, delete any unneces-
sary phrases to free up some memory (p. 33).
2.
Set the MODE knob to AUTO.
3.
While playing the desired audio from the
CD/digital audio player, adjust its volume so
the sound is not distorted.
If you wish to set the tempo before recording, press the
TAP TEMPO button several times in time with the tem-
po of the phrase you are going to record.
* For more details on setting the tempo, refer to “Setting the
Tempo” (p. 35).
* If you are recording a phrase with a time signature other
than 4/4, set the time signature now (p. 36).
4.
Cue up the CD/digital audio player to the
desired start location and pause playback.
This puts the CD/digital audio player into playback
standby mode.
5.
Press the pedal to put the RC-2 in recording
standby mode.
The REC/PLAY/DUB indicator flashes rapidly in red.
Pressing the pedal once while the unit is in recording
standby cancels recording.
6.
Start playback of the CD/digital audio player.
The RC-2 starts recording as soon as it receives audio input.
* Recording may stop before you are finished if the RC-2’s
memory runs out. If this occurs, delete any unnecessary
phrases (p. 33) and try the operation again.
7.
Press the pedal to stop recording.
Playback of the recorded phrase begins simultaneously.
* If the tempo has been set, Loop Quantize automatically
adjusts the phrase length to the nearest measure unit at the
time the pedal is pressed. (“Loop Quantize”; p. 34). Because
of this, a certain amount of time may be required from when
you press the pedal until recording stops.
* The minimum length of time required for a loop phrase is
approximately 1.5 seconds. If the phrase you’ve recorded is
shorter than that, the length of the phrase will be adjusted
automatically, and then recording will stop.
* The procedures described here use the RC-2’s AUTO mode
to begin recording automatically when audio input is
received. As an alternative, you can apply the principles
described in “Creating Loop Phrases by Recording Guitar or
Bass Performances” (p. 13) to recording a signal connected
to the AUX IN jack.
