11	BASS LEVEL	1-10
12	ACCOMPANIMENT 1 LEVEL	1-10
13	ACCOMPANIMENT 2 LEVEL	1-10

* Note: To accomodate the extended frequency range of a 5 string bass, each loop may be adjusted 2-1/2 steps below the original key. For Example: Loop in key of E has a range of B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#. All onboard MIDI loops were developed utilizing the full range of a 4 string bass. Lowering the key below 2-1/2 steps may result in bass notes that are below the range of a 5 string bass.

Enharmonic Equivalents: Due to the B-DEC™ 30’s limited display capabilities, all keys are written without specific reference to major or minor, and all accidentals are represented with sharps only. For example, Bb is represented as A# although in common music theory, Bb would be the preferred choice.

Auxiliary/Phrase Mode

Use Aux /Phrase Mode to adjust the AUX IN jack settings (first menu).

Use Aux/Phrase Mode to adjust the front / rear input balance (menu 2).

Use Aux/Phrase Mode to adjust the Phrase Sampler settings (menus 3–7).
