PRE-PROGRAMMING AND EDITING A LOOP

LOOP IN PRE-PROGRAM

To pre-program your “LOOP IN” point either play your song or search for the desired “LOOP IN” point using the search and jog wheels. When you get to the desired point press “LOOP IN”. If you wish to edit this point turn the jog wheel until you find the desired point. When you press play the CD will begin play from the new “LOOP IN” point. This also is the temporary new “CUE” point. If you then hit play to listen to the point and cue to go back you can continue to edit with the jog wheel.

LOOP OUT PRE-PROGRAM

To pre-program your “LOOP OUT” point play your song until you get to the desired “LOOP OUT” point and press “LOOP OUT”. To rapidly advance over a long distance you can use the search wheel with no center cue- jog. DO NOT USE THE TRACK BUTTONS**. If the CD player is presently in play mode, the song will return to the “LOOP IN” point and continue playing the LOOP.

If you wish to precisely set the “LOOP OUT” point while searching;

a. press “PAUSE” once only before you reach the desired point, if you are currently in play. b. turn the jog wheel until you find the desired point.

c. hit “LOOP OUT” .

REVIEW YOUR LOOP

To review, press “RELOOP” only and the CD will begin playing the LOOP from the “LOOP IN” point so you may listen to the entire LOOP. DO NOT

PRESS PLAY OR YOU WILL SET A NEW “CUE” AND “LOOP IN” POINT AND ERASE THE “LOOP OUT” POINT! If you wish to advance quickly through a long loop, use the search wheel only.

If you wish to edit this point again;

a. Press “LOOP OUT” to release the loop. b. Repeat the above steps.

To review your loop while the CD is already playing press “CUE”. This returns the CD to the “LOOP IN” point, then press play.

**Pressing the track buttons puts the CD player into an auto-cue mode. Multiple tracks are often found for single songs on remix service CDs. The track select mode automatically sets new cue points and would set a new “LOOP IN” point if set after the original “LOOP IN” point.

PLAYING YOUR LOOP

To return to the beginning of the song and play after you are happy with the loop:

1.Press “PAUSE” to stop the play action of the CD or “CUE” to return to the “LOOP IN” point.

2.Track backwards until you reach the beginning of the song. (Remix CD’s often contain multiple track numbers for the same song.)

3.Auto-cue to the beginning of the track will then occur. Once this occurs your cue button will return you to this point until you pass over the “LOOP IN” point. Then “LOOP IN” will be the new “CUE” point.

4.The “LOOP OUT” LED will be flashing indicating a preset loop is ahead and will be played when reached.

5.When the “LOOP IN” point is reached both “LOOP IN” and “LOOP OUT” LEDs should flash.

6.The LOOP should occur as preset by you until you release it with the “LOOP OUT” button.

7.Both “LOOP IN” and “LOOP OUT” LEDs should then go solid again indicating the possibility of RELOOP.

NOTE: If you should decide that you do not want to automatically play a preset loop after you start a song, just press “LOOP OUT” anytime before you actually reach the “LOOP OUT” point and the “LOOP OUT” LED will remain solid. (You can press it again before the “LOOP IN” point if you change you mind.) The “LOOP IN” LED will come on solid when this point is reached indicating the possibility of RELOOP. This will allow you to use the selection for reloop purposes. However, until you pass the “LOOP OUT” point the “RELOOP/STUTTER” button only acts as a STUTTER function as explained in STUTTERING FFFUN.

If you turned off your “LOOP OUT” while practicing your loop, remember to turn it on again before reaching the “LOOP IN” point.

ERASING YOUR LOOP

To erase presets loop either; a. Open and close the door.

b. Press the program button twice.

c. Select a track, a new “CUE” point, or new “LOOP IN” point beyond the “LOOP OUT” point.

d. Press “LOOP IN” prior to the old point to set a new loop.
