Recording a guitar or vocal performance to create a loop phrase
1.
Turn the PHRASE SELECT knob to
select an empty phrase track 1–11.
If there are any empty phrase tracks,
both the LOOP PHRASE and ONE
SHOT PHRASE indicators remain off.
If there are no empty phrase tracks, or
when the LOOP PHRASE and ONE SHOT
PHRASE indicators flash, indicating that
the memory is full, delete any unnecessary
phrases to free up some memory (p. 31).
2.
Press the MODE button to get the
INST & MIC indicator to light.
3.
While you produce sound on your
microphone or instrument, turn the
MIC knob or INST knob to adjust
the recording level.
Adjust the volume so that the PEAK
indicator lights occasionally.
4.
Set the tempo by pressing the TAP
TEMPO button or the right pedal
several times in time with the tempo
of the phrase you wish to record.
* For details on setting the tempo, refer to
“Setting the tempo” (p. 33).
* If you are recording a phrase of a time
signature other than 4/4, you must also set
the time signature (p. 34).
5.
If you want recording to begin the
moment you start playing, turn the
AUTO START button on (indicator lit).
6.
Press the left pedal to begin recording.
If Auto Start is on, recording will begin
the moment you start playing.
If you have specified the tempo,
recording will begin one measure after
you press the left pedal.
If you have not specified the tempo,
recording will begin the moment you
press the left pedal.
* If the internal memory is used up, recording
or overdubbing may stop before you are
finished. If this occurs, erase unnecessary
phrases (p. 31), and try the operation again.
7.
Press the left pedal to stop recording.
Simultaneously, the recorded phrase
will begin playing.
* Regardless of the timing at which you press
the left pedal, the length of the phrase will be
automatically adjusted in units of a
measure, so that the loop phrase can be
created correctly (Loop Quantize p. 32).
This means that a certain amount of time
may be required from when you press the left
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 (p. 37).
8.
If you wish to overdub onto the
phrase, press the left pedal.
Each time you press the left pedal, the playback
and overdubbing modes will alternate.
9.
When you are finished with
playback or overdubbing, press the
right pedal.
10.
Press the WRITE button, getting the
indicator to start flashing. To save
the data in the same phrase track,
press the WRITE button once again.
If you wish to save the data to a
different phrase track, press the WRITE
button (so its indicator is flashing), use
the PHRASE SELECT knob to select the
desired save destination, then press the
WRITE button once again.
* For details on saving, refer to “Saving a
phrase” (p. 29).
