Playing back in various ways
Play back a phrase backward
(Reverse Playback)
Playing a recorded phrase from the end toward the beginning is called “reverse
playback.” The result is similar to playing a tape in reverse.
By pressing the REVERSE button, lighting its indicator, you can use reverse playback.
To return to normal playback, extinguish the indicator.
Since this can produce unexpected results, it may be useful as a gimmick during a live
performance.
* If you save a phrase with the REVERSE button turned on, the state of the button will also
be memorized. If you will always want a certain phrase to play back in reverse, you should
save it with the REVERSE button turned on. (“Saving a phrase” (p. 29))
* If you overdub onto a phrase that plays back in reverse, the sound you’ve overdubbed is
recorded as being for normal playback.
* When you switch to reverse playback while playback is in progress, the phrase begins to play
in the opposite direction, starting from the point in the loop that maintains the loop's
duration. This allows you to switch to reverse playback at any point in the phrase you like
without changing the duration of the loop.
Example: When you switch to reverse playback one measure from the start of the phrase,
reverse playback then starts one measure from the end of the phrase.
* You cannot switch to Reverse Playback under the following conditions.
While phrases are being switched (while the PLAY indicator is flashing)
While changing the tempo (while the LOOP PHRASE or ONE SHOT PHRASE
indicator is flashing)
You can also control reverse playback by using the pedal switch instead of
the REVERSE button.
Connect a pedal switch such as the FS-5U (sold separately) to the REVERSE jack
(p. 9).
* Pedal switches made by some other manufacturer may operate in the opposite way. Such
pedal switches cannot be used.
* If you are using the FS-5U, move the polarity switch toward the jack.
* The FS-5L cannot be used.
