Recording Length Tips

Bottom track Bottom track

Play

Recording length: The length of each overdub track of LOOP 1 or 2 can be controlled as an integer multiple of the length of its own bottom track.

This is a useful technique for creative players. The loop length of LOOP will be based on the longest overdub recording. (If the recording time is not

an integer multiple, after you pressing the footswitch to end recording, the footswitch light will turn blue and flash slowly until the recording ends

automatically at an integer multiple.)
