Recording Loop Phrases
( SOUND LOOPER)
You can record a phrase you perform, and play it back repeatedly as a loop. You can also record additional
phrases layered onto the recording. When you’re using a microphone it may be diffi cult to hear the sound
that is actually being produced, but you can use this looping function to easily audition your output.
The recordable time is approximately 18 seconds.
You can’t change the tempo or time signature of the recorded phrase.
You can’t record the sound that is output from the OUTPUT B jacks. You’ll need to set things up so that
the sound you want to record is output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks (p. 4, 98).
Recording a Phrase

The LOOPER SETUP screen will appear.
If a phrase has already been recorded, recording will start when you press the [REC/PLAY] button.
(The LOOPER SETUP screen will not appear.) If you want to record a new phrase, erase the previously-
recorded phrase as described in “Erasing the Phrase” (p. 76).
Use the cursor buttons and the value dial to make metronome
settings for recording and to specify the length that you want to
record.
