O V E R D U BBING ADDITIONAL PARTS
Now that you've got your first loop down, you can continue to overdub onto the
existing track. If you want this new part to be quieter, try adjusting the Input Level
or the volume of your instrument to get the balance just right. Repeater has a default
feedback amount that reduces the level of the original recording as the overdub is
recorded onto it. This prevents undesirable gain increases throughout the recording
process. See RECORDING LOOPS for details.
RECORDING TO A NEW TRACK
Additionally, you may select a new track to record another part. Recording to a new track affords more control and
access to Repeater's track parameters, like Pitch and Level. Later you can bounce your tracks, after you've mixed them
to taste, down to one or two tracks.
LOOP MANIPULATION
Now that you've got your basic tracks down, there is so much more you can do.
Start by tweaking the pitch of the loop.
¥ Press the Pitch button, select the tracks youÕve recorded on and turn the
Tempo knob to pitch shift the tracks.
If you think that's cool, use the Slip function to slip a track out by an 1/8th note.
(You can slip through the entire range of the loop until you eventually get right back to the beginning. Yeah, baby!)
ADDING EXTERNAL FX
If you have an external FX unit connected to RepeaterÕs FX
Insert you can apply FX to the input and record the effects as
a part of the loop, or you can apply the FX to any number of
tracks during playback.
To set the FX Insert location:
¥ Press and hold FX Insert button
¥ Select the tracks that youÕd like the FX inserted on by
using the Track Select buttons. If you de-select all of the tracks, the FX will be applied to the input. (The
Input>Insert LED will light.)
USING THE METRONOME
Repeater has a great training feature that will help you to develop a consistent meter with some practice. Repeater
will produce a metronome sound at the current tempo when you press and hold the Tempo Lock button for 1 sec-
ond. While the metronome is playing Repeater will quantize the initial record to the beat of the metronome. To dis-
engage the metronome press and hold Tempo Lock for 1 second. You can set the metronome level by pressing
and holding Tempo Lock while tempo Lock is engaged. Use the Tempo knob to adjust the level while holding
down the Tempo Lock button. When the metronome is active in user sync mode, recordings will be quantized to
the beat as they are in MIDI or Beat Detect sync modes.
