Electrix Repeater - Manual (Page 23)

P L AY
In Play mode, Repeater plays back the contents of a recorded loop at the selected tempo, and the green LEDs of the
Play button are illuminated (seems obvious, but you never knowÉ). In addition, the Slip, Pan, and Pitch controls
are available and can be tweaked. If these controls are used, they will take over the nor-
mal play display.
Play mode can be entered in several ways. The conditions and meaning of these differ-
ent entry modes are discussed below. Oooh! Wait till you read thisÉ
From Stop
Pressing Play while the unit is in the stop state will instantly trigger the loop from
the start. If the current loop is an empty loop, the play button is inactive.
From Record
If the unit is in the record state and Play is pressed, the recording will be com-
pleted and playback will start if itÕs an initial record or continue if itÕs an overdub.
From Play
Pressing Play when the unit is in the play state/ Pressing Play when the unit is in
the play state has the effect of continuing the play operation but immediately
moving back to the start of the loop. (Get it?)
From a Cued Loop
Pressing Play when a new loop is being cued will engage the auto loop transition.
pressing play again will engage the new loop immediately.
R E C O R D
Recording mixes the audio from the input with selected tracks to produce a new track (or stereo pair of tracks). The
display shows the current bar and beat counting down and the Record button LEDs will light. Additionally, while
the undo function is available, the Erase/UNDO button is lit.
During recording, it is legal to operate the Slip, Pan and Pitch controls. (You may also dance, but only if legal in
your current location.)
The special case of recording is the 'Initial' recording, which is defined as recording to a track in a loop that currently
contains no data. In this special case, the loop length is set by the length of this initial recording.
Recording Limitations
Record is always immediately available, but may not be possible to com-
plete due to memory constraints. In the case that record is triggered when
memory is full, the word '
' will flash in the memory/play time win-
dow for 3 seconds. A Track Select button (or a stereo-linked pair of
Track Select buttons) will always be lit. This is the active track for
recording. By default/initially, Track 1 will be selected and so the Track 1
select button LEDs will be lit.

THE TRANSPORT
Memory Full Display
Playing with Loop
Triggering
Repeater's transport has some
unique features that make it
very playable in a performance
setting. Every time you press
Play the loop is restarted
from the beginning. This is
great for re-triggering or
changing up the feel of loops
on the fly. Additionally you
can press and hold
Stop
and momentarily trigger the
loop by pressing
Play . The
loop will only play for as long
as you hold down
Stop
and Play together. This is
great for stuttering FX and
sample hits and shots.
