Looper Mode
The Empress Effects Superdelay is able to sample and loop 13.6 seconds of
audio. Once an initial audio clip has been sampled it will loop continuously
and the user can add additional layers to the loop.
Sub-mode A – Normal Looper
In sub-mode A the looper operates normally using the controls which
are described in detail on the following page. You have 6.8 seconds of
loop time available.
Sub-mode B – Long Looper
In sub-mode B the looper time is doubled to approximately 13.6
seconds. The quality of the recording is degraded slightly to CD quality
samples in this sub-mode to allow for longer loop length.
Sub-mode C – Reverse Looper
In sub-mode C the initial loop is played back in reverse after it has been
recorded. Any overdubs made will play back forwards. We’ve added the
ability to switch from sub-mode B to sub-mode C while a loop is playing
back. This gives you the ability to overdub new passages in reverse. You
can record your loop in sub-mode B, switch to sub-mode C and the first
overdub recorded will be looped back in reverse.
Operating the Looper
When the looper is first turned on, it is in the zero state. In this state it will
pass the incoming signal without any effect.
While in Looper Mode the feedback and d time | ratio knobs do not control
anything.
The mix knob controls the level between the sound that is looping and the
sound that is played live.
