When clicked again, sets the delay time to the interval between the two clicks, and imme-
diately begins playback of the signal recorded in that time.

Hold Rec

Same as 'Tap Rec', except the delay time is set by the length of time the button is held
down.

Tap Length & Hold Length

Similar to 'Tap Rec' and 'Hold Rec' except that the only effect is to change the delay time.

Freeze Loop

Similar in effect to setting the 'Input' control to zero (so no input signal is passed into the
loop) and setting the feedback to 100% (so the loop doesn't decay). In fact though the be-
haviour is different because the loop is completely locked down so e.g. the filter is not ap-
plied in the feedback loop.

While the loop is locked you can still change the pitch, and the filter is applied to the loop
output. The audio on the virtual tape remains unchanged however until the freeze is re-
leased.

Because in this mode the same bit of recorded audio is simply being replayed, you may
notice slight discontinuities if you record your loop with the LFOs in operation.

You will also experience slight anomalies if the delay time is set to more than half the
maximum (allocated) delay time (see also 'reverse' above).

Clear Loop

Wipes the virtual 'tape'. Because this can be a lengthy operation (especially when the max
delay time is large) you should not expect to press this button and immediately be able to
begin recording again. During the clear operation, the Clear Loop button remains lit, and
the output level meters show a decreasing level to indicate progress.

Misc

Fix Delay

Normally when you change the pitch the delay time is changed as well. E.g. if
you change the pitch an octave up, the delay time effectively halves. If you
turn on 'Fix Delay', the delay time is changed automatically as the pitch
changes, so the effective delay time remains the same as the pitch is altered.
