Global Key parameter
Use the Global Key parameter to define if key
and scale information for harmony generation
and/or pitch correction should be global or pre-
set-specific.
Off setting
Key can be set per individual preset, via direct
key setting (C, D, F# etc ), Guitar IN via Natural-
Play, RoomSense or Aux.
On setting
When a key is chosen within a preset, that key
will remain even when you switch to another pre-
set.
Global Tempo parameter
Use the Global Tempo parameter to define if
tempo-based effects should follow a global tem-
po or a preset-specific setting.
Off setting
Tap tempo set within a preset changes from pre-
set to preset.
On setting
Wen you have set a tempo using tempo tap-
ping within a preset, that tempo will remain even
when you switch to another preset.
RoomSense LoCut parameter
Use the RoomSense LoCut parameter to “roll
off” undesirable frequencies from your mix.
In some circumstances, the low frequencies “in
the room” – such as bass or kick drum – can
cause the RoomSense microphones to become
muddy sounding. The built-in high-pass filter al-
lows you to reduce this kind of “rumble”.
Mic Boost parameter
If you are a quiet singer, you can use the Mic
Boost parameter to increase the microphone
gain.
Some artists sing more quietly than others, re-
quiring the Mic Gain knob to be turned up quite
far. To offset this, we have added a Mic Boost
feature which allows +6 (“Low”) or +12 (“High”)
dB of extra gain if you need it. The default value
is +6 dB (“Low”).
Loop page (6/8)
Input parameter
Use the Input parameter to set the input source(s)
for loop recording. The following settings are
available:
► Guitar
► Lead
► Aux
► Lead + Guitar
► Lead + Aux
► Guitar + Aux
► All: With the All setting, everything you hear
will also be recorded as part of the loop.
Undo parameter
Use the Undo parameter to switch the Loop
undo function on or off.
On setting
Undo is active and may be used to undo the last
change made to your loop. It is common to use
undo when you have added a loop section that
you are not happy with and want to try it again.
You can also press Undo a second time to redo
your last Undo action. This will bring a loop over-
dub back that you have removed using Undo.
In this mode, the total available loop time is 15
seconds.
Off setting
Disables undo, freeing some memory for addi-
tional looping.
