Input – Determines the input source used for loop recording .
There are three settings:
1 . LEAD MIX – All voices and effects present via the Mic input are recorded to the loop .
2 . AUX – Sound coming in via the Aux input is recorded to the loop .
3 . LEAD MIX AND AUX – Both the Lead Mix and Aux input audio is recorded to the loop .
Undo – Toggles the loop Undo function .
There are two settings:
1. ON – Undo is active and may be used to undo the last change made to your loop. It is com-
mon to use Undo when you’ve added a loop section that you’re not happy with and want to
try it again . Loop time is 15 seconds .
2. OFF – Disables Undo, freeing some memory for additional looping. Loop record time is dou-
bled to 30 seconds.
Loop Feedback – Controls the amount of loop record feedback.
When recording a loop with multiple passes (or parts), the signal from the first loop pass is added to
the next, and so on. If all of these passes were put together at 100% volume, the loop you’re working
on would get louder, and louder, and LOUDER, until it was distorting the output of the device .
The purpose of the loop feedback control is to prevent this volume increase from happening. When
you record a new pass to the existing loop, it is recorded at 100% volume, but the existing loop is
blended with it at the Loop Feedback setting.
The calculation works like this: Input + (Loop x LoopFeedback) = Loop Output. i.e. Input + (Loop x
90%) = Output *Run away! Scary math!*
Most users find a setting of around 90% works well, but you may find a different setting that works
best for you.
When pressed, the VoiceLive Play enters the Effects menu, which is comprised of 7 pages and controls
the effects blocks.
