From our Presets example, copy Group 1 to Group 2. For Presets 1 and 2 in Group 2, add an addi-
tional Snare hit and add some variations to your HiHat pattern.
To Loop Groups 1 and 2 and Presets 1 and 2 from each Group, we need to press the Set Loop
button and the Group Loop On/Off. Looking at the Groups column, this shows us which Groups are
currently part of our Group loop. By default, all of the Groups will be activated.
Your two Group loop should now be playing, cycling through all the Groups. The currently active
Group in the loop is red. For our loop, we only want to loop Groups 1 and 2, so deactivate the others.
That’s it. You just looped some Groups. Step away. Pour yourself a beer. Let the compositional and
improvisational possibilities sink in. Also, consult page 40 of the document for further details on
Looping.
QST 4: Review
• Loops are the way to create step sequences longer than 8 steps. You can loop either Presets
or Groups.
• To loop Presets, activate Set Loop and Preset Loop On/Off. Select which presets you wish to
loop in the Preset column
• Looping Groups operates on the same principles as looping Presets, but with two differences:
you activate Group looping with Group Loop On/Off and you must select which Presets in the
Group you wish to loop.
