Phrase Sampler
GENERAL NOTES: (Phrase Sampler behavior that you should know about)
DUB: This button is ignored if the amp is set to half speed playback.
OVRDUBFBCK: The Overdub Feedback setting (found in the Aux menu) controls the level of decay (fade out) of the
previously recorded signal when overdubbing (10.0 = no decay). Overdubbing only records the bass
signals. MIDI patterns are stopped before overdubbing and cannot be restarted until overdubbing is
complete.
