Recording and Playing Back with the Sample Looper
E-67
(5) OVDB-ML:
Enables overdubbing of an existing sample from the
beginning. Only manual recording is available for this
mode. When using this Rec Mode, you need to select the
existing sample you want to overdub before you perform
step 1 of this procedure.
The Synthesizer will automatically enter the OVDB-ML
Rec Mode immediately after you record a sample (if the
sample has not been stored yet). If you want to re-record
new data in this case, select another Rec Mode other than
OVDB-ML.
• Specifying a length that exceeds the maximum
allowable recording time will cause “ ! ” to flash on the
display. If this happens, adjust length, sampling
channel, sampling rate, tempo, and other settings in
accordance with the channel/rate indication described
on page E-65.
• Performing the operation in step 3 while an exclamation
point ( ! ) is flashing on the display will cause the
message “LOOPER: Can’t REC” to appear, indicating
that recording cannot be started.
3.
Press the
bm
REC button so it starts flashing,
which indicates record standby.
4.
Depending on the Rec Mode you selected,
perform one of the procedures described below
to start recording.
■ NORM-AT
Play something on the keyboard, input sound
from the microphone or connected electronic
music instrument, or press
bm
REC to start
recording.
• The
bm
REC button will stop flashing and remain lit
when recording starts.
• While recording is in progress, you can get a rough idea
of how much available memory has been used up by
checking the memory usage indicator on the
Synthesizer display.
• If you specified a number of beats for the “Length”
setting, the
bm
REC button will start flashing after the
specified number of beats is recorded. This indicates
that recording is in overdubbing standby.
• If you specified “Free” for the “Length” setting, pressing
bm REC during recording to the end of the loop will
cause the
bm
REC button to start flashing. This
indicates that recording is in overdubbing standby.
• If the maximum allowable recording time is reached
during recording, recording will automatically switch to
overdubbing standby.
• As soon as recording enters overdubbing standby, the
Synthesizer starts looped playback of the sample as
recorded up to that point. During this playback you can
rehearse the next part you want to overdub, play a duet
with the loop, etc.
• If “Auto OVDB” is turned on, overdubbing will start
automatically without entering overdubbing standby.
■ NORM-ML
When you want to start recording, press
bm
REC.
• Once you start recording, procedures are the same as
those for NORM-AT.
