Once a loop phrase is recorded, you can speed up or slow down the playback
of the phrase without changing its pitch. Once a phrase has had the tempo
changed, it must first be stored to memory before any overdubs can be
added. Storing a changed tempo is permanent and the original tempo
cannot be restored. To change a loop’s tempo, follow these steps:
1. Select a previously recorded Loop phrase (LOOP or SINgLE LED is lit)
using the SELECT knob. The TEMPO button will begin flashing at the
phrase’s stored tempo.
2. To change the phrase tempo, tap either the TEMPO button or the STOP/
TEMPO footswitch while the loop is stopped (or just the TEMPO button
while the loop is playing) at the rate you want playback to continue.
Tapping quicker than the stored tempo rate will speed up playback while
tapping slower than the stored tempo rate will slow down playback.
3. To return to the original tempo, press and hold the TEMPO button for two
seconds and the phrase will return to the original stored tempo.
4. The STORE button will light to indicate this change must be stored if it is to
be recalled later.
5. Press the STORE button twice to store the changes, if desired.
You can play along with the adjusted playback speed and still be in tune
since the pitch does not change based on playback speed. Overdubs can
only be added after the new tempo is stored to memory first.
Loops whose tempo has been sped up or slowed down take longer to
store than normal loops.
