Using the product

1. To put the device into operation, connect the 9V 300mA connection of the

device to a suitable power supply unit (not supplied) that provides a DC

voltage of 9 V at at least 300 mA (centre negative: ). Connect the power

adapter to a properly connected electrical outlet.

2. Connect the desired instrument to the INPUT socket. Connect an amplier,

mixer or similar device to the OUTPUT socket.

The looper function

Recording: With the looper empty, press the LOOPER footswitch to start record-

ing. The LED above the foot switch lights up red.

Playback: In Recording / Dubbing / Stop mode, quickly press the LOOPER

footswitch twice to start playback. The LED above the foot switch lights up

blue.

Dubbing: In playback mode, press the LOOPER footswitch once to add a new

track layer. The LED above the foot switch lights up red.

Undo / Redo: If there are two or more track layers, press and hold the LOOPER

footswitch to delete the last recorded track layer. Press and hold the LOOPER

footswitch again to restore t he deleted track layer.

Stop: In Recording / Playback / Dubbing mode, press the LOOPER footswitch

twice to stop the looper. The LED above the foot switch ashes blue.

The drum function

Start/Stop: Press the DRUM / TAP footswitch to start or stop the drum machine.

The drum machine plays according to the settings you selected with the

STYLE and GROOVE switches. The LED above the foot switch ashes according

to the currently selected tempo and rhythm of the drum machine.

Tab: If there is no track set for the looper, press and hold the DRUM / TAP

footswitch for a few seconds to activate the TAP TEMPO mode. The LED above

the foot switch lights up purple. Press the DRUM / TAP footswitch three or

more times to set the desired tempo. The TAP TEMPO function quits after not

using it for 3 seconds.

Three operation modes

There are three dierent operating modes that you can select with the MODE

switch: NORMAL, SYNC and SYNC + COUNT.

Normal mode

In Normal mode, the drum machine and the looper function independently of

each other. Here are some operations you can perform in Normal mode:

A. You can either turn on the drum machine or the looper rst.

B. If you turn on the looper rst and then the drum machine, the drum machine

will automatically adjust to the tempo of the looper.

C. While playing, you can deactivate the drum machine or looper or call them up

at will.

When starting with Looper recording

I: Record something with the looper, then start playback.

II: Press the DRUM / TAP foot switch to play the drum machine. The tempo of the

drum machine corresponds to the tempo of the looper playback.

Notes:

1. If the looper recording consists of an odd number of bars, the drum machine

will not adjust this.

2. Sometimes the drum machine's tempo adjustment will choose double or half

the tempo of the looper. In this case, stop the drum machine and the looper

and turn the SPEED control to set the drum machine's tempo. When SPEED

is set to 11 o'clock, the drum machine tempo will be set to half the previous

tempo. When SPEED is set to 1 o'clock, the drum machine's tempo will be

set to twice the previous tempo. The corrected tempo is in the range of 40

bpm to 260 bpm. Switching on the drum machine and looper again enables

playback at the corrected tempo.

Danger of property damage by polarity reversal

Make sure that the polarity of the devices to be connected must be

the same as the polarity of the power supply outputs ( ).

To power a device with polarity-reversed voltage may damage it!

3. The drum machine cannot match the looper if the time signature of the drum

machine does not match that of the looper.

When starting with the drum machine

I: Turn the SPEED control or use the TAP TEMPO function to set the desired

tempo.

II: Press the DRUM / TAP footswitch to activate the drum machine.

III: Press the LOOPER footswitch to start recording.

Note: In this mode, the looper starts with a selected tempo and rhythm type based

on the tempo of the drum machine. The drum machine starts with the rst bar

after the looper starts recording. The looper calculates every single half bar to

match the recording.

A. Press the LOOPER footswitch to start playback. If the recording time is less

than half a bar, the looper will delete the last bar and then begin the loop.

B. Press the LOOPER footswitch to start playback if the recording is longer than

half a measure. The looper continues to record until the current measure n-

ishes, and then begins looping. These two rules also apply to SYNC and SYNC

+ COUNT modes.

SYNC mode

Sync mode is a mode that allows you to control both the drum machine and the

looper at the same time. By default, the pedal aims to correctly coordinate the

looper and drum machine. In sync mode, users can use just one footswitch to

control the drum machine and looper at the same time.

A. Press any footswitch to turn both drum machine and looper on or o at the

same time.

B. Press the DRUM / TAP footswitch to stop the drum machine and looper at the

same time instead of quickly pressing the looper footswitch twice.

C. The PLAY / DUBBING / UNDO / REDO / DELETE functions must still be operated

with the LOOPER foot switch.

Tip: This mode is able to activate the looper and the drum machine at the same

time (this is not possible in Normal mode).

Setting the synchronization

I: Turn the SPEED control or use the TAP TEMPO function for the desired tempo.

II: Press one of the foot switches to start the drum machine and looper at the

same time.

III: Press the LOOPER footswitch to perform looper operations.

IV: Press the DRUM / TAP footswitch to stop the drum machine and looper at the

same time.

SYNC+COUNT mode

In this mode, the count-in function is added to the previously described sync

mode. Before recording begins, a count-in bar is preceded based on the last drum

machine tempo set. So this is about the sync mode with count-in.

Notes for all three modes:

1. If you change the rhythm type of the drum machine while the looper is play-

ing, the drum machine will switch to the new rhythm type after the end of the

current bar.

2. If you change the time signature of the drum machine during playback, the

drum machine will no longer match the looper from the next bar.
