4.5 The EDIT LOOP key

This function allows a specified number of bars within a sequence to

repeat in a loop while playing or overdubbing. This allows for quick

recording or editing of the looped section. Pressing EDIT LOOP displays

the followin

screen:

The screen fields and soft keys are:

• The NUMBER OF BARS field:

This field specifies the number of bars which will be looped when the edit

loop is created.

• The 1ST BAR field:

This field specifies the starting bar of the work loop. The current bar

number is automatically inserted here.

• SOFT KEY 1 - <Turn loop on>:

Pressing this soft key turns the edit loop on. It also causes the

PLAY/RECORD screen to be re-displayed and the EDIT LOOP light to

go on, indicating that an edit loop is active.

If EDIT LOOP is again pressed while an edit loop is active, the same screen

will appear, with two changes:

1. The first two fields are displayed, but all changes are locked out. 2. The

bottom line chan

es to:

If SOFT KEY 1, <Turn it Off>, is pressed at this time, the edit loop will

be turned off, returning the sequence to its normal operation. However, if

SOFT KEY 2, <Turn Off- ignore changes>, is pressed, the loop is turned

off, but all changes made while the loop was on are not used and the

sequence returns to its status before the loop was turned on. In either case,

the EDIT LOOP light is turned off and the PLAY/RECORD screen is

returned to.
