CONFIGURATION #1 - Next Loop/Switch Immediately

 

[Use this function to Record to a new track and immediately switch to Next and Previous tracks]

 

Button 1

 

[To Stop the current track and start recording on the next (after recording and overdubbing as normal with the Rec/Dub button)

1.      Stop Now (I use this instead of your Play/Stop, because I like to record very long, non-metered free-improv loops, where I like to control when I stop the loop and start recording another on the next rack...otherwise I get stick waiting for a horrendously long loop to end its cycle!)

2.      Next Track

3.      Rec/Dub

4.      End Sequence

Button 2

 

[To Stop Track 2 and Switch to Track 1 Immediately]

1.      Stop Now (in place of Play/Stop, for reasons stated above)

2.      Prev Track

3.      Play Retrigger

Button 3

 

[To Stop Track 1 and Switch to Track 2 Immediately]

1.      Stop Now (in place of Play/Stop, for reasons stated above)

2.      Next Track

3.      Play Retrigger

4.      End Sequence


CONFIGURATION #2 - Next Loop/Switch After Cycle

[Use this function to record to a new track and then switch to Next and Previous tracks after their cycles complete]

 

Button 1

 

[To Stop the current track and start recording on the next (after recording and overdubbing as normal with the Rec/Dub button)

1.      Play/Stop (this sets up Loop 1 to stop at the end of the current cycle)  

2.      Next Track (move up to loop 2)

3.      Cue Track (this sets loop 2, which is currently empty, to start recording as soon as track 1 ends)

4.      End Sequence

Button 2

 

[To Stop Track 2 and Switch to Track 1 once Track 2 has finished its cycle]

1.      Stop Now (this ends recording and mutes the track as well)

2.      Prev Track (takes us back to loop 1)

3.      Play Retrigger (starts loop 1 from the beginning)

4.      End Sequence

Button 3

 

[To Stop Track 1 and Switch to Track once Track 1 has finished its cycle]

1.      Play/Stop

2.      Next Track

3.      Cue Track

4.      End Sequence


CONFIGURATION #3 - Overdub in Half-Speed 

 

[Use this button after you have already used the standard Rec/Dub function to record a loop on a track – once you start using button repeatedly your resulting loops will start playing back in double-speed]

 

1.      Rec/Dub

2.      Half Speed Tr

3.      End Sequence

 

CONFIGURATION #4 - Play loop only once 

 

[If you want a button to play a particular loop once (like the 'play once' function on the DL4), you can do this simply by having two functions on one button - play retrigger, which will start your loop from the beginning, and play/stop which will stop it when it gets to the end of the cycle.]

 

1.      Play Retrigger

2.      Play/Stop

3.      End Sequence
