One of the fundamental concepts under the echoplex user interface is that a function can be ended by starting another. This reduces the amount of button pushing required and gets you from one place to another much faster. When a function is running, you can see what other functions are immediately available because their LED will be green. The function that is running will have it's LED red. In some cases you have special functions that are only available when another function is going. We call these "cross-functions". Whenever such a thing is available, the LED under that button is orange. This is to indicate that it does something different in that situation. (For example, if you have mute on, you will see that the Insert LED is orange. Tapping Insert from in mute is the trigger and stuttering function instead of Insert.) This cross-function thing can seem confusing at first, but it is really necessary for keeping all of the functions contained in a realistically playable number of buttons. If everything had it's own button there would be way too many! Whenver we can, we make the cross-function button the one that seems most obvious and intuitive, based on how the normal function relates to the cross-function. For example, ending a record with the second tap of the Record button stops recording and immediately starts looping. So what happens if you have Multiply going and end it by tapping Record? It stops the multiply and immediately starts looping what you've got up to that point! (instead of rounding off to the end of the multiple cycle, as would normally happen with a second multiply press....). This is a fun cross-function and a simple way to get non-integer multiplies. Let the LED colors help and guide you. Green = normal function available Red = function is running Orange = special function available. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
