Loop4 features vol.3

[SoundFNR@aol.com]

The New InterfaceModes.

Some of these are a bit complex/bizarre,
stay in LoopMode till you know your way around.

Loop3 had LOP, Del and Out
available for the  Loop/Delay parameter

Loop4 adds In, EHP, rPL , FLI  & Stu

of these In, rPL and FLI are only available if you attach a
pedal to the EDP

Unless otherwise noted, these are based on LOP (loop mode)
from LOOP3 

In
Input mode
pedal controls Input vol to the loop all the time, 
If you have 2 midi control pedals you can now
have pedal control of Input Vol, Feedback and Output Vol
for the loop. 

EHP, 
Expert Mode
without pedal feedback is 100% while loop is playing.
During Overdub + Mult feedback is from the front panel knob.

when a pedal is used it controls feedback during play,
(But if playing back as triggered samples, the pedal 
controls the output volume, a feature that no-one on the team
will admit to inventing).

Expert Mode is meant to emulate a Boomerang to
some extent.


Stu
StutterMode
Changes the way Insert works, so it becomes
a "SingleCycleMultiply".
Works best with a Loop which is made up of a number
of short cycles (use Multiply).
Hit Insert and the next cycle in the loop starts to repeat.
Then you can either hit Undo, and go back to the original loop
(which will still be in time as if nothing had happenned)
OR hit Insert again to insert the "Stutters" into the loop.

If you have a single cycle loop running, you can enjoy 
this Mode by using Insert followed by Record to copy small
chunks of the loop. 
Or use Insertmode =SUS (a trick discovered by Andre LaFosse)
A bit like time stretching the loop.



rPL
ReplaceMode
The pedal controls Feedback and Output volume
simultaneously.
As if the feedback was taken from after the Output volume
fader rather than before.
This allows you to hear straight away how the feedback 
changes you make affect the loop, so good for 'mixing'
the loop as you overdub, and also nice for "sculpting"
the loop 
(pedal tremolos etc.)
In order to hear a sinfgle repeat in this mode, you 
have to use Substitute.  


FLI
Flip Mode

Pedal controls Input volume, and feedback simultaneously.
But control of feedback is reversed, so you crossfade between the 
loop and new material.
Good for pulsing organic loops.
Has to be heard.
 <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/andybmp3//vrtdemo.mp3">demo</A>  

during Overdub, feedback comes from the front panel
knob, and pedal still controls input.
...so you get a normal delay type looper to play with as well.

Insert works as for Stutter Mode.
