Things to keep in mind
•
All loops in a sequence will be the same
length. The size of the first loop you make
sets the size for all other loops in a
sequence.
•
The size of your first loop determines
how many additional loops can be made
— up to a maximum of 8.
•
Loops must be recorded in numerical
order.
Phrased Loops
Set Mode knob to any position in the
PHRASED LOOP section.

•
Once you've created a loop sequence,
loops can be selected (via SELECT,
footswitch, or MIDI Program Change
message) to play in any order.
•
When you start recording another loop,
you will no longer be hearing the previous
loop. Therefore, it helps to be playing
along with an audible time reference,
such as a foot tap, drum machine, se-
quencer, another player, a metronome,
etc.
Selecting Phrased Loop with the Mode
knob allows you to create loops exactly as
with Punch-In loops — two TAPs still define
the length and tempo of your loop. Once you
have created a loop, however, RESET,
MUTE and REPLACE functions, instead of
Loop
occurring immediately, will occur at the be-
ginning of the next loop boundary.
•
A second footswitch connected to control
SELECT and FUNCTION allows you to
cue the next loop for recording without
taking your hands off your instrument.
•
Expanding JamMan memory to 32 sec-
onds really opens up the creative possi-
bilities of multiple looping.
Selecting REPLACE, and pressing TAP,
automatically starts recording at the begin-
ning of the selected loop. You can turn off
REPLACE before the end of the loop by
pressing TAP a second time.
The LAYER function, as in Punch-In, is
activated immediately on TAP.
