Working with loops: Recording / Overdubbing / Undo & Redo
Overdubbing
When you’re happy with your loop, you can start overdubbing.
– To record another take (overdub), press the footswitch again
while the original loop is playing back. The LED will turn red,
indicating you’re in Record mode again.
– When you’re done, press the footswitch once more to quit
Record mode.
Ditto Looper will repeat the loop with both the original recording
and the overdub.
Please note that the length of the loop will never increase when
overdubbing. When you continue playing, you will simply create
additional overdubs. You can record as many overdubs as you like
– there is no limit.
Undo (deleting the last take)
– To undo (delete) the last take you recorded, simply press and
hold the footswitch for 1.5 seconds or longer.
The LED will blink twice in rapid succession, and the last take
will be deleted.
Redo (restoring a previously deleted take)
– If you have deleted the last take and you changed your mind,
you can restore that take. To do so, simply press and hold the
footswitch for 1.5 seconds or longer.
The LED will blink twice in rapid succession, and the previously
deleted take will be restored.
Working with loops
Recording your first loop
– To start recording, press the footswitch once.
The LED will light up in red, indicating Ditto Looper is in Re-
cord Mode.
– At the end of the loop (eg after eight bars), press the foot-
switch again.
The LED will turn green, and Ditto Looper will repeat the
loop continuously. The LED will blink every time Ditto Looper
reaches the starting point of the loop.
Your loop can be up to five minutes long!
Setting loop playback volume
– To change the playback volume of the loop you just recorded,
adjust the knob labelled “Loop Level”.
The Loop Level knob only controls loop playback level – it has
no influence on the signal from your instrument.
