Electrix Repeater - Manual (Page 18)

B E LOVED PROPELLERHEADS
For those of you that are still reading this manual - and not busy making freak-a-delic loops that will earn you a
Grammy - we offer these thoroughly entertaining and highly technical discussions regarding the finer points of the
micro-technology blinking before you. This section was lovingly prepared for you by our really smart, and talented
engineering folks. The smirky text is courtesy of the marketing department. Please keep your arms and legs inside the
tram at all times. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited.
EMPTY LO O P S
Dial around with the loop encoder and find yourself an empty loop. An empty
loop location shows up on the display as a loop with the bar/beat division dis-
play as '
'. If browsing to this loop in User Sync mode without Tempo
Lock, the BPM display will also show the last known loop tempo. DonÕt worry
this tempo will not affect your initial recording in User Sync mode.
Initial Recording
The first recording/overdub on an empty loop defines the length of the
loop. During this initial recording the display will change to indicate the
estimated beats. Once the initial recording is completed, Repeater esti-
mates the tempo and calculates the loop length.
Setting the S y n cM o d e
Repeater defaults to User Sync mode on power up. If you wish to Record while syncing to MIDI or Beat
Detection, select the appropriate Sync mode before starting your Recording.
Setting L e v e l s before Recording
The Input Level knob on the front panel of Repeater controls the front and back input levels. To set the level,
plug in your instrument and tweak the Input Level knob until the LED flickers red just on the loudest notes.
The Signal LED beside the Input Level knob indicates the audio level.
¥ Green: Repeater hears audio somewhere in the range of -20dBu to +12dBu, optimum level is +4dBu.
¥ Orange: Optimal level, this is where you want to be.
¥ Red: The audio signal is causing saturation or clipping (some consider this bad), borderline on distortion.
The LINE/PHONO switch on the back panel sets the RCA inputs for either
phono or line input levels.
Track Selection
The default state of the unit is ready for recording. Press the Track Select
buttons to select the target track(s) for recording/overdubbing. Selected
tracks are indicated by the lit LEDs surrounding the Track Select buttons.
If one of the Pitch, Pan or Slip edit parameters are selected, the Track Select buttons LEDs will flash to indi-
cate the selected tracks for that particular operation. Make sure the track parameters are deselected before you
attempt to select a track for recording.
