XLINK PAIRING
DB4 Ch 1-4 EXTENDED LOOP FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN
PAIRED WITH A XONE:K2
From Version 2 firmware the DB4 can be “paired” with a
suitable device connected to the X-LINK port, offering
extended control features.
Currently the XONE:K2 MIDI control interface is the only
device that can be paired. To pair the XONE:K2, connect it
to the X-LINK port using the RJ45 lead shipped with the
device. Open the DB4 menu and select XLINK PAIRING.
The screen will show the ID number of any devices suitable
for pairing, and (in the case of the K2) scrolling through the
list will cause the connected devices to display a pattern
(see illustration right) to show which one is selected.
Multiple devices can be chained via X-LINK, but only one
can be paired at a time. A K2 that has been paired to the
DB4 will not transmit MIDI, but other non paired devices
in the chain will remain unaffected.
NOTE Pairing is only possible if the Xone:K2 is running
firmware version 2 or above. V2 firmware for the K2 can
be downloaded from our website: www.xone.co.uk/k2
LOOP START 1-4: Red lights blink to show start of loop.
SLIP-ROLL 1-4: Press for “Slip-Roll” mode: Slip Roll resamples
the loop each time the beat fraction is changed.
LOOP FRACTION 1-4: Changes the loop length in the same
way as the Loop Time encoder on the DB4. The Loop display will
change to show current loop length.
LOOP ON 1-4: Press encoder to turn the Loopers ON/OFF
Loop Fractions 1-4: Non latching buttons that divide the loops
by two. Each button is a division of the one above, and multiple
buttons can be pressed together to create smaller loop fractions.
LOOP FADER 1-4: Fades between the un-looped tracks and the
loops. This allows a loop to be stored and mixed back into the
un-looped track.
Alternative LOOP ON 1-4: Provides a total of 3 ways to turn
the looper ON/Off for ultimate flexibility. Button lights to show
loop is turned ON
