Metronome – On setting
When set to on, the metronome is audible. This will also acti-
vate the quantize feature, which will correct your record and
loop button presses to the nearest beat.
Metronome – Shh setting
When set to the Shh, the metronome is not audible, but the
quantize feature is activated.
This setting is useful if you are on stage and you don’t want the
audience to hear the metronome. Note that you can still see
the current tempo indicated by the LED of the Tap button. Also,
if you are synced to a computer playback, you likely won’t need
to hear the metronome.
Other metronome-related parameters
Please see the “Loop page” section in the Setup menu chapter
to learn about other features such as adjusting the metronome’s
volume and sound, sending the metronome to headphones
only or synching it to MIDI Clock.
Recording a loop using
the metronome
– Press the Loop mode button once or twice to show the
Loop Tools page.
– Tap the Met:Off button once to unmute the metronome. It
will display Met:On, and you should hear the default metro-
nome sound (Kick drum).
– Set the tempo by tapping the Tap button rhythmically a few
times.
– Tap the Record button near a metronome beat to start
recording your loop.
– Sing a short rhythmic phrase in time with the metronome
beat.
– Tap the Record button near a metronome beat to set the
loop point. This will switch from recording to playback.
If the loop is satisfactory, this can become your base loop to
overdub upon or to add more loop layers to.
– Tap the Met button once to set it to Shh or twice to set it
to Off. This will switch off the metronome sound and allow
you to add overdubs and layers with your original recording
as a beat reference.
