Presets

This preset sets up a playback sampler, with each of the 20 samples being a 1/4 note long. Of course, that can change to any number of samples at any length (in 1-beat increments, and within the limitations of the Looper algorithm). First, configure the preset below, then hit Record to sample in your 20-beat phrase. Expression Pedal Heel: PLY-START = 1.0 BEATS Expression Pedal Toe: PLY-START = 20.0 BEATS After recording, hit Stop (optional with the AUTOPLAY set). Change the PLY-LENGTH knob setting from 20.0 BEATS to 1.0 BEAT. That can be done manually, in H9 Control, with an Aux switch, or over MIDI. Resume Playback (if Stopped), or continue to AP:LOOP. Use the Expression Pedal to select any 1/4 note sample from 1-20 for looping. Change PLAYMODE to ONCE for one-shot phrase triggers. The image below shows sample #4 looping, due to the current PLY-START position.

In an "empty" loop, select a maximum delay time in MAX-LENGTH (2.00 seconds here). Delay times less than this maximum can be trimmed after initial recording with the PLY-START and PLY-LENGTH controls. Important: For the DECAY control to work correctly as delay feedback / regeneration, the Looper must be in Dub Mode (Record first to lock in the delay time, then switch to Dub). Expression Pedal Heel: PLAYSPEED = 25 Expression Pedal Toe: PLAYSPEED = 200 With Dub Mode cycling: * EXP PED shifts 2 OCT down, 1 OCT down, unison, and 1 OCT up & rate changes. * PLAY switch shifts repeats forward to reverse (from current PLAYSPEED). * DECAY fades out delays [0 = infinite feedback. 100 = single repeat.] With Play mode cycling (hit Record switch): * Current delay buffer contents are 'frozen' into infinite loop at current settings. * Dry signal can continue over the top of the infinite loop. * Hit Record switch again to revert back to the delay line configuration.

Alternating forward / reverse playback, in an infinite loop. Equivalent to one of Red Panda's Tensor configurations. H9 Looper dubbing can replace the loop audio, recorded in forward or reverse.

Standard infinite looper at 5.8 seconds maximum. Equivalent to one of Red Panda's Tensor configurations. Nothing special, no magic tricks. Garden-variety phrase looping.
