[. . . ] The caRD MeM LED will light when memories are selected on the optional external card. As loops are selected, the LooP or sINgLe LED will flash as the loop is loaded from internal or optional card memory. Trying to store, copy, or change the loop tempo during this time is ignored (bu will be displayed indicating the JamMan Stereo is busy loading a loop from memory). 22 Selecting a Loop Loop Down footswitch Loop Select knob Loop Up footswitch 23 Recording a Loop - Inst/Mic Input The JamMan® Stereo is designed to be very simple to use right out of the box. This section explains how to record a phrase and play it back as a continuous loop. You should have an instrument or audio device connected to the 1/4" inputs or a mic connected to the XLR mic input before proceeding. NOTE: The maximum loop time the JamMan Stereo can record or play is 10 minutes. Select an empty memory location using the LooP seLect knob or the LooP UP/LooP DoWN footswitches (the LooP and sINgLe LEDs will be off). (Optional) If you would like to perform to a guide track, you must set a tempo. The teMPo/stoP footswitch will now be flashing at the set tempo (see page 42). (Optional) Set the Time Signature to something other than 4/4, if desired (see page 40). Press the Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch and begin playing or singing to start recording. If a tempo has been set, there will be a single measure count-in indicated by the teMPo footswitch before recording begins. The Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch will then light solid red, the LOOP LED will light, and recording will start. If no tempo has been set, recording will begin instantly after the Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch is pressed and you begin playing. When you are ready to set the loop point for your phrase, press the Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch to set the loop point and have the phrase play back in a repeating loop. The Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch and PLaY status LEDs will light solid green. 4. 5. 6. Once you are finished recording, the stoRe button will be lit indicating the phrase must be stored to memory to be recalled later. 24 Recording a Loop - Inst/Mic Input 1 3 4 5 2 6 25 Auto Record Mode The JamMan® Stereo's Auto Record feature lets the JamMan automatically begin recording when you begin playing or when audio is detected at the JamMan Stereo's inputs. When enabled, Auto Record works globally on all empty loop memories; you cannot use Auto Record with an existing loop. When the Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch is pressed, the JamMan Stereo is armed for recording but won't start recording until you start playing (the RecoRD status and Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch LEDs flash red to show that the JamMan is armed). The JamMan monitors the input level and starts the recording when it detects an audio signal. If you've tapped in a tempo while Auto Record is enabled, the rhythm guide track will begin playing. Pressing the Rec/PLaY/oVeRDUb footswitch will arm the JamMan Stereo for recording. [. . . ] To initiate the card formatting procedure, press and hold the stoRe button for two seconds. Once completed, the DIsPLaY will read 1 and the card is now ready for recording. 55 Erase All Loops - Memory Card The Erase Loops procedure only erases JamMan Stereo loop data from a memory card. To erase all loops from an optional SD/SDHC memory card, follow these steps: 1. Install an optional SD/SDHC memory card in the JamMan Stereo's memory card slot on the rear panel. [. . . ]
