[. . . ] The DIsPLaY will show the memory location number as these buttons are pressed. When Loop 99 is reached, pressing the LooP UP footswitch will return to the first memory location (1 will be shown in the display). Likewise, if Loop 1 is reached, pressing the LooP DoWN footswitch will return to the last memory location (99 will be shown in the DIsPLaY). If an optional memory card is installed, pressing the LooP UP or LooP DoWN footswitches will alternate through one bank of memories and then the next (1-99 internal and then 1-99 card). 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. [. . . ] The first time a memory card is inserted into the JamMan Stereo, it is recommended that you format the card using the JamMan Stereo's format procedure (see page 55). To install an optional SD/SDHC memory card into the JamMan Stereo, insert the card into the Memory Card slot on the back panel with the label face up and the angled part of the card pointing toward the chassis. 54 Using Optional SD/SDHC Memory Cards Formatting SD Cards A memory card that is inserted into the JamMan® Stereo for the first time should be formatted using the JamMan Stereo's format procedure. To format an SD/SDHC Card in the JamMan Stereo, follow these steps: 1. Enable the sHIft button and then press and hold the DeLete button for four seconds. [. . . ]
