Deep Mojo Vortex Knowledge

Here's something for all you loopologists out there.

(By the way, the Vortex loops in STEREO, short though those loops may be!
 Think on that and be dismayed!) ...

Here's an excerpt from the Vortex Manual Addendum:

Vortex...it's a looping sampler!

Deja Vu B is a looping effect.  In the present, the envelope is used to 
create an
overdub looper.  Here's how to create a loop sampler that can be 
controlled with
the A/B switch.

Save a copy of Deja Vu B in both the A and B locations of any register 
pair.
For this example, we will use Register 3A and 3B.  Select the preset Deja 
Vu B.
Push and hold the Store button.  Turn the Preset Knob until the display 
reads
03.  While still holding the store button, push the A/B button so the 
display 
LED is on A.  Now release the store button.

Since you are storing the same effect in both locations, you can simply 
push and
hold the Store button and push the A/B button to select B.  Deja Vu B is 
now
stored in both Register 3A and 3B.

In Register 3A, turn the Parameter knob to envelope and turn the value 
knob 
until the display shows 01.  Turn the parameter knob to morph and turn the 
value knob until the display shows 64.  Press store.

In register 3B, turn the Parameter knob to envelope and turn the value knob
until the display shows 01.  Turn the parameter knob to morph and turn the
value knob until the display shows 64.  Turn the parameter kob to feedback 
1
and turn the value knob until the display shows 01.  Turn the parameter 
knob
to echo fx lvl and turn the value knob until the display shows 01.  Press 
store.

You're all set to go!  Use the A/B switch (front panel or footswitch) to 
turn
the sampler's record function on and off.  When A is selected, the sampler
is recording - the input passes through to the output unchanged.  When B is
selected, the sampler plays an infinite loop of whatever was previously 
recorded.  The size of the loop is determined by the tap.  While the loop 
is
playing, the input is passed through the Vortex so you can play on top of
the loop.

Have fun!
