I've used mute, and discovered that my timing is ....ummm, >*syncopated* when I bring the loop back from mute. > >Grover > > When you are in mute, there are four different ways to come out of it: 1) unmute. press the mute button again, and the loop audio comes back on wherever it happens to be at that moment. It's as if it kept going but you had the sound off. 2) restart and continue. When it is muted, press Undo. the loop will start at the beginning and continue. 3) restart and play once. When it is in mute, press insert. The loop will start at it's beginning, play one time, and go back to mute. While it is playing you can press Insert again, which will restart the loop for retriggering and stuttering effects. 4) external trigger. From mute, press multiply. A trigger on the BeatSync jack will then start the loop, in the same retriggering/play-once fasion as 3). This trigger could come from a drum pad or a momentary foot pedal or whatever. The one you want is number 2. If this is the primary way you expect to be unmuting, we have the MuteMode parameter to make it more convenient for you. MuteMode basically lets you swap 1) and 2) above. This way, you only need to use the mute button to mute the loop and unmute it from the beginning, and you don't need to bother remembering what all the other cross-function buttons do. So if you change the MuteMode parameter to "start", using the mute button to unmute starts the loop it at the beginning and then continues. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
