I thought I would show you all a typical bank of my LP-1 presets. I currently have 6 full banks of twelve preset switches each and two expression pedals globally set to volume and feedback which can control either all tracks, a single track or groups of tracks depending on how i set it up. Eventually I may add a third expression pedal to control track speed or panning but for now I don't really need it. So below are my bank presets and some insight if needed, in to why or how I use them. Preset #1 sync record/overdub pretty self explanatory.... Preset #2 replace + track speed my go to preset when I want to seamlessly change track pitch when replacing (either up or down an octave) I also use this as standard replace in which I end the command not with a second press of this switch but with my preset #1 sync record/ overdub switch. preset #3 play stop now I use this more to arm a new track to be the same length as the original track and then I use the replace function to actually add new content. Again if you have recorded a first track and you go to a new track and press play stop, it will arm that track to the same length as the first track so when I do start to actually record on that track, its length is pre determined by the first loop. Does that make sense? preset #4 Quantize replace this is a sus style command achieved by doubling up to functions on one preset in this case quantize replace. In order to achieve a sus style command one needs to duplicate the function on a preset, so if you look at my first command its quantize replace followed by another quantize replace. I assume this can be achieved by duplicating other functions as well but I haven't delved that deeply yet in to those options. Preset #5 half speed I often times arm a track at half speed before beginning a new loop Preset #6 Replace/half speed/ reverse where did those weird violins from hell come from??? this preset Preset #7 All tracks this is the command I hit before ending a song with a feedback reduction fade or a stop, I probably could just use the front panel command but I like to keep my hands free for playing. Preset #8 Set as Master I keep this handy because I sometimes like to start with a long rubato melody before moving to shorter rhythm based tracks. I'll record a long loop, move to a new track and hit the set as master button. This is also cool to use for me because i have different quantize values set for different tracks so if I want to use a quantize value of 9 (to create a 9/8 beat) I start recording on track three where I've placed that beat division. Preset #9 Multiply in my case double, no explanation needed?? Preset #10 Erase/feedback 100% whenever I erase a track or all tracks I want to make sure that everything is back to 100% feedback, as I'm constantly changing the feedback in real time with the pedal and I don't want a new track fading away accidently because the last time I was on the track I had changed the feedback Preset #11 track next preset #12 previous track. I have other banks set up to achieve more complex ABC song forms , which I can describe when I get my LP-1 in front of me because the scripts are pretty long. one bank for some of the mellotron style pitch shifting, one bank dedicated to bounce functions, one bank the has multiple press functions like quantize replace/track speed/reverse In which I have to double up all three of those commands to get a sus style pedal action. example that preset would look something like this: quantize replace- half speed-reverse-quantize replace-half speed- reverse Other functions I use in no particular order on other banks are: sync bounce, copy, except track, q replace+ track speed, 1/4 speed, and midi sync record overdub, if I'm tracking to an external clock, and fast scramble. I haven't done much experimenting in a while to discover new strategies but I think there is still a lot of undiscovered territory left to explore. Bill
