Another great feature of the JamMan
®
is its ability to play different loops
back to back during performance using the optional FS3X Footswitch. This
lets you play a verse > chorus > verse > bridge progression seamlessly using
three different loops.
To set up multiple loops for verse/chorus/verse/bridge playback, follow these
steps:
1. Record the verse loop and store it to memory location 1.
2. Record the chorus loop and store it to memory location 2.
3. Record the bridge loop and store it to memory location 3.
To use these three loops in a performance, follow these steps:
1. Select Loop 1 (verse loop) and press the REC/PLaY/OVERDUb footswitch.
Loop 1 will begin playing back.
2. To switch to Loop 2 (chorus loop), press the UP footswitch on the FS3X at
least two seconds before the end of Loop 1. Once Loop 2 is selected, the
DISPLaY will show a flashing 2, indicating Loop 2 is cued up to play once
Loop 1 finishes. Once Loop 2 begins playing, the DISPLaY will stop flashing.
3. To select Loop 1 again, press the DOWN footswitch on the FS3X.
4. After Loop 1 begins playing again, you can then select Loop 3 (bridge
loop) by pressing the UP footswitch twice. The DISPLaY will show a flashing
3.
Memory locations 1, 2, and 3 are used for this example, but any memory
locations can be used for multiple loop playback. (See page 22 for more
information about storing loops.)
Pressing either the UP or DOWN footswitch on the FS3X less than two seconds
before the end of a loop that is playing will not give the JamMan enough
time to cue up the next loop and the current loop will play one more time.
If any overdubs were recorded during this type of performance, they will be
lost when the next loop is selected and begins playing back. You can also use
the SELECT knob to change loops during playback.
