In Parallel mode, one or both loops play simultaneously, allowing
you to use the 22500 like a 2 track recorder or two independent
loopers. To follow these examples, please set LOOP Mode to
the settings shown at the start of each section.
• Loops play back simultaneously.
• Each loop may be independently
started or stopped.
• Loop B’s length is independent of
Loop A.
• Either Loop A or B may be recorded
first but default tempo is set by A.
RECORD LOOP A:
1. Press Loop A’s FSW to begin rec-
ording Loop A immediately.
2. Press Loop A’s FSW again to end
recording on Loop A and to set its
length. Loop A will now start playing
back. You could also end Loop A by
pressing Loop B’s FSW to immediate-
ly end Loop A and begin recording
Loop B.
3. While Loop A is playing, you could
overdub onto Loop A by pressing its
FSW, stop Loop A by double-tapping
its FSW, or just let it play.
RECORD LOOP B:
4. Whether Loop A is playing, over-
dubbing, recording or stopped, press
Loop B’s FSW to immediately begin
recording Loop B. If you press Loop
B’s FSW while Loop A is making its
initial recording, Loop A’s length is set
at the moment you press B’s FSW.
5. Press Loop B’s FSW to end rec-
ording and to set Loop B’s length.
Loop B will now start playing back.
6. At this point, you could overdub
onto Loop B by pressing its FSW, stop
Loop B by double-tapping its FSW, or
just let it play.
• Similar to Freeform mode with
Quantize off except Loop A and B’s
lengths are quantized to the nearest
bar. Loop A’s initial recording tempo
establishes the default tempo for
both loops.
RECORD LOOP A:
1. Ensure the RHYTHM button is lit.
Start the Rhythm loop by pressing the
STOP/TAP FSW.
2. Press Loop A’s FSW. Loop A begins
recording on beat 1 of the next bar.
3. Press Loop A’s FSW to end record-
ing. The 22500 will stop recording on
beat 1 of the following bar.
NOTE: Pressing Loop A’s FSW before
the Rhythm loop is playing puts Loop
A in Record-Ready mode. It waits for
you to start the Rhythm loop. Once
you start the Rhythm, Loop A begins
recording on beat 1 of the second bar.
RECORD LOOP B:
4. While Loop A is playing, overdub-
bing, recording or stopped, press
Loop B’s FSW to put B into Record-
Ready mode; Loop B’s REC LED
blinks. Loop B begins recording on
the next bar’s beat 1. If Loop A is
recording its initial loop when you
press B’s FSW, Loop A continues to
record until the current bar finishes
recording.
5. Press Loop B’s FSW to end record-
ing. Loop B continues recording until
the current bar finishes. Loop B then
begins playing back automatically.
