Automatically set Loop Length to 16 Beats?

Post by Octapad1 »

Hey folks,

Is there anyway to set the permanent default setting of loop lengths to 16 beats?

All my loops are always 16 beats, yet every time I tun on the unit, I need to go set all 4 backs to 16 beats loop length, before starting.

It would be cool if I can permanently change that, and assign 16 beats to all banks, forever?

Any tips?

Thanks

The banks' beat lengths (along with program memories, scale, key and range) are saved when you save "ALL" to an SD card. Saving "ALL" to slot "0" on a card that is inserted upon boot up will automatically load those settings, acting as default settings.

So, basically, turn it on and before recording anything at all, set all banks to "16" (and whatever other settings you want to save) and then save as "ALL" to "0".

I think I've told you that right...

Cool, thanks I will do that.....Good to know....thanks again.

By the way I set up the output from my vintage Korg WaveStation AD ( which has been sitting in the box since the late 90's after I retired it, in lieu of a Triton) to the input of the KPRO last night..

Wow, I forgot how rich and complex the sounds are on the WaveStation...I did some nice atmospheric loops, and actually was able to subdivide the 4/4 to 5 time.

I definitley saved that one to the SD card.

Loop on,
