Action
If rhythm is on, or if you recorded a phrase that is shorter than the minimum recording time
(approximately 1.5 seconds), the length of the phrase is adjusted automatically; this may mean
that recording does not end immediately when you press the right pedal.
If due to distortion or other causes there is a significant amount of noise, that noise may be
enough to trigger the beginning of recording. Reduce the noise, for example by lowering the
distortion level.
You cannot change the playback tempo in the following situations.
• If the phrase has not been saved.
• While phrases are being switched (PLAY indicator blinking rapidly).
• When you attempt to set the tempo for a phrase that is looped over an interval shorter
than the minimum recording time (approximately 1.5 seconds).
