4.2.12. The Looper
The horizontal Looper Touch Strip (under the Pitchbend and Mod vertical touch strips)
enables you to alter the playback of a Project in real-time. It will generate longer or shorter
loops depending on where you touch the Looper Touch Strip and when you do it.
The Looper loops all tracks simultaneously. This includes CC# values that you may have
stored in the Control track.
Press 'Shift' + Touch Strip to disable/enable the Touch Strip.
4.2.12.1. Loop Length
The length of the loop is determined by where you place your finger on the Looper Touch
Strip, 1/4 being the longest loop and 1/32 being the shortest. Changing the placement of your
finger changes the size of the loop.
4.2.12.2. Loop Start Point
The start point of the loop depends on when you touch the Looper strip during playback. You
can jump to a different loop position by holding your finger on the strip and then pressing
one of the Step buttons. With the Looper, you can loop a range of steps in a sequence. The
length of the loop is determined by the indentation you press: 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 or 1/32.
♪: It may not seem such a big deal that the looper strip can be controlled using CC# values, but this
is worth exploring. By sending different CC# 9 values to the KeyStep Pro, you can 'scratch' a sequence
remotely from your DAW.
Can you change the rate of repeat of the Looper strip?
To a certain extent, yes. If you're in time division 1/16 and press 1/4, the sequencer will repeat
four steps. If you want to double this repeat range, set time division to a higher value i.e. 1/
32 and lower the tempo. The KeyStep Pro will now repeat 8 steps instead of 4 when you
press 1/4 on the strip.
