Orchid's looper is a powerful tool for building up ideas on the fly.
- Entering Loop Mode: Push or turn the Loop Dial.
- Setting Loop Length: Turn the Loop Dial to select a sync mode.
- BPM Mode: Choose a set length (1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bars) that syncs to the master BPM.
- Free Mode: Record a loop of any length, which stops when you tell it to.
- Recording: Press the Loop Dial to start. In BPM mode, you'll get a 1-bar count-in.
- Overdubbing: Once a loop is recorded and playing back, select Overdub from the menu to add a new layer of notes. When you are done overdubbing, select Stop. Repeat the process as many times as you'd like for additional layers.
- Undo/Clear: While playing back, you can select Undo to remove the layer you most recently recorded. If you undo all overdubs, the option changes to Clear, which will erase the base layer of your loop and return you back to a clean slate.
