Looping
The iCDX has a seamless looping feature, which means that if you define a loop, there is no delay when
the music loops back to the beginning.
mixes, allowing you to extend desired sections of a song for as long as you want, or create remixes on the
fly!
There are three buttons used for looping:
IN: This is the point where you would like a loop to start. By default, a "loop in" point is automatically set
at the beginning of the song. To define a new "loop in" point, press the IN button when the song reaches
the desired point where you would like a loop to begin. The IN button will light, indicating a new "loop in"
point has been set. The RELOOP/STUTTER button will also illuminate indicating that you can now press it
to immediately go back to the "loop in" point and begin playing. If you wish to change the "loop in" point,
just press the IN button again.
OUT: Sets the end point of the loop. The first time you press OUT while a song is playing, the OUT button
will blink, and the song will begin playing in a seamless loop, starting from the "loop in" point and ending
at the "loop out" point.
forward when the song passes the previously set loop out point. The OUT button will then be continuously
lit, indicating that the loop is now in memory for re-looping purposes.
RELOOP / STUTTER: Repeats play or "stutters" (if repeatedly tapped) from the loop in point. If a loop
has previously been set, it plays and repeats that loop, until the loop is released by pressing the OUT
button.
SHIFT: Adjusts the loop length by half length or double length increments. Move the shift switch to the
right to increase loop length or to the left to shorten the loop.
Hint: The assignable 1-2-3 trigger buttons can be used as a second set of loop buttons. Read the
preceding chapter for more information on these multi-mode trigger buttons.
This looping feature allows you to be very creative with your
To release, or end the loop, press OUT a second time and play will continue
Press LOOP IN to set the beginning of the
loop, then press LOOP OUT to set the end
point of the loop. Once you press LOOP
out, the iCDX will loop between these two
points. If you press LOOP OUT again, the
iCDX will exit the loop and continue playing
normally.
The "loop in" point can also be
used as a way to "stutter" play
beginning from a certain point in
a song. Just press LOOP IN to
set the "stutter point", then press
RELOOP/STUTTER to begin play
from the stutter point. Each time
you press RELOOP/STUTTER the
iCDX will jump back to the stutter
point and play from that point.
