The Looper

VoiceLive 3 – Reference manual (2014-03-29) 86

– TAP: Tap TAP (HIT footswitch) rhythmically to

define a new tempo. While you are tapping a

tempo, the Preset Up and Preset Down foot-

switches will be lit in blue, indicating that you

can use them to fine-tune the tempo in BPM

steps.

– SOUND: Tap SOUND (Reverb footswitch) to

open a new sub-menu where you can choose

which sound the metronome should make.

When you have chosen a sound you like,

press BACK.

Metronome sound sub-menu

Metronome level

As you can adjust the audio output for the Main

Mix and Headphone Mix independently (see

“9. Mix knobs”), it’s your choice if the audience

hears the metronome or not.

Tempo and Metronome

As long as you haven’t recorded anything into

a Loop slot, you can freely define the tempo for

your loop using the TAP button.

Once you have recorded a Loop with the Metro-

nome ON, the tempo will be locked – meaning it

cannot be changed later. To change the tempo,

you would have to delete the Loop completely or

switch to another Loop slot.

If you record a Loop with the Metronome OFF,

you can still change the tempo later.

Sync sub-menu

Tap SYNC (the Double / Comp footswitch) to en-

ter the Sync sub-menu. In the Sync sub-menu,

you can define how VoiceLive3’s Looper should

sync to a given tempo.

The options in the Sync sub-menu are described

below.

SMART

Select SMART to use all features of VoiceLive3’s

LoopAssist™. LoopAssist™ chooses how and

when to trim and extend loops, based on what

you have already recorded.

Pressing the SWAP button will toggle between

Loop track B and Loop track C, making the

change when you reach the end of the current

loop. Loop tracks A and B or Loop tracks A and

C can play simultaneously.

SMART enforces a relationship between the pri-

mary Loop track (track A) and Loop tracks B and

C. In other words: Loop tracks B and C can exist

as a multiple (in bars) of Loop track A, but they

cannot be shorter.

See the QUANTIZE section below for a step-by-

step comparison between SMART and QUAN-

TIZE. It’s much easier to hear and see than to

read about!
