Phrase Sampler - The Phrase Sampler will allow you to record up to a 6 second phrase,
overdub over the phrase, and then repeat them indefinitely. Operation of the Phrase Sampler is
accomplished by using the Preset Footswitches and the Expression Pedal. Markings next to the
Footswitches indicate the Phrase Sampler functions for each. When a Preset has been selected which
has the Phrase Sampler selected in the Delay module, rocking the expression pedal from the toe up
position to the toe down position will activate the Phrase Sampler functions. The Preset Footswitch
LEDs will flash indicating that you are in Phrase Sample Mode. Begin the recording by pressing the
Record (Preset 1) Footswitch. When you are finished recording the phrase, press the Stop (Preset 2)
Footswitch which will automatically set the start and stop points for the Phrase. Record can then be
pressed again to add layers on top of the previously recorded phrase. Pressing the Play (Preset 3)
Footswitch will start the Sample from the beginning. The Expression Pedal will control the number of
times that the phrase will repeat when assigned to delay regeneration. With the Expression Pedal in the
toe up position, the phrase will repeat once. With the Expression Pedal in the toe down position, the
phrase will repeat infinitely. In order to overdub one phrase on top of another, you must press the
Record (Preset 1) Footswitch again after one phrase has been sampled (there must be some delay
regeneration in order to overdub), and record the additional phrase. The Phrase can be stopped by
pressing the Stop (Preset 2) Footswitch. Pressing the Stop footswitch after the phrase is already
stopped, will erase the recorded phrase. Because the Phrase Sampler utilizes the Preset Footswitches
for control, these switches will not change Presets after the Phrase Sampler has been activated. In
order to exit the Phrase Sampler mode and select a new Preset, press the Bank Up or Bank Down
footswitch, and then select the new Preset with the Preset Footswitches.
