Effect List
29: SHORTLOOPER (Short Looper)
Loops the input sound at a short cycle.
The timing for playing back the looped sound can be automatically synchronized with the tempo of the wave played back. (Effect
synchronization (Phrase Sync) -> p. 116)
It is effective for accentuation of rhythm loops.
In addition, if you press the PAGE buttons, “Knob,” “Velo” and “Pedal” are displayed. You can then select the parameters to be
controlled with the EFFECTS CONTROL knob, the strength (velocity) used in hitting a playing surface, and the expression pedal.
Parameter Value Descriptions
LoopSw OFF, ON If this switch is turned ON while a sound is produced, the SPD-S plays back the sound looped
at the moment. If this switch is turned OFF, the loop is cancelled and the original sound is re-
produced. When you want to manually control the timing of playback of the looped sound, con-
trol this parameter with the EFFECTS CONTROL knob, etc.
LoopLength 0–127 Length of the loop
Tempo 20–260 Tempo
* You can also define the tempo by controlling the intervals at which you hit a pad or depress
a foot switch. (Tap Tempo: Ctrl SW in CONTROL SW in Setup Edit -> p. 79)
PhraseSync OFF, ON Phrase sync switch (Effect synchronization (Phrase Sync) -> p. 116)
