[. . . ] Press the STOP key when you've finished listening to the demo song. OK. . the next sections get a little "deeper", so hang in there and follow the steps closely. . . Set Loop Playback on a track, and work with the Wave and Scrub functions: 1. Press the Popup button to the left of the current Trk that is indicated in the lower right of the display, and from the dialog box, press to highlight Trk6. Press the OK button in the display to confirm that you want to view the waveform data for Track 6 (the lead guitar track). Press the "zoom" buttons in the bottom of the display, to increase or decrease the waveform view - horizontally and vertically. Slowly-rotate the DIAL to the right, to Scrub the audio data, until the vertical line (crosshair) reaches approximately 002. 01. 078 (watch the In: time in the upper-left of the display) - the IN time suggested is in the first dominant waveform representation of Track 6. 37 KORG D16 Guide Continue working with the Scrub function in Loop Playback mode: 1. Press the PLAY key, watch the waveform display, and listen: Track 6 plays from the IN point at normal speed for two seconds, then automatically stops (because the Scrub function is on). The audio data will play at normal speed, from two seconds before the registered IN point, and then playback will stop. Press to highlight the Out: 000. 000. 000 time in the display, and rotate the DIAL to scrub the audio, until the Out: time reaches approximately 003. 01. 087. The audio data will play from that point at normal speed, for two seconds, then stop. The audio data will play at normal speed, from two seconds before the OUT point and then stop. Press the OK button in the display, and note the registered IN and OUT time in the display. Press the Loop:Off button in the display, and the LOOP key will light. After you've listened to the loop, press the STOP key, then press the Loop:On button in the display to exit Loop Playback mode. Tip: By using the WAVE and SCRUB functions, you can be more precise in locating IN and OUT points to set for Loop Playback (and Loop Recording). You can register IN and OUT Points while the D16 is stopped or during playback, first by using the STORE and IN / OUT keys, and then by "fine-tuning" the loop points with the WAVE and SCRUB functions. Set IN and OUT points while the song plays back: 1. Press the SONG key, then locate to measure 001. 01. 000, by holding the STOP key and pressing the REW key once). Press the PLAY key, and listen to the song to get a feel for the rhythm. While the song plays, press the STORE key, followed by pressing the IN / LOC1 key, to store an IN point wherever you like. Continue to let the song play, and in that same "perfect tempo you were born with", press the STORE key, followed by pressing the OUT / LOC2 key, to store the OUT point wherever you like. Press the Loop:Off button in the display, and the LOOP key will light. Press the PLAY key and the registered IN and OUT time will loop repeatedly. Press the STOP key, then press the Loop:On button in the display to turn off Loop Playback. 38 KORG D16 Guide Note: You can re-set IN and OUT points as many times as you like, while the song plays back. You can set the IN and OUT points "on-the-fly", as above, and then be more precise in the Loop Wave mode. Note: Loop Recording is used in conjunction with the Auto Punch function. [. . . ] You can copy single or multiple tracks with this function, and input how many times you want the selected region to be copied. You could use this function when you want to copy a recorded drum or bass groove repeatedly ­ to create track data for the entire song. You can also copy to the "clipboard", allowing you to copy track data from one song to another. To perform Copy Track, you'll first need to set the IN, OUT and TO times to copy. . .
