A compact looper packing 32-bit processing and expandability into a small enclosure
A compact model in the LOOP STATION line, designed to raise sound quality, visibility, and expandability. The single-pedal enclosure holds up to 13 hours of stereo recording and 99 phrase memories.
Recording quality with 32-bit float
AD/DA conversion is 32-bit and internal processing is 32-bit float, keeping the sound faithful to the source even as overdubs stack up. It supports up to 13 hours of stereo recording, handling long phrases as well.
Status display on a backlit LCD
The backlight color indicates the record, playback, overdub, and stop states, so the looper status can be seen at a glance. Combined with the parameter knob, rhythm, drum kit, and system settings can also be adjusted while viewing the screen.
External control and MIDI sync
The pedal alone covers recording, playback, overdub, and undo/redo, and an external footswitch adds up to two more functions. It also supports continuous parameter control via an expression pedal and tempo sync with external gear through TRS MIDI in and out on stereo mini jacks.
Rhythms and phrase management
You can combine 57 preset rhythms with seven drum kits, and the reverse function adds variation to loops. Rhythm settings are saved together in the 99 phrase memories, and WAV loop material can be imported and exported over USB.
