Hi all,
When I use the magnetic looper touch mode and record audio. I can record long loops. However, when I use the on board sine synth, it seems my lips appear blank unless I keep the record time to less than about five seconds. Is this expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong?
Hey there and welcome to the Kinotone forum. This sounds like user error to me but I’ll give it a try at my desk tomorrow morning and let you know what I find.
Thanks for posting!
Lightning fast response JJ!!!
Thanks, as always.
Had something unexpected come up today. I’ll try and take a look at this tomorrow.
Hi there,
I wasn’t able to reproduce this. Magnetic Dance is recording long loops just fine for me, both with external audio and the built-in sine-wave synth.
A couple things to keep in mind with longer loops:
-
The buffer overwrites itself when full. If you record for 20 seconds, stay silent for the next 20 seconds, and then press Touch to play back, that silence will have replaced the original audio and the loop will sound empty.
-
Fade-in / Fade-out time scales with loop length. On a 20-second loop, roughly the first and last five seconds can end up being part of the fade in/out cycle, so you might not hear those sections as clearly.
Hope that helps!
Thanks so much. I’ll try in again and report back if there’s any issues. Cheers.G.
