How does TimeLine MX’s 1 Button Looper work?

The onboard TAP footswitch can be set as a simple “1 Button” interface for the looper. With this setting, a looper is always available for quick and simple looper needs with the press of the TAP switch. The A and B footswitches can still be used to navigate presets and banks.

  1. Engaging 1 Button Looper Mode– Press and hold the TYPE encoder for three seconds to enter the GLOBAL menu, select TAP FOOTSW, and choose LOOPER to set the TAP footswitch to control the 1 Button Looper.
  2.  Recording a Loop– To record, press the TAP switch once. The switch’s LED lights solid RED and the flashing Recording icon appears on the Home screen.
  3. Playing a Loop– When actively recording or overdubbing, or when the looper is stopped with a loop in memory, press TAP once. Its LED lights solid GREEN, the screen’s animated Play icon shows the loop progress. To stop playback, press TAP twice quickly.
  4. Overdubbing a Loop– Overdubbing can be started while playing a recorded loop. While the loop is playing, press TAP once. The TAP LED lights solid AMBER and the flashing Overdub icon appears on the Home screen. This keeps recording another layer on top of the initial recorded loop until either Stop (press TAP twice rapidly) or Play (press TAP once) is engaged.
  5. Stopping a Loop– When actively recording, playing, or overdubbing, press TAP twice rapidly to stop. The TAP LED turns off and the Stop icon appears on the screen. To start playback, press TAP once.
  6. Clearing a Loop– Once a loop has been recorded, from any Looper state, press and hold TAP for approximately 3 seconds to permanently delete the loop from memory. While holding TAP, wait for the Clear icon to flash twice. Once cleared, the No Loop icon will appear. A new loop can then be recorded when desired.

 

The 1 Button Looper can also be used in the same way as described below with a Strymon MiniSwitch when your GLOBAL > EXP MODE setting is set to 1BTNLOOOP. When using MiniSwitch in this way, you may want to set the GLOBAL > TAP FOOTSW to TAP, to allow TimeLine MX’s onboard TAP footswitch to operate as a tap tempo switch.
