Once they are both recorded you can go back and forth between them, stack additional parts, play, stop, play in reverse and generally freak out anyway that pleases you, but remember. . . when you record A you replace what was in A and B is deleted. While recording A, A/B concludes recording of A and immediately starts recording B, and loop `b' turns on. While recording B, A/B concludes recording of B and immediately starts playback of A, and loop `b' turns off. If both loops have been recorded, then A/B behaves like this. With loop A playing, A/B causes loop `b' to blink; at the end of loop A, a smooth transition to B will occur, and loop `b' turns on solidly. If loop B is playing, A/B causes loop `b' to blink; at the end of loop B, a smooth transition to A will occur, and loop `b' turns off. If no loop is playing, A/B chooses which loop to work with. A is selected if loop `b' is off; B is selected if loop `b' is on. This mode is the same as A/B with one exception. With loop A playing, A/B causes loop B to play once and then return to loop A. DIRECTION This button does just what you think. . . During playback, DIRECTION immediately causes reverse playback. DIRECTION can be pressed any number of times during playback causing a change of direction with each press. Try this with recorded speech; it'll crack you up!If DIRECTION is pressed so reverse is on before recording begins, a special continuousreverse mode will be entered where the Rang is continually recording new sounds while simultaneously playing the previously recorded sounds in reverse. This is the way to play a reverse lead live on stage. While jamming, press RECORD twice to define a phrase length. Both record and play will be brightly lit, along with reverse, to denote this unique mode. Turn off the through signal by pressing the THRU MUTE switch so that only the reversed signal is present and you can play a reverse solo live!It is usually best to define a relatively short loop for this purpose so you are playing just a little ahead of the accompaniment, so chord changes can be anticipated. But, as with all features of the Rang, there are no rules and experimentation is the name of the game. [. . . ] Version 2 - Page 11 · For lowest noise and distortion as well as maximum headroom select an input/output range which allows the TRIM control to be set closest to the center. Because clip indicates clipping only at the input to the A/D converter it is possible for clipping to occur in the pre-amp section and not be indicated by clip. It's also possible for clipping to occur in the output sections even though no clipping was indicated during recording. Both of these situations are generally the result of using signals which are too large for the selected range or extreme settings of the TRIM control. [. . . ]
