Dossier: Druk één keer op het voetpedaal om de opname te starten. Op het display wordt de opnamestatus weergegeven.
Afspelen/stoppen: After recording, press the footswitch once to stop recording and immediately start playback of your loop. During playback, press the footswitch once to stop the loop.
Overdubben: While a loop is playing, press the footswitch once to enter overdub mode. Any new audio played will be added to the existing loop. Press again to stop overdubbing and return to playback.
Ongedaan maken/Opnieuw: Press and hold the footswitch during playback to undo the last overdub. Press and hold again to redo it.
Clear Loop: Double-tap the footswitch quickly to stop playback and clear the current loop. Note: Be mindful of the double-tap timing to avoid accidental clearing during live performance.

4.2 Navigating Loops and Settings

The Ditto+ features a high-resolution color display and a large central knob for navigation and control. The two arrow buttons (< En >) allow you to scroll through different loop slots (up to 99) or menu options.

Selecting Loops: Use the arrow buttons to navigate between your 99 stored loop slots. The display will show the current loop number.
Het volume van de lus aanpassen: The large central knob controls the playback volume of the current loop. Turn it clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease.
Toegang tot menu's: Pressing the central knob typically accesses menu options. Use the arrow buttons to navigate menu items and the knob to select or adjust values.

4.3 Extended Looping Mode

The Ditto+ offers an "Extended Looping Mode" which allows you to record a short initial loop and then overdub a longer phrase that automatically extends the overall loop length. This is particularly useful for creating complex arrangements.

Activate Extended Loop Mode: To enable this mode, press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously. A menu will appear on the display. Navigate to the "Extended Loop Mode" option and select "ON".
Recording in Extended Mode:
- Record your initial, shorter loop as usual (press footswitch once to start, once to end).
- Immediately after the initial loop starts playing, press the footswitch once to enter overdub mode.
- Play your longer overdub. The pedal will use the original loop as a timing reference.
- To end the extended overdub, tap the footswitch vroeg, before the desired end point. The pedal will then close the loop at the end of the next full bar, based on the original loop's timing. This ensures a musically coherent loop extension.
Subsequent Overdubs: After the extended loop is established, subsequent overdubs will function as normal, adding layers to the new, longer loop.

Note: The extended loop feature typically allows for one primary extension. You cannot infinitely re-adjust the loop length multiple times using this method.

4.4 Import-/exportlussen

Connect the Ditto+ to your computer via USB. The pedal will appear as a mass storage device, allowing you to drag and drop audio files (WAV format recommended) to and from its internal memory. This enables you to back up your loops or load pre-recorded tracks.

Opslag: When not in use for extended periods, store the pedal in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
