Using the Phrase Looper
The Phrase Looper can be used to record and play loop phrases. With this feature,
you can overdub to record multiple phrases on top of one another, or you can choose
loop playback to repeat the recorded phrases over and over. In addition to changing
the tempo after making a recording, the Phrase Looper on the reface CS lets you
control the sound using the sliders from other sections such as OSC, FILTER, and
EG.
