Owner’s Manual

Loopa

Congratulations on your purchase of the

Loopa®. Please take the time to read through

this manual to ensure you get the best from

your Loopa®.

Introduction

What is the Loopa

The Loopa® is the world’s first looper

microphone. It can be used just like a regular

microphone but also has the ability to record

what you are singing, play that back in a loop

and let you sing on top of it. This way you can

build up layers of sound to create unique and

interesting performances.

Your new Loopa® features a unique high-

integrity looper engine custom-designed by

sonuus. Built using the latest FLASH memory

technology for the most robust recording and

using 32-bit floating-point processing to

maximise the sonic quality of your recorded

loops.

Sound quality is further guaranteed by the

special “clip-free” architecture of the looper

engine: no matter how many times you

overdub your loop it will never clip and cause

unpleasant distortion.

A high-quality condenser microphone capsule

is combined with an acoustically-optimised

windscreen to ensure outstanding vocal

clarity and a powerful low-frequency

response.

The body of the Loopa® has been carefully

sculpted to ensure it balances correctly in your

hand, is easy to hold, and easy to operate the

controls. And it looks cool too!

Connections

XLR

On the end of the Loopa

® is a standard 3-pin

XLR microphone connector. Connect the

supplied microphone cable (or use any other

standard microphone cable) and connect the

other end of the cable to your speaker or other

audio equipment.

Some equipment designed to be used with

microphones can supply phantom power

(+48V) to the microphone. If your equipment

can supply phantom power make sure this is

turned off before connecting the Loopa®.

Power

Battery (AA)

The Loopa® is powered by a single AA battery

(alkaline or rechargeable). Simply open the

battery door and put in a battery observing

the correct polarity. If you connect it the wrong

way round it won’t cause any damage, but the

unit won’t operate until the battery is inserted

correctly.

When you insert the battery make sure you

put the ribbon under the battery to make it

easy to remove later.

Use the power switch on the control panel to

turn on the Loopa®. The will light.POWER LED

To prolong the life of the battery, remember to

turn off the power switch when you have

finished using the Loopa®.

Because of its low power consumption, the

unit will run for many hours (typically for more

than 10) on a single battery. When the battery

is close to needing to be replaced, the POWER

LED will flash. It is not necessary to replace the

battery immediately since the Loopa

® will

continue to function normally (typically for 1

hour). If you need the Loopa® to work reliably

for several hours (

e.g.,

a recording session, or

when playing live) the battery should be

replaced if the is flashing.POWER LED

Record your first loop

Using your Loopa® couldn’t be simpler.

After you have connected the Loopa® to a

speaker and turned it on, you can start using it

like any other regular microphone.

To record your first loop, quickly press and

release the RECORD button (don’t keep the

button pressed). As soon as you do this

everything you sing will be recorded. To show

that you are recording, the light ring will

illuminate in red.

To stop recording your loop and play it back,

quickly press the RECORD button again

(remember not to keep the button pressed).

The light ring will now change from red to

green to show the loop is being played.

The level (or volume) of the loop can be

adjusted using the thumbwheel control.

Moving this fully to the right (number 10 is

positioned at the top of the thumbwheel) will

give maximum playback level (the same

volume as it was recorded). Use this level

control to balance the level of the loop and

your live singing. Typically, this is set so the

loop level is slightly lower than the live level

(position 8 or 9).

Overdubbing

Recording a loop and singing over it is exciting,

but when you record another loop (or layer)

onto the first loop the fun really begins.

Recording onto an existing recording like this

is called overdubbing.

Overdubbing on the Loopa® works just like

recording: quickly press RECORD to start

overdubbing (the light ring will illuminate red

and the loop will continue to play at the same

time). To stop overdubbing press RECORD

again and the loop will continue playing; the

light ring will illuminate green.

You can start and stop overdubbing as often

as you like. For example, you can enable it

briefly to add a short accent sound, or you can

keep it active during your whole performance

to build up many layers.

Playing and stopping loops

The loop playback can be stopped at any time

by quickly pressing the PLAY/STOP button.

Similarly, quickly pressing PLAY/STOP will start

playback again. Each time you start playback,

the loop will play from the beginning.

Note that you can also start loop playback and

overdub at the same time by pressing RECORD

when the looper is stopped.

Erase loop (start again)

When you want to start a new performance

(or if you have made a mistake and want to

start again) it is easy to erase the existing loop.

Press and hold both RECORD PLAY and /STOP

buttons until the light ring blinks both red and

green to indicate the loop has been erased.

Loopa

Undo and redo

When you overdub many loops, the Loopa

doesn’t simply overwrite the loop each time.

Instead it keeps a copy of each recorded layer

which means you can remove layers to go

back to earlier recordings (undo), then restore

these layers to bring them back (redo).

This powerful feature allows you to create very

dynamic performances.

Undo is also useful to correct mistakes: if you

record something you don’t like, you can

quickly undo it before it gets replayed.

Note that the base loop (the very first loop you

recorded) is always preserved, so if you undo

as far as possible you will always get back to

this base loop.

Tips for using the Loopa

The most important thing to master when

looping is the timing of the first (or base) loop.

This first loop defines the timing for the rest of

your performance.

The low-latency design of the Loopa

® means

you don’t have to compensate for any timing

delays added by the microphone itself. All you

need to do is practice the timing of starting

and stopping the base loop recording.

As soon as you press the RECORD button the

Loopa® will start recording. Similarly, at the

end of recording when you press the RECORD

button, the loop length will be set and it will

immediately start to play from the beginning

of the loop.

As an example, if you want to record a 4-beat

loop “1, 2, 3, 4” where each number is on a

beat do the following:

• practice saying “1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4” so the

time between 4 and 1 matches the time

between the other beats.

• press RECORD at exactly the same time as

you start to say “1”.

• press record again at exactly the same

time you start to say the second “1”.

By saying the start of the second loop (the

second “1”) you help to set the correct timing.

This second “1” won’t be recorded, but your

timing will be perfect.

Further Information

Recommendations

Always turn off the power switch when you

are not actively using the Loopa

®. This will

prolong the life of the battery.

When storing your Loopa® for an extended

period, we recommend that you remove the

battery. Batteries can leak corrosive materials

which could damage your unit.

Do not expose the Loopa® to rain or moisture.

If this occurs, disconnect the battery and allow

the unit to dry out completely before using it

again.
