Effects, meanwhile, include time-stretching via tap tempo, reverse, fade, multiply, and the ability to divide length and speed for the whole loop.
Over eight hours of internal recording time is included, while additional storage is available via SD and a USB-A drive inputs, or connecting a computer through USB-B.
