Frequently Asked Questions
The looping and queueing functions allow for seamless transitions and looping within songs, but intricate arrangements might require careful setlist planning.
While it primarily functions as a standalone player, the MIDI output can be used to synchronize the P-1 with a DAW for recording purposes.
While WAV is explicitly mentioned, Idoru support has confirmed compatibility with common formats like AIFF, but reliability is best assured with WAV files.
