Frequently Asked Questions
It creates loops with different lengths but a shared time base, resulting in syncopated rhythms – think 3:4 or 5:7 – and it’s surprisingly intuitive once you grasp the concept.
They're fully independent in terms of volume, pan, speed, and reverse, allowing for complex layering and manipulation. However, they share a common clock for the polyrhythmic mode functionality.
Currently, USB is primarily for firmware updates, but Walrus Audio has hinted at potential future functionality including loop export/import, so that's something to watch for.
