12 Recording a guitar or vocal performance to create a loop phrase On the RC-20XL, the process of recording an additional performance while a recorded performance plays back is called overdubbing .

24 Playing back in various ways Using the pedal to switch phrases (Phrase Shift) While a phrase is playing, you can press a pedal switch connected to the PHRASE SHIFT jack to switch to the phrase track of the following number.
25 Playing back in various ways • When you switch to a phrase set to One-Shot Playback, the phrase is played to the end, and then playback stops. • If you use Phrase Shift during One-Shot Playback, the phrase is played to the end, then the unit switches to the next phrase.
26 Playing back in various ways Play back a phrase backward (Reverse Playback) Playing a recorded phrase from the end toward the beginning is called “reverse playback.” The result is similar to playing a tape in reverse. By pressing the REVERSE button, lighting its indicator, you can use reverse playback.

28 Saving or deleting a phrase About memory The memory of the RC-20XL is divided into two areas: phrase tracks 1–11 and temporary memory. fig.08-01 A phrase that you record or overdub is first stored in temporary memory. The phrase stored in temporary memory is temporary, and will be erased when the following operations occur.
29 Saving or deleting a phrase Saving a phrase When you have finished recording/overdubbing, or after you have edited the tempo or other settings of a phrase, you can save it. All phrases that have not been saved are lost when you turn off the power or select a different phrase track.
30 Saving or deleting a phrase <CAUTION> • Never turn off the RC-20XL’s power while the WRITE indicator or the EXIT indicator is lit. Doing so will cause all data saved in the phrase tracks to be lost.

33 About the tempo and time signature Setting the tempo If you are recording a performance from an instrument or microphone connected to the INST or MIC jacks, set the tempo before recording. You can change the tempo for playing back the stored phrase.
34 About the tempo and time signature Setting the time signature If you are recording a phrase with a time signature of other than 4/4, set the correct time signature before recording. * It is not possible to change the time signature after recording.
