To toggle between presets: hold down buttons 1 and 2, then press button 3. (This action is mirrored for the opposite deck.)
Note: Preset settings are also autosaved between power cycles.

Time Functions

There are three seperate functions for the Time pot: Clock Divisions, Dub Level and User Definable Parameter. You can toggle through these functions by holding down button 1 and pressing button 2 for the left deck, this action is mirrored for the opposite deck.
Note: CLK triggers indicated in white. The current time function is indicated by the Amber LED next to the ‘CLK OUT’ jack.
Amber LED Off

Time pot sets the number of clock divisions per loop. These are displayed by the white ‘CLK OUT’ LED.
Amber LED Solid Lit

Sets the rate at which old recordings fade out. Akin to feedback in a delay
Amber LED Pulsing

Controls parameter amount. – Crossfade Duration – Tape Emulation Amount – Speed Slew

Monitoring Options

There are three options for input monitoring: Monitoring On, Armed Monitoring and Monitoring Off. You can toggle through these options by holding down buttons 1 and 2, then pressing button 3 for the left deck, this action is mirrored for the opposite deck.
Monitoring On – Record Button Solid White
Monitoring Off – Record Button Off
Monitoring On – When monitoring is on, throughput audio is always present of the output and summed with any recorded loops. (DEFAULT). Armed Monitoring – When armed monitoring is selected, throughput audio is muted by default, pressing the record button ‘arms’ the deck and throughput audio is toggled on, pressing record again records a loop, pressing record to finish the recording disables throughput audio and only the recorded audio is heard. When armed the erase button will disarm the deck without erasing the loop.
Monitoring Off – When monitoring is off only the recorded material appears at the output.

Looping or One-Shot Modes

Toggle between looping/one-shot modes by holding button 1 and pressing button 2 for the left deck, this action is mirrored for the opposite deck. Looping or One-Shot Record In one shot-record, recording starts from current playback position, records one full loop (set by start position and length) and stops recording automatically. (Looping by DEFAULT).
Note: Idle record button is lit mixed amber/ white when monitoring is on, pulsing mixed when armed monitoring is on and remains off when monitoring is off.

Looping or One-Shot Playback

When looping is disabled (i.e. one-shot mode) playback stops after each loop. Retrigger will prompt the recording to play once. (Looping by DEFAULT)
Note: The record button will blink white when loop playback is selected and blink mixed when one-shot playback is selected.

Save and Load

Auxiliary Input & Output Crossfaders

Auxiliary Audio Input
In addition to the left and right input/output sections, the Lobadh also has auxiliary input and output crossfaders which allow additional audio to be sent to the input sections or monitored from the outputs. Voltage control allows for modulation up to audio rate.

Auxiliary Audio Output

Capacitive Touch & Pre/ Post Switches

Capacitive Touch Switch
The switch on the lower side of the rea PCB toggles the capacitive touch on /off.

Pre/ Post Output Level Pre/Post switches on the rear of the pcb are used to toggle the output fader to being either pre or post output level.

CV Expander

Included with the Lobadh is a CV expander, which is connected to the module via a ribbon cable. The expander allows for additional CV control over all remaining parameters.
Note: All CV inputs are bipolar (5Vpp).
