Looping and Speed Control
Loop a section and change tempo to practice, study, or build a remix.

Looping and speed control let you focus on one part of a song and shape its feel. On the Stem Player, both live behind the power button, which cycles through menus: one tap opens the loop menu, a second tap opens the speed menu, and a third returns to normal play.
Looping (Stem Player)
- 1
Open the loop menu
Tap the power button once. The stem pads now control looping instead of the mix.
- 2
Set the loop length
Hold a stem pad to set how much repeats — each pad maps to a length in bars. Hold two pads at once to add their lengths together.
- 3
Move the loop
Use the track buttons to nudge the looped section forward or back through the song.
- 4
Exit
Tap the power button again to move on, or tap the center LED to return to normal play.
Speed (Stem Player)
- 1
Open the speed menu
Tap the power button twice (loop menu first, then speed).
- 2
Ramp up or slow down
Tap a stem pad to nudge the tempo; hard-press for bigger steps. Speed ranges from half-speed up to 2×.
