Freestyle

Session

The shared musical frame every layer locks to.

Tempo, meter and loop length are locked while recorded audio exists. Clear the session to change them.

Tempo

BPM

Meter

Loop length

Any length from 1 to 16 bars

Count-in

One bar of clicks before the first take

Click level

Voice mode

Echo cancellation for recording without headphones. Off sounds more natural.

Timing correction

Mic latency

Calibrate plays eight clicks through the speaker and listens for them, measuring the real delay of this device. Unplug headphones, turn the volume up and stay quiet for 3 seconds.

Tap latency

Touchscreens report taps late. With the switch on, Freestyle learns your delay from drum-pad hits and subtracts it from every tap: pads, ● and ■.

Fine-tune ms

Manual offset added to recorded takes. Increase if loops land late against the click, decrease if early.

Tap ● to record, ■ to close the loop. Keys: 1–0 press a track’s action button (record / stop / mute / pads), Space play/stop, M metronome, Z undo, A S D F G H J K drum pads.
