There are 2 loop recording actions on JTC Pro; Record and Play (RP), and Record and Overdub (RD).
High Quality Drum Sound - Smart Drum Fills
Right footswitch (RHYTHM) controls the drum and it adds a drum fill during the performance. Drum fills length is one measure (depends on 4/4 or 3/4 rhythms). When you hit the RHYTHM button, drum fill will start immediately and it will play until the end of the current bar. For example if you push the switch at 3rd beat -> drums fill length will be 2 beats only.

Mode
And, One Shot mode is very useful for playing any loaded backing track without looping. You can load any song to play along, the supported file type is 24-bit 44.1 kHz Stereo Wave (.wav)
You can download NUX Audio File Converter to change the audio file format and make it compatible for JTC Pro. (It doesnt process the audio signal, it changes the file ID and JTC Pro can recognize the file to play. Main file must be wav or mp3 format, please check the support page for converter guide)
Advanced Output Options and Frequency Optimization (FR ON/OFF)
JTC Pro has 2 outputs and there are several output modes; a stereo connection to two amplifiers, or you can activate the built-in speaker cabinet simulation for Right Output to send your guitar signal directly to a PA system (or any PA monitor).
JTC Pro’s drum sound is high quality real sound, when you connect to any guitar amplifier or PA system you will hear a full range and dynamic drums, still, if you are using a small practice amplifier there is an optional drum frequency optimization. It makes the drum sounds more clear and helps you to get a real looper experience with the smaller amplifiers.
You will find a guide about Output routing and Frequency Optimization on the support page.
