They are identified by blinking LED’s on the modifier buttons. Bank 1 is blue and bank two is red. You can identify the loop number you are on by counting the blinking lights on the modifier LED’s. For example, if a slot has blue LED’s and blinks four times, that is “slot four.” If a slot has red LED’s and blinks three times, that is “slot 11.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaving a Loop via MIDI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlooper is a “zero-based” MIDI pedal.

While in loop mode (center toggle position) you save a loop by sending a MIDI Program Change message while holding down the right stomp switch. For example, sending a Program Change message of “5” while holding down the right stomp switch will save your current loop to slot #6.
