key 5.
The step keys selected for chain play will light from 1 through

LED 1 is lit.
While chain play is playing, you can hold down the Shift key
and press the Play/Stop key to play back from the beginning
of the currently-playing pattern.
To stop chain play, you can either select a different pattern set,
or defeat the pattern select Hold function.
Assigning a pattern to a Pattern Set
1. With playback stopped, press and hold the Pattern Set key
and press the step key for the location that you wish to as-
sign a pattern.
2. While continuing to press the Pattern Set key (or while Hold
is still in effect), rotate the dial to select the pattern number
that you wish to assign. Release the Pattern Set key (or de-
feat Hold) to complete the assignment process.
3. To save the pattern set assignments, press the Stop/Cancel
key to stop playback. Continue pressing the Pattern Set key,
and press the Write key (the Write key will blink).
4. The display will blink "PSt." Press the Write key once again
to save the data.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
If the Global mode Memory Protect setting is on, it will
not be possible to write the data. In this case, turn off
the Global mode Memory Protect setting before you ex-
ecute the Write operation.
Never turn the power off during the Write operation. This
may damage the data.
Saving a pattern (WRITE)
If you wish to keep the pattern data that you create, you must
perform this Write operation. When you perform the Write
operation, "Data Copy within a pattern" (p.37) will occur au-
tomatically, depending on the pattern length.
If you intentionally want to discard your edits and revert to
the original pattern data, simply select a different pattern with-
out Writing.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Press the Write key once (the key will blink). The pattern
number will blink in the display.
3. Rotate the dial to select the writing destination pattern num-
ber.
4. Press the Write key once again to write the data.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
If the Global mode Memory Protect setting is on, it will
not be possible to Write. In this case, you must turn off
the Global mode Memory Protect setting before you ex-
ecute the Write operation.
Never turn off the power during the Write operation. This
can damage the data.
