Song Track Loop — setting example
In the example below, a 40-measure song has been recorded and
Track 1 is set to play back normally over the 40 measures. Track 2 has
been set to loop, and will repeat until the [J] (Stop) button is
pressed.
When Track Loop has been set to on, you can specify the range to be
looped. (Only the end point can be set; the start point of looped
playback is fixed to the beginning of the song.)
Please note that changing the Track Loop from off to on will delete the data
of the area that is not looped.
1 Press [F1] to call up the Song Play display. Here, change
the change the current measure — this will be used for the
last measure of the loop.
2 Call up the [F3] TRACK [SF3] TR LOOP display and
move the cursor to the track to be looped.
3 Set the selected track to on by using the [INC/YES] and
[DEC/NO] buttons or the data dial. (The display prompts
you for confirmation.)
4 Press the [INC/YES] button. The Loop is set to on and the
data after the loop end is deleted
If you want to restore the deleted data and return the selected
track to off, press the [SF5] UNDO button.
The Undo function can only be used on the last Track Loop operation.
If you’ve set other tracks to loop, the data of those previous tracks can-
not be recovered.

Each time you press a key and release it, the pointer moves
forward by one step and the played note is recorded.
