Song sequences.

select the desired Song by using the Data Dial, or the [INC/
YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. Likewise, assign the other
Songs to locations 002, 003, 004, and so on.
In addition, the following parameters can be set in the Song
Chain.
Move the cursor to the top of the Song Chain display, and
press the [F] (Play) button to start Song playback.
When the Song Chain programmed in step #2 reaches to the
end, playback stops automatically. Press the [■] (Stop) button
during playback to stop Song Chain playback.
n The Song Chain can only be played back in the Song Chain display,
