SONG MODE
3. Use the Position Controls to move to the
starting position in the song, at or before
measure B.
4. Press [START/STOP] to begin playback.
Playback will start from the point selected,
continue to measure B, go back to measure
A, and repeat between A and B indefinitely.
Note: For the A-B Repeat function to operate properly, you
should start playback from a point AT or BEFORE
measure B.
If you start from a point AFTER the B measure, the
song will playback until the end of the song and then
simply stop, without going to either the A or B meas-
ure.
This happens because the A-B Repeat function “looks
for” the B measure, and if it is not “found” (in other
words, if there is no B measure after the playback
starting point), there will be no repeat.
5. Press [START/STOP] to stop playback.
6. To turn off the repeat function, simultane-
ously hold down [SHIFT] and press [A-B
REPEAT ] again.
Loop (Repeat) Recording (A to B)
This function allows you to record events in
realtime, while a specified range of measures (A to
B) loops or repeats indefinitely.
SONG EDIT MODE (SONG EDITING)
Operation —
1. Mark the A and B points of the measures you
wish to repeat.
2. Simultaneously hold down [SHIFT] and press
[A-B REPEAT
]. The “repeat” indication
appears in the SONG box.
3. Simultaneously press [SHIFT] and [SONG
REC] to enable recording.
Note: In Repeat recording, if the current position is
somewhere outside the A-B region (before or
after), the position indicator automatically
moves to the beginning of measure A for the
starting position, when step #3 is executed.
4. Use the Position Controls to move the start-
ing point within the A-B region, if you wish.
Note: POSITION CONTROLS IN REPEAT RECORDING—
The Position Controls are only effective within
the A-B range in Repeat recording. Moreover,
the jump-to-beginning ( b) and jump-to-end
( ) controls function respectively the same
as JUMP-A and JUMP-B. In other words, pressing
[n] + [v] moves the position to the beginning of
measure A, not the beginning of the song, and
pressing [ /] + [ m] moves the position to the
beginning of measure B, not the last event
of
the song.
