XTurn Phrase Repeat ON and Select a Phrase Number........................................................................
Press the [PHRASE REPEAT] button (its LED indicator will light). When this
is done the SONG NUMBER display will function as the phrase number display.
Use the [] and [] buttons below the display to select the desired phrase number
(refer to the DISK ORCHESTRA COLLECTION book that comes with the DISK
ORCHESTRA COLLECTION disk).
This function allows you to specify any section of a DISK ORCHESTRA song for continuous repeat playback.
While the song is playing, hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] and press the
[PHRASE REPEAT] button once at the beginning of the section to be repeated
(the “A” point) and again at the end of the section to be repeated (the “B” point).
Repeat playback will begin automatically from the A point as soon as the B point
has been specified. The programmed A and B points are retained until a different
song number or mode is selected, and the A-B phrase can be selected again for
repeat playback after playback has been stopped by following the Phrase Repeat
procedure described above and selecting “A-b” instead of a phrase number in step
X.
NOTES
The specified A-B repeat points will be erased when a new song number is se-
lected.

Phrase playback will repeat until the [START/STOP] button is pressed a second
time.
