For information on entry procedures, refer to page 73.

The display indication changes as follows. This screen lets you
select whether to match phrase playback to the rhythm section
measure/tempo.

. Turn the dial to select one of the following
methods.
● Adjust Off
When you select this setting, the selected phrase is played
continuously, independent of the rhythm song bar lines and
tempo. (Default setting)
● Adjust Bar
When you select this setting, phrase playback start is
aligned to the measure start of the rhythm song. If one
measure of the phrase (phrase playback range divided by
number of measures specified by Measure x parameter) is
longer than one measure of the rhythm song, the phrase is
switched when the number of measures specified by the
Measure x parameter has played, without waiting for the
end of the phrase. If one measure of the phrase is shorter
than one measure of the rhythm song, there will be a blank
until the measure where playback switches to the next
phrase.
● Adjust Bar & Length
When you select this setting, the phrase length is adjusted
so that the measures of the rhythm song and the phrase are
matched. (Pitch will not change.)
NOTE
• When selecting Adjust Bar or Adjust Bar & Length, verify that the
Measure x parameter for each phrase is set to a suitable number
of measures. If the setting is inappropriate, the rhythm song and
phrase will not synchronize properly.
• If Adjust Bar & Length is selected and the expansion/contraction
ratio exceeds a certain range (50 – 150%), the indication “Out of
Range” appears, and the results may not be as expected.
11
. Press the [ENTER] key.
The indication “Create?” appears on the display.
12
. To carry out the phrase loop writing process,
press the [ENTER] key once more.
The phrase loop is written. When the process is completed, the
display reverts to the phrase screen.
By pressing the [EXIT] key instead of the [ENTER] key, you
can cancel the operation and back up one step at a time.
13
. To return to the main screen, press the [EXIT]
key several times.
