When the pattern is switched within a measure,
the new pattern will normally start playing at
this point from the beginning. However, you
can also have the new pattern start playing
from a point other than the beginning. This lets
you do things such as inserting the fill-in
portion of the new pattern at the third beat of a
measure.
To do this, press the [REPEAT] key when the
new pattern number is displayed, so that a dot
(.) appears next to the pattern number.
Pressing the [REPEAT] key once more turns
the dot off. The pattern will be playing from the
start.

information is deleted, the “PTN” indication
