BASIC OPERATION

• Song Examples

Because of the Repeat and Jump functions, Songs can be made as
complex as you like. Remember to set Beats mode (in the Master
menu) to “3:User Settings” if you want the Song to play back your
own Tempo, X-Factor and Preset settings.

The diagrams below show a few examples of how songs can be
constructed.

In the above example, beat 7 plays once and then beat 18 plays once.
At event E2, the song jumps back and repeats E0 and E1. When events
E0 and E1 have looped 16 times, the song moves on to steps E3, E4,
and E5, which stops the song.

Infinite Repeat

S22

In the above example, beats 21, 30 and 62 are simply repeated indefi-
nitely until you turn off Beat/Song mode.

Instead of jumping to a previous step, song 23 jumps to song 20 in the
example above. This technique might be used to add a “lead in” to a
previously stored song.
