Continue, Re-start, or Jump to Next Song Step
• In Compose mode, if you stop a Song and then press PLAY, the Song will continue from the
first beat of the Pattern that was playing when STOP was pressed.
• In Perform mode, if you stop a Song and then press PLAY, the Song will re-start from the
beginning.
• In either Compose or Perform mode, press PLAY while the Song is playing to immediately
jump ahead to the next Song step. Its associated Pattern will begin on the downbeat. This is a
convenient way to "fast forward" over certain parts of a Song.
5.1D
"Loop" a Pattern Indefinitely
In Song Perform mode, pressing and holding FILL until the end of a song step will cause that
step to repeat. A footswitch plugged into the Count/A/B/Fill jack will perform the same function.
Examples:
Use this feature if a soloist decides to take another few bars. Another use is if two
Songs share the same tempo. Follow the first Song with a blank Pattern, then append the
second Song. Between Songs, hold down the footswitch on the blank Pattern song step, then
release to start the second Song.

and the INC/DEC buttons to select the desired character. Lower case and upper case letters,
