Tip: Auto Song Setup
The Auto Song Setup feature copies the current Program or

ready mode.

playing, you can use this function to start recording
immediately. To do so:
1. Hold down the ENTER switch and press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch.
The Setup to Record dialog box will open and ask “Are you
sure?”
2. Press OK.
You will automatically enter Sequencer mode, and will be in
the record-ready state.
3. Press the START/STOP switch to start the sequencer
and begin recording.
