Songs
A song is a series of patterns that play in a repeating sequence. To add a pattern to the song, hold the
Select button while pressing a sequence of number buttons.
Holding Select while pressing a number button adds a pattern to the song, even if you have previously
released Select, even if you have changed a setting, or switched modes.
To clear the song and play a single pattern, just press a number button without holding Select.
You can create a song while no patterns are playing. The song will begin playing when you press the Play
button.
Patterns in the song do not need to be contiguous or sequential. For example: 2, 1, 5 is a valid song.
Patterns can repeat in the song. For example: 1, 1, 1, 2 or 1,2,1,3. Songs like those are very useful musi-
cally.
You can press the Row button while holding the Select button.
A song can be up to 15 patterns.
A song can be saved and recalled. See the Set: Save and Set: Song sections for details.
