Half-speed playback

During playback, you can press and hold the [PLAY] key 
to play back at half-speed.

Consecutive playback (Chain Play) – playing songs one 
after another

Here’s how songs you created can be played automati-
cally in order of their song number.

1

Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [PLAY] 
key.
The selected song will begin playing from the current 
time location. When that song ends, the next song will 
begin playing automatically. When the last recorded 
song finishes playing, you will return to the beginning 
of the first song, and consecutive playback will stop.

2

To stop playback before the end, press the [STOP] 
key.
The song that had been playing when you pressed the 
[STOP] key will be the current song.

2. Other types of playback

In addition to the playback methods described above, you 
can use the following types of playback. For details, refer 
to the pages listed.
• Adjust the level or pan of the sound being played back.

• Apply effects to the sound being played back. (

Step 5. Viewing and changing the 
time location

This section explains how you can change the time loca-
tion within a song.

switched according to your needs.

switch the display format. (

When the counter is displayed, pressing the [CUR-
