SQ16

Selecting the Song and Song step you want to edit (start/continue mode):

If you activate "Song Edit" during playback the currently playing Song Step will be repeated permanently. The Song Step set-
tings now can be changed and monitored simultaneously. Using the "arrow" buttons in the left Select/Edit section you can sel-
ect different Song Steps.

Assigning a Pattern to a Song Step - Activating/Deactivating Rotate

1. Activate "Song Edit - Pattern".

2. Use the up/down buttons (step buttons 11 and 12) to assign a Pattern to the Song Step, alternatively you can use step

buttons 1-9, 0.

3. Press the Enter buttons to activate the Rotate setting for this Song Step. You can deactivate Rotate by pressing Enter

again. The right display shows the Pattern Number and simultaneously whether Rotate is active or not.

Please note: The function Song Edit - Rotate is used to select which Rotate setting is active.

Editing Pattern repeats:

1. Activate "Song Edit - Repeat".

2. Use the up/down buttons (step buttons 11 and 12) to enter how often the assigned Pattern shall be played (1 to 32

times); alternatively you can use step buttons 1-9, 0.

Assigning a Rotate setting to a Song Step:

One of the 16 different Rotate settings can be assigned to a Song Step. The Rotate setting is only active if it was turned on
with the function Song Edit - Pattern. In this case the Rotate On/Off setting determines which instrument tracks and note
tracks are affected.

1. Activate "Song Edit - Rotate".

2. Use the up/down buttons (step buttons 11 and 12) to enter the desired Rotate setting; alternatively you can use step but-

tons 1-9, 0.
