Note: If you enter editing later, you might see a different edit

page instead of the first one. Use the SCROLL button to reach it.

This icon will stay steadily on when cycle measures are playing back. It will flash when measures located before or after the cycle measures are playing (for example, it will flash if measure 2 or 16 is playing back, when the cycle is delimited by measures 4 and 12).

During playback, you can press the PLAY/PAUSE button to pause the song, or restart it from the current point. You can press the STOP button to stop the song and go back to the Cycle’s Start Measure.
