The
•Nine sample parts to which a sample can be assigned
•A slice sample part to which a slice sample (which can inde- pendently handle separate notes in a phrase) can be assigned

When you press a part key, its sound will be heard, and simul- taneously that part will be selected. During playback, you can hold down the Shift key and press a part key to select that part without sounding it.
When a part is selected, its part key will light, and the step keys will show the rhythm pattern of that part. The controls of the Synthesizer section will be enabled for that part.
During playback, each part key will light at the timing with which it sounds, making it easy for you to determine which sounds are playing. The step keys will continue to show the rhythm pattern of that part, and will also indicate the rhythm location.
When you sound a part by pressing its part key, it will sound at the volume of when Accent is On.

By holding down the Part Mute key (Tap key) while you press a part key, you can mute (temporarily silence) that part. While you hold down the Part Mute key (Tap key), the mute status of each part will be displayed. The part key of unmuted parts will light, and muted part keys will be dark.
You can also mute two or more parts. To cancel part muting, press the corresponding part key.
