Specifying a pattern for each position
POSITION

............................................................... 001...256

PATTERN ........................................................

A.01...D.64, End

Here’s how to specify a pattern for each position. Make sure that the Keyboard function key is off (dark).

1.Use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to select “Position” in the display. Notice that the display indicates “001.”

2. Press the [ ] cursor key until the display reads “Pattern.”

3.Use the dial to select the pattern that you want to assign to position “001.”

4. Press the select [ ] key to advance to the next position. The display will indicate “End.”

5.Use the dial to select a pattern. The pattern you select here will be the pattern for position “002.”

6.When you select a pattern for position “002,” the next position will be “End.” Continue steps 4 and 5 to input as many patterns as you need.

To play back the completed song from the beginning

Press the PLAY/PAUSE key, and then press the STOP/CANCEL key. Alternatively, use the [ ]/[ ] cursor keys to select “Position” in the display and use the dial or the select keys to set the position to “001,” and then press the PLAY/PAUSE key.

3.Use the dial or the select keys to select the position where you want to offset the pitch.
