Specifying the Area of a Song that will Repeat (Loop Points)

When using Loop Play or Loop Recording, you can use the loop points you specify here to specify the repeated area, as an alternative to repeating the specified number of measures.

If the song time signature is different than the pattern time signature (pattern beat), the loop points will be displayed differently in the song and pattern.

4.Move the cursor to the desired parameter, and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the setting.

Select the number of repeats (1–99). If you want repetition to continue until you press [STOP/PLAY], set this to “INFINIT.”

Start

Specify the location at which repetition is to begin.

If you press [7 (Set)], the current location of the song will be set as the starting location.

End

Specify the location at which repetition will end. The location you specify here will not be included in the repeated area.

If you press [7 (Set)], the current location of the song will be set as the ending location.

5.If you press [8 (Loop)] to assign a check mark (), looping will be turned on.
