When set to Pad Pattern Function (p. 65), each time the pad is struck returns you to the beginning of the song and starts playback.

The sounds in the song are played back one by one in

sequence each time [PLAY ] is pressed.

When set to Pad Pattern Function (p. 65), the sounds are played back in sequence each time the pad is struck.
