Main functions

■Punch In/Out (Song)

You can use this method when you want to re-record only over a specific area of the track. In this case, you must set the start and end points before you begin the re-recording.

In the eight-measure example below, the third measures through the fifth measure are re-recorded.

Song Chain

This function allows songs to be “chained” together for automatic sequential playback. The MOTIF allows you to create one Song Chain data.

Song 01 Song 22 Song 15

Pattern Chain

Pattern Chain allows you to string several different Patterns together to make a single Song. You can have the MOTIF automatically change Styles and Sections by creating Pattern Chains in this way beforehand. You can also use them when creating Songs based on a certain Pattern, since the created Pattern Chains can be converted into a Song. The MOTIF allows you to create one Pattern Chain data.
