•If there is no data in

the pattern track (sequencer-track data only) and no Ending section or

end-of-song marker is encoun- tered, playback will stop automatically when the end of the sequencer-track data is reached.

If the pattern track contains data and no Ending section or end-of-song marker is encoun- tered, playback will continue until stopped by pressing the

key.

Style Number and Section

Any style number from 001 through 100 can be entered for each measure. The style name appears to the right of the style number. Only one pattern (style & section) can entered per measure, and that pattern will begin playing from the beginning of the measure at which it is entered.

A pattern entered once will continue to play until a different pattern is entered. If you want to change sections without changing the style number, only the pattern need be entered.

In the example display below the intro section of style 001 plays for the first measure, the MAIN A section of the same style is selected in measure 2.

Time Signature

Although the original time signature for the selected pattern is automatically selected, the time signature value for each measure can be changes as required. The available time signatures are:

1/16 ... 16/16 l/8 ... 16/8 1/4 ... 8/4

If a time signature is selected that results in shorter measures than the pattern default, the pattern will be truncated (cut short) accordingly. If the selected time signature results in longer measures than the pattern default, the pattern will be repeated to fill the specified measure length.

End-of-Song Marker

By moving the cursor to the “End” block and pressing the [+1/YES] key you can enter an end-of-song marker which will cause playback to stop at the end of the corresponding measure (in the example display, below, playback will stop at the end of the 24th measure). This allows you to stop playback at any point without having to use an Ending section.
