The display indication changes as follows. This screen lets you

select whether to match phrase playback to the rhythm section

measure/tempo.

.Turn the dial to select one of the following

methods.

When you select this setting, the selected phrase is played

continuously, independent of the rhythm song bar lines and

tempo. (Default setting)

●Adjust Bar

When you select this setting, phrase playback start is

aligned to the measure start of the rhythm song. If one

measure of the phrase (phrase playback range divided by

number of measures speciﬁed by Measure x parameter) is

longer than one measure of the rhythm song, the phrase is

switched when the number of measures speciﬁed by the

Measure x parameter has played, without waiting for the

end of the phrase. If one measure of the phrase is shorter

than one measure of the rhythm song, there will be a blank

until the measure where playback switches to the next

phrase.

●Adjust Bar & Length

When you select this setting, the phrase length is adjusted

so that the measures of the rhythm song and the phrase are

matched. (Pitch will not change.)

NOTE

•When selecting Adjust Bar or Adjust Bar & Length, verify that the

Measure x parameter for each phrase is set to a suitable number

of measures. If the setting is inappropriate, the rhythm song and

phrase will not synchronize properly.

•If Adjust Bar & Length is selected and the expansion/contraction

ratio exceeds a certain range (50 – 150%), the indication “Out of

Range” appears, and the results may not be as expected.
