Song Sounds Odd
Have the part settings been changed?
(SONG/PART; p. 88)
➝ Press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] to make the settings.

Beginning
Is the song playback type set to “TAP?”
(SONG/COMMON/Play Type; p. 86)

“TAP” refers to the convenient playback function in Pad
Pattern (tapping the pad causes the song to be played

The Song Stops Suddenly When
Playing the Pads
Are you using the Pad Pattern function?
(KIT/CONTROL/Pad Ptn; p. 65)
➝ If so, look at your settings. Or see p. 65.
When triggering/playing a song that is set to “LOOP” or
“ONE SHOT” mode, if you trigger another song (from a
pad), also in “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT” mode then the last
song played will have priority. Don't forget that some
“songs” are very short, a few notes, or even one chord. So
“sudden” stops can be caused by accidently triggering one
of these short songs. Always check your Pad Pattern
settings.

➝ Lower the pad’s instrument volume.
