audio player stops. Rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob to select another step,
then start playback. (If you start playback
again without selecting a different step,
the same song file is played back again.)
CHAIN STP The next song file is selected automati-
cally at the end of the current step but
playback of the next step needs to be
started by hand. (If you stop playback
halfway into the song, then start it again,
the next step is played back.)
CHAIN PLY The next song file is selected automati-
cally at the end of the current step and
playback of the new step starts automati-
cally. (If you stop playback halfway into
