Selecting Variations (VARIATION)
fig.02-04p
Each Style includes three different variations, which you can use
to add variety to the performance, even with the same Style.
The functions of the three VARIATION buttons are described
below.
1.
While the performance is in progress, press VARIATION
[PTN], [KIT], or [MUTE] so the button lights up.
The pressed button lights up (indicating it is on).
When you press the button once more, the button’s light goes out
(indicating it is off), and the original Pattern is played.
You can also perform with more than one of these buttons on.
