Using a Foot Switch to Specify
Switching of Song Patterns
By using a foot switch while playing back
songs, you can set the DR-3 so that a single
pattern plays back repeatedly until you
press the foot switch, at which point the
song advances to the next pattern.
Using these settings, you don’t have to
determine how many times the patterns are
to be played, but instead you can record
each pattern just one time each in the
sequence they are to be played, then use the
foot switch to switch the patterns during
playback.
When using a foot switch to switch song
patterns, set the [EDIT]
“LoopType” to “BLOCK.” For more details,
refer to “Setting a Specified Segment for
Playing Repeatedly” (p. 87).
