available for recording, or the remaining memory of
the internal sequencer. This is common for all the
internal sequencer functions, Song, Pattern and
Arpeggio.

The song name and the current measure number
will be displayed. These items cannot be modified.
Track Section
These settings are used to set the Mute and Play Effects
Thru to “on” or “off” for each track even during song
playback.
■ Track Number
One song consists of 1~16 sequence tracks, Pt
(Pattern) tracks, and Fx (Pattern Play Effects) tracks.
The Track Number is highlighted (box colored
black) for tracks that have been recorded on and
contain data.
■ Mute
Sets Mute for a track, by moving the cursor to the
Mute line, and using Data Dial or [INC]/[DEC] to
select “on” or “off.” As shown in the diagram, the
box colored black indicates that Mute is turned “on.”
When Mute is turned “on,” that track is muted
during playback, and the sound is temporarily
suspended. When Mute is turned “off,” only the
outline of the box will be displayed, Mute is
canceled, and sound will once again be produced.
■ Play Effects Thru
Sets FxThru (Play Effects Thru) for a track, by
moving the cursor to the FX Thru line, and using
Data Dial or [INC]/[DEC] to select “on” or “off.” As
shown in the diagram, the box colored black
indicates that FxThru is turned “on.” When FxThru
is turned “on” for a track, Play Effects are
temporarily by-passed during playback. When
FxThru is turned “off,” only the outline of the box
will be displayed, the FxThru function is canceled,
and Play Effect settings become effective once again.
The Play Effects Thru function is not available for the
Pattern Play Effects tracks.
