When you hit a pad while pressing the [REPEAT/STEP] key,
the pad plays repeatedly at the specified interval (roll play). For
example, you can repeat a kick drum at quarter note intervals,
or play a hihat in sixteenth note units.
To stop roll play, release the pad.
If you release the [REPEAT/STEP] key first, roll play
continues also when you release the pad. To stop roll play in
this case, press the pad once more.
You can also set a different interval for different pads. For
example, when you select a quarter note interval for pad 1 and
an eighth note interval for pad 2, the following play results.
To return to the previous screen, press the [EXIT] key.

When playing a bass program with the pads, you can specify

used by the scale, you can cover more than four octaves.
NOTE
The bass program does not allow multiple tones to be played
simultaneously. When you hit a pad, the sound of the
immediately preceding pad will cease and only the sound of
the new pad is heard.
