Song playback

To play several patterns

simultaneously, push several pads
together.

Up to 4 patterns can be played simultaneously,
using the same tempo. Slightly shifting the timing
when you hit the pads is also possible.

NOTE

If 5 or more pads are pushed, only the
patterns of the last 4 pads will be played.

To play a song while groove play

continues in the background, use
the VALUE [+]/[-] keys to select the
song number and press the PLAY
[

] key.

In groove play mode, the PLAY [

] key and

STOP [

] key can be used to start or stop the

currently selected song. Also while a song is
playing, up to four patterns assigned to pads can
be played.

HINT

During groove playback, pad operation
(press/release) is detected using the
quantize value (shortest note) as the
detection interval.

This is aimed at matching the timing to
other grooves and songs played at the
same time. Playing with fast timing is
therefore facilitated by choosing a low
quantize value. To play with small timing
shifts, choose a higher quantize setting.

NOTE

In groove play mode, song editing is not
possible.

To terminate the groove play mode,

press the [SONG] key or [PATTERN]
key.
