Creating Loop Phrases
Assigning Loop Phrases to
track buttons
The input of Loop Phrases into rhythm arrangements can be
made much simpler by allocating Loop Phrases to the
buttons for Tracks 1 through 15/16. Note also that Loop
Phrase allocation settings are saved with each specific song.
1. Press CD-R/RW [LOOP PHRASE IMPORT].
The Loop Phrase screen will appear.

3. Move the cursor to the track whose button is to be
assigned a Loop Phrase, and select the Loop Phrase’s
bank and number using the TIME/VALUE dial.

The selected Loop Phrase will now be assigned to the
track button for the selected track.
You can now press this button to play the assigned Loop
Phrase and confirm that all settings are as required.
To stop playback of the Loop Phrase, press the same
track button once again.
4. If you wish to store the track button allocation, save the
current song (p. 72).
Copying Loop Phrases
1. Press CD-R/RW [LOOP PHRASE IMPORT].
The Loop Phrase screen will appear.

2. Move the cursor to the COPY icon and press [ENTER/
YES].

fig.20-108d
3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the numbers of the
Loop Phrases to be used as the copy source and
destination.
When the cursor is positioned at the copy source or
destination, you will be able to play the corresponding
Loop Phrase by pressing [F2] (PREVIEW).
This function allows you to confirm that your settings
are correct.
Press [ENTER/YES] once again when you want to stop
playback.
4. Press [F4] (GO).
The Loop Phrase will now be copied, and when the
message “Complete!” appears, it indicates that this
operation has been completed.
It is important to remember that the destination Loop
Phrase will be completely overwritten by the Loop
Phrase specified by “FROM:”. As it will not be possible
to restore the corresponding data, care should be taken
to ensure that important Loop Phrases are not
accidentally overwritten in this way.
5. If you copied to a Loop Phrase in the song bank, you
should now save the current song (p. 72).
