Parameter Value Explanation
Track1:Play Mode
LOOP
Specifying How the Track Will Play (Play Mode)
This specifies whether the track playback will be looped or one-shot (i.e., not looped).
Loop
One Shot
Loop
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
If one-shot playback is
selected, playback will
stop when it reaches the
end of the phrase (it will
not loop).
* Recording/overdubbing cannot be carried out with respect to tracks that are set to “ONE SHOT.” To create a track
intended for one-shot playback, you first need to carry out recording/overdubbing while it is set to “LOOP” and save
it. Then, you should change its setting to “ONE SHOT.”
LOOP Conventional loop playback.
ONE SHOT
The phrase will play only once from the beginning to the end of the track, and then stop
automatically.
If you press the [REC/DUB/PLAY] pedal during playback, playback will begin again from the
beginning of the track (Retrigger Playback).
Track1:Reverse
OFF
Playing a Track Backward (Reverse)
This specifies whether the track will play forward in the conventional manner, or play backward in time (reverse playback).

(BPM120.0) AUTO
Original Tempo (p . 19)
Specifying the Number of Measures in a Track (Measure)
You can specify the number of measures for each track. When recording rhythm sounds or when recording along
with other tracks, it’s convenient to specify the number of measures before you record, so that looping will occur at
the specified measure length, even if you don’t operate the pedal when you’ve finished recording.
One measure
Four measures
Eight measures
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
AUTO
Tracks that are set to AUTO will have the same number of measures. The number of
measures is determined by the first-recorded track of the tracks that are set to AUTO. For
example, if all tracks are set to AUTO, the value set as the number of measures for the
second and subsequent tracks will be identical to the number of measures in the first track
that was recorded.
FREE The number of measures will be set automatically, corresponding to the length of the recording.
1, 2, 3... The number of measures will be set manually.
Track1:Stop Mode
IMMEDIATE
Specifying How the Track Will Stop (Stop Mode)
This specifies how the track will stop when you press the [STOP] pedal.
• The PLAY indicator will blink until playback stops.
• If you press the [STOP] pedal once again before playback stops, playback will stop immediately.
* You can’t overdub during the time until playback stops.
IMMEDIATE Playback will stop immediately.
FADE OUT Playback will fade out and then stop.
LOOP END Playback will continue to the end of the loop, and then stop.
