Looping a Sequence

During playback, the designated region of the sequence will be played back repeatedly until STOP
is pressed. During recording, after the set number of bars have been recorded the REC mode
automatically changes to the OVERDUB mode and the sequence will then play repeatedly until
STOP is pressed, allowing you to keep dubbing on top of the sequence (further recording is added
to the original, the original is not deleted).
