This area shows the currently-playing sequence and the sequence that will be played
next.
A Seq field
Selects the sequence that will be played. During playback, this shows the current
sequence.

Indicates the sequence that will be played next. During playback, you can move the cur-
sor to this field and use the [JOG] dial to select the next sequence.
Now block
This area shows the current location and tempo of the sequence that is playing.
A Now field
Indicates the current location within the currently-playing sequence, in mea-
sures/beats/ticks. When the cursor is in this field, you can change the current location in

Using the pads to switch sequences
Here’s how you can use the pads to switch sequences while playing them.
1. In the Seq field of the Main page, select the sequence that you want to play and
press the [NEXT SEQUENCE] key.
The Next Sequence page will appear. The Seq field will show the sequence you selected
in the Main page.
2. Press the [PLAY] key.
The sequence will begin playing. The sequence shown in the Seq field will play repeat-
edly.
3. Strike the pad that corresponds to the sequence you want to play next.
The number and name of the new sequence will be in the Next field.
When the currently-playing sequence reaches the end, playback will switch to the new
sequence. At this time, the sequence that had been shown in the Next field will move to
the Seq field, and the Next field will be blank.
Hint: Only sequence numbers 1–96 can be controlled in the Next Sequence page. If you want to use
a sequence that is numbered 97 or higher, copy it to a sequence numbered 96 or lower.
Hint: If you press the [MASTER TEMPO] key to switch the tempo source to MASTER (the LED will
light), all sequences will play at the tempo shown in the tempo field.
Hint: You can use the PAD BANK [A]–[F] keys to switch the sequences that are shown in the display.
During playback, also you can move the cursor to the Next field and use the [JOG] dial to select the
next sequence.
If you want to cancel the sequence that is shown in the Next field, press the [F5] key (CLEAR) and the
Next field will return to the blank state.
