memory has played through to its End point, the sequencer will stop and that song will be the 
new CurSong.
Chain:  For every song, there is a parameter called ChainTo found on the COMMON page that 
determines what other song, if any, will immediately follow this song’s playback when 
PlayMode is set to Chain. When the current song ends, the ChainTo song will replace the 
previous CurSong, and if its ChainTo parameter is set to any value other than 0 None, then the 
Chain PlayMode will continue playback with the next song being chained. When the last song 
in the chain has played through to its End point, the sequencer will stop and that song will be 
the new CurSong.
The most common use for the Chain PlayMode is to construct a set list of different songs. Since 
the songs chained together are played immediately after one another, we recommend that you 
include a few measures of silence either at the end or the beginning of each song in the Chain.
When you want to string songs together more seamlessly, you can create an arrangement with 
the Arrangement Editor. See page 12-64 and page 12-12.
KeyWait
KeyWait specifies whether the sequencer will wait for a Note event before going into PLAYING 
or RECORDING status. With the KeyWait On, press the Play soft button while the sequencer is 
STOPPED or REC READY and the new status, KEY WAIT, will flash in the Song Status Field 
until a key is played. You can override the KEY WAIT status by pressing the Play soft button 
twice.
Locate
The Locate Bar and Beat will change in real time during play back and recording to reflect the 
song’s current position. It can be set to a Bar and Beat before (negative values) or during a song. 
Once a song’s length is defined, the End point is the maximum value for the Locate parameter. If 
Locate is not set to 1 : 1, the count off, if any, is disabled during play back or recording.
This parameter is identical to the Locate parameter on the MAIN page.
AutoIn
When you are in Auto record mode, AutoIn is the Bar and Beat when the recording will begin. If 
AutoIn is not set to 1 : 1, the count off, if any, is disabled. The AutoIn setting will not have an 
effect on recording unless the RecMode is set to Auto. When this parameter’s value is 
highlighted, pressing the In/Out soft button updates only the AutoIn parameter; it doesn’t 
update the AutoOut parameter.
AutoOut
When you are in Auto record mode, AutoOut is the Bar and Beat when the recording will stop.   
Set the AutoOut location earlier than the Bar and Beat defined as the AutoIn point in order to 
record to the very end of a song. The AutoOut setting will not have an effect on recording unless 
the RecMode is set to Auto.
Input Quantize (Quant)
This parameter determines how much Note events are moved towards grid locations upon the 
initial input of the events. If set to Off, no Quantizing will occur while you record, and the exact 
timing of your performance will be preserved during play back. If set to 100%, every recorded 
Note event will be aligned to the closest grid location, defined by the Grid setting. Input
