A set of patterns that are connected in the order of
playback is called a “song.”
When you play back a song, the patterns will change
automatically in sequence, so it will not be necessary
for you to select patterns yourself. You can register up
to 50 patterns in each song, in the order in which they
are to be played back.
Playing Back a Song
1. In the SEQUENCER section, press [MODE] to
make the indicator light (Song mode).

* For songs, it is not possible to select the preset group or
card group.
3. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to select
a bank and number (U:11–U:72).
The number and name shown in the display will
change.
* You can also use the BANK and NUMBER [1]–[8] but-
tons to select songs.
The song is now selected.
* With the factory settings, U:35–U:72 will be blank songs
(EMPTY SONG) that contain no musical data. Even if
you select EMPTY SONG and then play back, no song
will play back.
4. Press [STOP/PLAY], and the song will begin
playing back.
When song playback begins, the display will indicate
the current pattern name, just as during pattern play-
back. As playback continues, the patterns will switch
automatically in the recorded sequence. Tempo
changes and the measure display within the pattern
can be controlled in the same way as when playing
back a pattern (p. 31).

back, the display will show the playback order of the
currently-playing pattern. In the following example,

Fast-forward and rewind
Each time you press [FWD], you will fast-forward in
units of a pattern.
Each time you press [BWD], you will rewind in units
of a pattern.
By holding down [FWD] and pressing [BWD], you can
advance to the beginning of the last pattern.
By holding down [BWD] and pressing [FWD], you can
return to the beginning of the song. If you use [FWD]
and [BWD] to move while the song is stopped, the dis-
play will show the playback order of that pattern.
Cautions for song playback
Songs do not actually contain the musical data of the
patterns; they contain only the order in which the pat-
terns are to be played back. This means that if you
modify a pattern that has been registered in a song,
the playback of the song will also be affected. If you
delete all of the musical data of the pattern, playback
will stop at the moment that that pattern is selected.
If a song uses patterns that are saved in a memory
card, song playback will stop if the memory card is
not inserted into the memory card slot. Be sure that
the memory card is inserted into the memory card
slot.
