Playing songs
Two or more patterns connected in the order of playback are called a
song
.
When you play back a song, the patterns will switch automatically—you don’t need to select each pattern yourself. In one song, you
can register
up to 50 patterns
in the desired order of playback.
The number describing the order in which the patterns are arranged is called the
step
.

* The [FWD], [BWD], and [TOP] buttons can also be used during
playback.
You can have playback resume from step 1 when the currently
playing pattern finishes playing.
This is convenient when you want to play back a few measures
while you adjust the BPM to match a turntable, and then when the
BPM is correct, play back from step 1.

When the currently playing pattern finishes, the playback will
return to the beginning of the song.

to select the desired song.
In Song mode as well, you can change the BPM or part muting status
in the same way as in Pattern mode. For details on how to change
these, refer to the section
