Song mode
Recording a song
You can input patterns one by one to specify the order in which the patterns will be played back.
A song does not contain the actual performance data of the patterns in the song; it merely stores the playback order of the patterns.
This means that if you modify one of the patterns that’s used by a song, the playback of that song will be affected. If you delete all of
the performance data in the pattern, playback will stop the moment that pattern is selected. If the song uses a pattern that’s saved on
a CompactFlash card, the song will stop playing unless the CompactFlash card is inserted in the memory card slot. You must make
sure that the CompactFlash card is inserted in the memory card slot.

If you’ve selected a new song and begun recording, the step
number will be “01.”
3.
Select the pattern to be played at this step (p. 42).
4.
Press [ENTER].
You will proceed to the next step.
5.
Repeat the above steps 3 and 4 to input the patterns to be
played for the subsequent steps.
6.
After you have finished inputting the last step, press
[STOP] to end the recording process.
7.
If you want to save the song, press [WRITE].
If you don’t save the song, the settings will revert to their prior
state when you turn off the power.

Auditioning a pattern
While you are recording, you can press [PLAY] to audition the
selected pattern. You can select different patterns while you audition
them. To stop the auditioning, press [STOP].
Moving between steps
After recording several steps, you can press [BWD] [FWD] to move
between steps.
During song recording, you can edit setup parameters (p. 43) such as
part mute and effect settings and then press [ENTER] to register the
state of those parameters. This will simply store the setup
parameters of each pattern as song data, and does not affect the
original pattern in any way.
By using this to change the mute status of a pattern or to change the
MFX type, you can have a single pattern play in a variety of ways as
the song progresses.
