Muting Tracks
You can mute tracks while a song is playing back to listen to a part by itself or to try different arrangement ideas:
1) Press SEQUENCER.
2) Press PLAY. The sequence will playback.
3) CURSOR to Loop= or M= and use the Track/Part buttons (1-16) to toggle the tracks on and off.
Setting up a Playback Loop
You can use the loop function to create a song with a section that will automatically repeat when it is played. First,
you will need to load a song into the XP-60/80:
1) Press DISK.
2) CURSOR to LOAD and press ENTER.
3) Use the VALUE DIAL to select the desired song and press F6 (Execute).
Use the following procedure to set up the loop:
1) Press SEQUENCER followed by F5 (Loop).
2) CURSOR to Start and use the VALUE DIAL to select the point you want the loop to begin.
3) CURSOR to End and use the VALUE DIAL to select the point you want the loop to end.
4) CURSOR to Repeat and use the VALUE DIAL to select how many times you want the loop to repeat.
5) Press EXIT followed by LOOP so it is lit.
If you would like to save the changes to your song, use the following procedure:
1) Press DISK.
2) CURSOR to SAVE and press ENTER.
3) Press F6 (Execute), the screen will display “Overwrite?” Press F5 (OK).
Your song will now playback normally to the loop point, it will then repeat as many times as specified before going
on to the end.
Hint: If you set Repeat to INFINIT, the section will repeat until you turn off the LOOP button. This is a good
way to manually control how long the section will play.
As you can see, the XP-60 and XP-80 are very powerful instruments. You can create music in a number of
different ways to suit your style and preferences. You can edit your sequences in many different ways and use
Patterns, Phrase tracks, or the RPS function to play them back. There are usually several ways to accomplish
anything you need to do. Also, the Undo function can really save you if you make a mistake or don’t like
something you’ve just done. So relax, don’t be afraid to experiment, and above all, have fun!
