Reference [Phrase Looping]
● Line up phrases
Use the "+" symbol to line up phrases. For example, entering
0 + 1 + 2 will result in the following play sequence.
Phrase 0 Phrase 1
● Repeat phrases
Use the "x" symbol to specify phrase repetitions. "x" takes
precedence over "+". For example, entering 0 + 1 x 2 + 2 will
result in the following play sequence.
Phrase 0 Phrase 1
● Link phrases
Use the "(" and ")" symbols to link a group of phrases for
repetition, and use the "x" symbol to specify the repetition
count. For example, entering (1 + 2) x 2 + 3 will result in the
following play sequence.
Phrase 1 Phrase 2
An example for creating the phrase loop "0 + (1 + 2) x 8 + 3 "
is shown below.

If the equation for the phrase loop does not fit on two lines,
the characters scroll one by one. If you use the cursor left/
right keys to move the input position, the line scrolls on both
sides accordingly.
After entering an equation, it can be edited as follows.
● Inserting numbers or symbols
Use the cursor left/right keys to move the cursor (flashing
segment) to the desired insert position. And press the desired
pad.
● Deleting numbers or symbols
Use the cursor left/right keys to move the cursor (flashing
segment) to the desired position and press the [DELETE/
ERASE] key.
When equation input is complete, specify a track/V-take on
which to store the phrase loop as audio data.

• The equation for a phrase loop is stored as part of a project
also after writing the result to a track/V-take. Therefore you
