Perform this operation in Rec or Play modes (while a phrase is playing).
1. Press the [SET LOOP/NEXT] button .
2. Press the button that you want to reserve .
You can reserve MUTE, PLAY, REC, or STOP.
The button whose operation you reserved will blink. The next time the phrase reaches the beginning of the loop, the reserved
operation will occur.

* If the [SET LOOP/NEXT] button is blinking slowly (i .e ., when the loop point has not been
set), it will operate as the SET LOOP function (p . 43), so you won't be able to reserve the
next operation . If the [SET LOOP/NEXT] button is lit, you will be able to reserve the next
operation .
If you're reserving the Mute operation, hold down the [MUTE] button and hit the pad that you want to mute.
The [SET LOOP/NEXT] button will blink.
If you're reserving the Stop operation, press the [PLAY] button and [REC] button simultaneously.
