CONTROLLING PLAYBACK POSITION
If you press STOP while a song is playing, the next time you press PLAY the Song will start
from the beginning.
If you press PLAY while a song is playing, the song will pause. Press PLAY again to
resume playback.
Press PAGE UP while a song is playing to advance playback to the next Song step.
Press PAGE DOWN while a song is playing to restart playback from the current Song step.
LOOP A PATTERN INDEFINITELY
In Song Perform mode, pressing and holding FILL until the end of a song step will cause that step
to repeat. A footswitch plugged into the Count/A/B/Fill jack will perform the same function.
For example, you can use this feature if a soloist decides to take another few bars.
Another use is if two Songs share the same tempo. Follow the first Song with a blank Pattern,
then append the second Song. Between Songs, hold down the footswitch on the blank Pattern
song step, then release to start the second Song.
START FROM THE MIDDLE OF A SONG
You need not start a Song from the beginning each time; in Record mode, a Song can start at
any Song step.
1.
Make sure the SR18 is in Record mode (Press the REC button), even if you don't plan to
record anything.
2.
Use the INC/DEC buttons to select the Song step at which you want the SR18 to start
playing.
3.
Press PLAY. The SR18 will start playing at the downbeat of the selected Song step.
4.
If you don't want to extend the Song length, use the normal Playback mode before reaching
the end of the Song (press REC again so the REC LED is no longer illuminated). If you do
want to extend the Song length, remain in Record mode.
