aligned to the measure start of the rhythm song. If one
measure of the phrase (phrase playback range divided by
number of measures specified by MEAS x parameter) is
longer than one measure of the rhythm song, the phrase is
switched when the number of measures specified by the
MEAS x parameter has played, without waiting for the
end of the phrase. If one measure of the phrase is shorter
than one measure of the rhythm song, there will be a
blank until the measure where playback switches to the
next phrase.

verify that the MEAS x parameter for each phrase is set to
a suitable number of measures. If the setting is
inappropriate, the rhythm song and phrase will not
synchronize properly.

contraction ratio exceeds a certain range (50 – 150%), the
indication "Out of Range" appears, and the results may
not be as expected.
