Repeat Commands; Part Copy - Yamaha RX7 Authorized Product Manual

REPEAT COMMANDS

FUNCTION
Enters Repeat commands in a Song for re-
petition of specified Parts.
Instead of entering the same Pattern numbers over and over
again in a Song, you can use Repeat commands. Specified
Parts or groups of Parts can be repeated up to 99 times, and
"nesting" (repetitions within repetitions) on up to ten levels
is also possible.
There are two Repeat commands, Begin Repeat and End
Repeat, which are input at the beginning and end of the Part(s)
to be repeated.
The number of repetitions can be specified within the End
Repeat command. Remember that this number is always
ONE LESS than the actual number of times you hear the
specified section (which = 1 playback + N repetitions).
ACTUAL-PLAYING SEQUENCE
* Input of the Repeat commands is often easiest when done
in combination with Insert, after having programmed the
Song without repetitions.
OPERATION
1. Select the Part of the Song from which you want repe-
tition to commence, and press SWING/REPEAT. The
display will ask you to select the Begin or End Repeat
command.
2. Press numeric key 1 to input a Begin Repeat command,
then continue editing (entering Parts) until your reach
the location for the End Repeat command.
3. Press SWING/REPEAT. The display will again ask you
to select the Begin or End Repeat command.
4. Press numeric key 2 to input an End Repeat command.

with the numeric keys and then continue editing.
