With the Hold Function, you can ensure that a long
sample or phrase is played back even if you release a
pad after pressing it.

pad whose setting you want to configure.
2.
Touch "Hold" to turn it on.
3.

This will cause the pad to behave as if you have kept it
depressed.
• While a pad for which "Hold" has been turned on is
playing back, tapping the pad again will stop
playback.
