Repeat Button

_ _ _ _
Using the Repeat button,
even in play mode, causes the
current pattern to be dirtied
(asterisk showing). Although
nothing is actually recorded in
the current pattern, this could
cause an unsaved pattern to be
wiped out.
When this button is latched on (LED illuminated) while recording a
pattern, any note played on the keyboard will remove that note from the
pattern as long as the keyboard key is held down. This allows you to
quickly removed any "flubbed" notes without having to enter Pattern Edit
mode.
In Grid record mode, pressing the Erase button while the cursor is on one of
the grid locations, removes the note from that location.
In Song step record mode, pressing the Erase button erases the currently
selected step from the song.
When this button is latched on (LED illuminated) while recording or
playing back a pattern, played notes will repeat at the current pattern
quantize setting (page 57). You can get some great effects with this feature
by simultaneously changing the volume or pitch as the sound repeats.
In Song step edit mode, the Repeat button functions as a "Pattern Insert"
button. See page 107 for more information.
