Using Song Position Markers
Song Position markers (SP 1–SP 4) can be placed in the Song data. This not only lets you navigate quickly and easily
through the Song data, but also lets you set up convenient playback loops—allowing you to create dynamic Song
arrangements "on the fly," as you perform.
Entering Song Position Markers
1
Select a Song and start playing back (page 71).
2
When the Song reaches the point you wish to enter a marker,
double-click (press twice quickly) one of the [SP 1]–[SP 4] but-
tons during playback.
The corresponding button flashes in green, and the marker for that button is
entered to the 1st beat of the appropriate measure.
Continue to enter other markers in the same way.
3
Stop Song playback by pressing the [STOP] button.
4
Save the Song (page 69).
About the lamp status of the SP buttons
• Red: The Song Position has been passed and song playback continues to the
next Song Position.
• Green: Song Position is entered to the button.
• Off: Song Position is not entered to the button.
NOTE
Entering the marker to the lit button (red or green) will set the marker to a new song position.
Jumping to a Marker During Playback
Simply pressing the one of the [SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons during song playback jumps to the corresponding position, after the
current played measure reaches its end. (The button will flash in red, indicating that playback jump is ready.) You can
cancel the jump by pressing the same SP button again before the actual jump.
Starting Playback from a Specific Marker
First press the desired SP button (while Song playback is stopped), then press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button.

NOTE
You can also enter the marker when the
Song playback is paused at the desired
position, by double-clicking any of the
[SP 1]–[SP 4] buttons. The marker is
entered at the top of the current mea-
sure.
NOTICE
The entered marker settings will
be lost if you change to another
Song or you turn the power off
without executing the save opera-
tion.
