The Multi Pads

To ensure that your repeated
rhythmic phrases play back in a
perfect loop, be careful to stop
recording right on the very last
beat of the phrase, just before the
"one" of the next measure. If it is
difficult to get a good loop, you
may want to use the Step Record
functions on the EDIT page.
