This shows the number of measures in the song for the
currently selected step.
Step, Song, Repeat, Load FX?
Step [Measure]
This displays the step number and its starting measure.
Step indicates each step number. The Step indicated by the
symbol is the currently-selected or currently-playing step.
This can be directly selected by Song (Seq 11–1b) or Current
Step (Seq 11–1c). When stopped, pressing the SEQUENCER
START/STOP switch will cause playback to begin from this
step.
Measure indicates the starting measure of each step. This
cannot be edited.
Song (Cue Edit-Song)
[S000...S127: name/End, Continue to Step01]
S000...S127: Specifies a song for each step. This cannot be
edited during playback.
End and Continue to Step01 can be specified only for the
last step of the cue list.
End: Playback will stop at the last step of the cue list.
Continue to Step01: At the last step of the cue list, playback
will return to Step 01 and the cue list will continue playing
endlessly. To stop, press the SEQUENCER START/STOP
switch.
Repeat
Specifies the number of times that the song of this step will
be repeated.
FS: A foot switch connected to the rear panel can be used to
specify the point at which the song will stop repeating.
When you press the foot switch, that repetition of the song
will finish playing, and then playback will continue to the
next step. Set Foot Switch Assign (Global 2–1a) to Cue
Repeat Control.
Load FX? (Cue Edit-Load Fx)
Specifies whether the effects specified by the song assigned
to each step will be used.
On (checked): The effect settings of the song specified for
the current step will be used. When playback moves to the
next step, the effect settings will also change.
Off (unchecked): The effect settings will not change.
Depending on the effect settings, a certain amount of
time may be required to switch effects. In this case,
playback will not be smooth from song to song.
If you want to transition smoothly from song to song
inside of a cue list, check Load FX? in Step 01. For the
remaining steps, do not check Load FX?
With these settings, the effects will be set before
playback begins, so there will be no time lag to
interrupt the smooth transition between songs.
Although it is not possible to change the effect types in
the middle of a cue list, you can use the dynamic
modulation function or MIDI control changes (effect
control) to apply reverb more deeply to certain songs,
or raise the LFO speed for other songs, etc.
When using a cue list to construct a song, we
recommend this method. When you execute the
Convert to Song menu command, the effect settings of
the Step 01 song will be specified at the beginning of
the song that is created by the conversion.

Even when Load FX? is not checked, there may be a
time lag in the transition from one song to the next,
depending on the musical data in the song. There may
also be cases in which the musical data at the transition
between songs does not play at the correct timing. To
fix this, you can edit the musical data of the song, or
convert the cue list to a single song. If you use Convert
to Song to convert the cue list to a song, there will be no
time lag at the transition, and the musical data will play
at the correct timing.
11–1c: Insert, Cut, Copy, Current Step
Insert
When you press the Insert button, the step data that was
temporarily saved in the buffer by the Copy button or Cut
button will be inserted at the Current Step. (If copy or cut
has not been executed, default data will be inserted.)
Cut
When you press the Cut button, the Current Step will be
cut, and its data will be saved temporarily in the buffer. If
you Insert immediately after you cut, the data will return
the state in which it was before you cut.
Copy
When you press the Copy button, the data of the Current
Step will be saved temporarily in the buffer.
Press the Insert button to insert the copied step into the
Current Step.
Current Step
Selects the step that will be inserted, cut or copied.
If you wish to playback from a step in the middle of the cue
list, select the desired step here, and press the SEQUENCER
START/STOP switch.
