Choosing a Playback Method
(LOOP, ONE SHOT, or TAP)
You can select from the following three methods for playing
back patterns.
LOOP ( ):
After the pattern is played back all the way to the end,
playback then repeats, starting at the beginning of the
pattern. Playback continues until [PLAY/STOP] is
pressed.
1SHOT (ONE SHOT) (
Playback stops once the end of the pattern is reached.
TAP ( ):
Each time [PLAY/STOP] is pressed, the sounds
contained in a pattern are played back one at a time in
sequence.
When set to Pad Pattern (p. 139), the sounds are played
back in sequence each time the pad is pressed.
When choosing the empty pattern, you cannot set "PLAY
TYPE" to "TAP."
