You can switch the manner for starting playback immediately when
the REC/PLAY/OVERDUB pedal is operated while recording is in
progress.
Priority Given to Rhythm
(Factory Default)
This preserves the performance rhythm from the time that
recording started.
When you operate the pedal, the performance-start location is
adjusted and playback is started accordingly.
Although it may sometimes sound as if playback has started from
the middle of a phrase, from the following loop, playback takes
place as recorded.
Priority Given to Sound
This starts playback from the beginning of the recorded data.
Note, however, that for recordings synchronized with MIDI or
recorded phrases, playback starts with "Rhythm Priority."
