Explanation
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
the [STOP] button is pressed.
Loop is useful for practicing and live
performance.
Playback stops once the end of the
pattern is reached.
This is a convenient feature to use
when assigning patterns to the pads
(Pad Pattern, p. 60). Each time you
hit the pad to which the pattern is
assigned, it will automatically start
from the beginning of the pattern.
When set to pad pattern (p. 60), the
sounds are played back in sequence
each time the pad is pressed. (You
can use the [PLAY] button instead
of a pad.)
For example if you specify "TAP" for a
pattern which contains a melody line
and assign this pattern to a pad, you
can play the notes of the melody in
order each time you strike the pad.
You can set the "Tap Reset Time" so
that the pattern will automatically
return to the beginning if that time
interval elapses without that pad
being hit again. You can play a bass
line with your kick drum, too.

(p. 99) to record patterns used for
TAP playback, make the Quantize

the [PLAY] button.
This function automatically returns
to the beginning of the pattern if
that pattern has not been played
for a certain length of time during
Tap Play.
When the time specified here has
elapsed after the pattern was played
most recently, the pattern will return
to its beginning the next time you
play it. If it is set to "OFF, " this function
