Player Controls

Pa300 is equipped with a Standard MIDI File and MP3 Player. Its
controls can be used in Song Play and Sequencer mode.
<< and >>
Rewind and Fast Forward commands. If you use them while the
Song is in play, they make it scroll back or forward.
When pressed once, these buttons move the Song to the previous
or following measure (with a Standard MIDI File) or to the previ-
ous or next second (with an MP3 file). When kept pressed, they
make the Song scrolling continuously until released.
In Sequencer mode, if you set a "Start from" measure other than
1, when pressing the << button the Song will rewind up to that
measure instead of the first one (see page 124).
In Jukebox mode, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and
press these buttons to scroll to the previous or next Song in the
Jukebox list.
(HOME)
Sends the Song Position back to measure 1 (i.e., the beginning of
the Song).
In Sequencer mode, if you set a "Start from" measure other than
1, the Song Position will go back to that measure (see page 124).
(START/STOP)
Starts the Song from the current Song Position, or stops it at the
current Song Position.
