Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

Set the loop (repeated performance) of the sequence.

To repeatedly play the specified range until STOP is pressed, turn the
loop ON and play the sequence.  When the loop function is on, after
the last bar has been recorded, the REC mode automatically changes
to OVERDUB mode allowing you to play a sequence in a loop while
over-dubbing.

To set the loop ON or OFF, select the Loop: field with the CURSOR
key and rotate the DATA wheel.

To set the range of the loop, press the OPEN WINDOW key.

• First bar:

Specify the first bar of the loop.

• Last bar:

Specify the last bar of the loop.  In this field, in addition to setting
the bar number of a sequence, you can set the END.  When END is
set, the last bar of the sequence is simply set as the Last bar: even if
you change the number of bars in a sequence in the Bars: field.

• Number of bars:

This sets the range of the loop in number of bars.  The number of
bars to loop will be from the bar set in Fist bar: to the bar set
here.
