P-120/P-120S

The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a preset song. Combined 

with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases.

Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase ...........

Select and play a preset song, then press the [TEMPO/FUNC-

TION#] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat. 
This sets the “A” point (“A-” will appear on the display). 

To set the “A” point at the very beginning of the song, press the 

[TEMPO/FUNCTION#] button before starting playback.

Specify the End (B) of the Phrase......................

Press the [TEMPO/FUNCTION#] button a second time at the 

end of the phrase. This sets the “B” point (“A-b” will appear on 
the display). At this point repeat playback will begin between the 
specified A and B points.  The metronome will sound when play-
back begins to give you a tempo reference. However, if playback 
repeats from the beginning of the song, there will be no tempo 
reference from metronome.

To set the B point at the song’s end, press the [TEMPO/

FUNCTION#] button after song playback is complete and before 
“A- ” disappears from the display.

Stop Playback ......................................................

Press the SONG [START/STOP] button to stop playback 

while retaining the specified A and B points. A-B repeat playback 
will resume if the SONG [START/STOP] button is then pressed 
again.

To cancel the A and B points press the [TEMPO/FUNC-

TION#] button once.

• The A-B Repeat function cannot be used during “ ALL” or “ rnd”
