A set of patterns that are connected in the order of
playback is called a Òsong.Ó
When you play back a song, the patterns will change
automatically in sequence, so it will not be necessary
for you to select patterns yourself. You can register up
to 50 patterns in each song, in the order in which they
are to be played back.

Cautions for song playback
Songs do not actually contain the musical data of the
patterns; they contain only the order in which the pat-
terns are to be played back. This means that if you
modify a pattern that has been registered in a song,
the playback of the song will also be affected. If you
delete all of the musical data of the pattern, playback
will stop at the moment that that pattern is selected.
If a song uses patterns that are saved in a memory
card, song playback will stop if the memory card is
not inserted into the memory card slot. Be sure that
the memory card is inserted into the memory card
slot.
