Using Song Parts
Stopping Playback and Ending a Song
To stop song playback:
1. During playback, press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or until the PLAY LED and KICK/SNARE
pads begin flashing).
2. Release the FOOTSWITCH as soon as the PLAY LED and KICK/SNARE pads begin flashing to stop playback
immediately. Or, continue to hold the FOOTSWITCH to finish the bar and then end the song with a crash
cymbal. Keep the FOOTSWITCH held to allow the crash cymbal to decay naturally.
Clearing a Song Part
To clear a song part:
1. Stop playback by pressing and holding the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or until the PLAY LED and KICK/
SNARE pads begin flashing).
2. Select the part to clear by pressing the VERSE, CHORUS, or BRIDGE button. The brightest LED indicates
the part selected.
3. Press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or until the currently selected PART button flashes red
rapidly), then release. The LEARN LED will begin flashing slowly, indicating the part is empty. Make sure to
release the FOOTSWITCH as soon as the current PART LED begins flashing, as holding the FOOTSWITCH
down for ~4 seconds will clear the entire song.
TIP: A part can be restored as long as the SDRUM has not been power cycled or any other operations
performed since the part was cleared.
To restore a part after clearing it, immediately press and hold the FOOTSWITCH for ~2 seconds (or until
the currently selected PART button flashes green rapidly), then release. The LEARN LED will go off and
the PLAY LED will light to indicate the part is again available.
TIP: If the SilentClear feature is enabled, song parts can be cleared without momentarily initiating
playback. See 'Enabling Count-In and SilentClear' on page 27 for more information.
NOTE: When a part is cleared, if the song still contains at least one learned song part, a metronome will
begin playing at the tempo of the last played song tempo, making it easy to match the tempo of all
song parts.
