SEQUENCER OPERATIONS
TRANSPOSING A SONG STEP
The pattern for each song step can be transposed up or down 36 half-steps in pitch from the notes
originally programmed into that pattern.
To transpose a song step, select the song step and then press the Xpose/Paste key. While holding the
Xpose/Paste key, the display will show the current transpose setting for that step’s pattern. Use the
Up/Down keys to change the transpose setting for that song step. Release the Xpose/Paste key when
you are done and the sequencer will automatically save your changes.
To reset the transposition to a value of 0 for all the song steps, press and hold the Shift/Clear key,
then press the Xpose/Paste key. This will allow all of the patterns in the song to play at their original
programmed pitches.
SETTING THE LOOP POINT FOR A SONG
A loop point is recorded into a song step to indicate this will be the last step played before the
sequencer goes back to the beginning of the song and starts playing it again. If you want to find what
song step is set to loop, you can use the Up/Down keys to step through the song and see which step is
set to loop. This is indicated by the Loop key indicator being on for that step of the song.
To set a loop point for a step, use the Up/Down keys to first select that step and the press the Loop
key. In the same way, if you wish to remove a loop point from a song step, simply press the Loop key
to remove the loop point. You may also clear all of the loop points from a song by pressing and
holding the Shift/Clear key, and then pressing the Loop key. This will be most useful when creating
new songs rather than finding the existing loop points one at a time and clearing them out.
All changes you make to the loop point settings are automatically saved by the sequencer.
SETTING A SONG’S TEMPO
Each song records the tempo it will play back at. Select the song you wish to change the tempo of,
and then press the Swing/Tempo key. As you hold the Swing/Tempo key the display will show the
current tempo setting. Using the Up/Down keys you can change the song’s tempo from 20 to 250
beats per minute B.P.M.. Once the tempo is correct, release the Swing/ Tempo key and the sequencer
will automatically save your changes.
