rent pattern or song back to the beginning. Dur-
ing playback, you can hold down the shift key and
press this key to erase data from the current part.

movements. During playback or recording, you

ter-note intervals of the desired tempo.

Selecting this key will send the sound from the au-
dio in jack directly to the line output jacks and
headphone jacks unchanged.
This key will have no effect for a synth part whose
oscillator type is set to “AUDIO IN + COMB,” since
turning this key on would simply “thru” the audio
input signal unaffected.

If this key is on, the tempo will stay at its current
value, even when you switch patterns.
3. AUTO BPM SCAN key
If this key is on, the tempo will be detected from

key, you can rename a pattern or song.

lect a parameter.
