Parameters
Play Type: Loop, One Shot, Tap
Ways to use this function
Loop: Loop is useful for practicing and live perfor-
mance.
One Shot: One Shot is also a great live performance fea-
ture.
With Loop and One Shot-each time you hit the
pad to which the pattern is assigned, it will
automatically start from the beginning of the
pattern. It’s a good idea to actually try this out
to see for yourself.
You can use an empty pattern assigned to a pad
to function as a “stop” switch for a pattern trig-
gered from another pad.
* QuickPlay is a supplementary function for Loop and One Shot.
QuickPlay starts playback of the pattern from the first note (first
event) even if when you recorded the pattern, you left a pause at
the beginning. For example if you had just played/recorded
freely,ignoring the tempo clock.
