can edit and reuse the equation later.
• For a phrase loop that has already been written to a track/
V-take, it is not possible to write it again in part or to add
another phrase loop. In such a case, specify the entire
phrase again as an equation and write the entire phrase
again.
Writing a phrase loop to a track
This section explains how to create a phrase loop and write
it as audio data to a specified track/V-take.
1.
From the main screen, press the [UTILITY/TRACK
EDIT] key in the display section.
The utility menu appears on the display.

Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the
indication “UTILITY PHRASE” on the display, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes as follows.
3.
Press the [UTILITY/TRACK EDIT] key in the display
section.
The phrase utility menu appears on the display.
4.
Use the cursor left/right keys to bring up the
indication “PHRASE CREATE” on the display, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The display changes as follows. This screen lets you select a
track/V-take for writing the phrase loop.
5.
Use the cursor left/right keys and the dial to select
the track/V-take to which to write the phrase that
will be created.
When track 10 is selected, turning the dial further to the right
brings up the following screen.
When this screen is shown, turning the dial to the right
selects tracks in odd-numbered/even-numbered pairs (1/2, 3/

currently selected V-take for the two tracks or the master
track becomes the writing target.

• If the phrase is monaural and the write target track is
stereo, the same data will be written to both tracks.
• If the phrase is stereo and the write target track is mono,
the left and right channels of the phrase will be mixed
when the data are written to the track.
• When a V-take which already contains audio data is select-
ed, the existing data will be completely erased and over-
written by the new audio data.

When you have selected a track/V-take, press the
[ENTER] key.
A screen for selecting the phrase loop number appears.
