ADDING REPEATS, MUTES AND TRANSPOSE INFORMATION
Various extra information can be entered for song rows and pattern or patterns assigned to the song rows.

Repeat a song row with a chosen factor by moving to the leftmost position of the song row. Turn DATA ENTRY
knob A to select how many times the song row will be repeated.

Add song mutes to a pattern by highlighting it and pressing [FUNCTION] + [TRACK]. The mute graphics to the
right in the LCD screen shows which tracks have been muted. Tracks muted from a song are also indicated by
half-bright <TRACK> LEDs. Unlike track mutes, song mutes are pattern specific. Different patterns can have dif-
ferent song muted tracks. When not in SONG EDIT menu and song muted tracks are manually muted by press-
ing [FUNCTION] + [TRACK], the <TRACK> LEDs will become unlit, i.e. track muted. The track mute method is
covered on page 29. Adding song mutes when not in the SONG EDIT menu can also be achieved by pressing
[SONG MODE] + [TRACK] or [CHAIN MODE] + [TRACK].

Transpose a pattern by highlighting it with the song cursor and pressing [TRANSPOSE] + a KEYBOARD key. A
song transpose works like a track transpose, albeit automated. The track transpose functionality is covered on
page 41.
