SONG MODE

• Loops can be nested.
• A set of infinite loops can be very useful in a live setting. With a set of infinite
loops, the song transport functions can be used to jump between the looping pat-
terns.
SONG JUMP
A loop can also be converted into a jump. A jump will refer to the song pointer position to
the row that you select. Insert a jump by turning the SOUND SELECTION wheel so that the
number of the second loop row becomes a number that is greater than the current row
number. The jump command will appear and no loop count column will be available. Use
the [RIGHT] arrow key to move the focus to the column where you insert which song row
you want the song position pointer to jump to.
SONG HALT
If you set the loop to loop to the current row it will change to a HALT statement. When the
song pointer reaches a HALT statement it will pause the playback. You then need to use
the song transport controls as described on page 54 to select a new position to start from.
SONG MUTE
In songs, you can mute individual tracks for each row. The mute pattern for each row is
accessed by moving the cursor to the MUT column and then pressing [ENTER/
YES].Tracks muted using song mute can not be unmuted using pattern mute.
This takes you to the familiar MUTE window as seen below.
