This allows you to repeatedly play a preset number of bars and keep dubbing sounds over it.

1. Turn the power on and load the drum sounds from the enclosed sound disk. (Refer to the

chapter “Loading and Playing Programs” for details on how to load the sounds.) When you
have finished, check to see if the drum sounds can be played back by playing the drum pads.

quence will always be done here.
