3.3.6. Restart Seq / Arp from beginning

It’s possible to repeat the first half of a sequence or arpeggio manually, or perhaps repeat

the first few notes several times, etc., as a spontaneous performance option.

To restart a sequence or an arpeggio pattern from its beginning, hold the Shift button and

press the Play/Pause button.

We will cover the Shift functions that are used during sequence creation in the next chapter.
