 Memory Settings (LOOP)

Parameter Value (Bold: default) Explanation

You can specify the number of measures for each track. When recording along with rhythm sounds or other tracks, it’s
convenient to specify the number of measures before you record, so that looping will occur at the specified measure
length, even if you don’t operate the switch when you’ve finished recording.
* This parameter is available only if LOOP SYNC is “ON.”
Track 1: One measure

Track 2: Four measures

Tracks that are set to AUTO will have the same number of measures. The number of measures
MEASURE
is determined by the first-recorded track of the tracks that are set to AUTO.
AUTO For example, if all tracks are set to AUTO, the value set as the number of measures for the
second and subsequent tracks will be identical to the number of measures in the first track
that was recorded.
The number of measures will be set automatically, corresponding to the length of the
FREE
recording.
The number of measures will be set manually.
˜–1–
If you select a note, you can make the length shorter than a single measure.
Specifies whether the beginning of the track 1–5 phrases are aligned for loop playback (ON),
or whether they loop-play at the length of their respective phrases (OFF).
Retriggers at the beginning of the Playback will repeat at the length
first-recorded phrase. of the phrase.

ON: Track 1

Track 2

OFF: Track 1

Track 2

Playback starting location

LOOP SYNC OFF, ON If you turn LOOP SYNC on, the beginning of the tracks will always be aligned. This means that
if tracks are already playing back, the playback start location of the other tracks will become
“the current location of the phrase being played.” The following illustration is an example of
how playback will occur with track 1–5 that contain the identical melody but have different
loop sync settings.
Playback starts midway through the phrase (from the current location).

ON: Track 1

Track 2

OFF: Track 1

Track 2

Playback always starts at the beginning of the phrase.

Specifies whether each track plays at its original tempo (the tempo during recording) or at the tempo that is
specified in memory.
SW
OFF The track will play at its own original tempo.
ON The track will play at the memory tempo. Tracks 1–5 play at the same tempo.
When TEMPO SYNC SW is “ON,” this sets whether to change the pitch according to the tempo, or to instead
make the pitch stay the same.
MODE
PITCH The pitch changes according to the tempo.
TEMPO SYNC
XFADE Adjusts the playback speed to match the tempo without changing the pitch.
Sets the playback speed for each track.
* You can change the timing at which the playback speed is switched from the LOOP/PLAY “SPEED CHANGE”
(p. 5) setting.

DOUBLE Plays back at twice the speed of the original tempo.
Sets whether to allow the playback sound from a different track as well to be recorded (ON) or
BOUNCE IN OFF, ON
not (OFF) during recording or overdubbing.
