erased, just like a tape recorder. While RECORD mode is active, the light

above the RECORD key goes on.

It is also possible to "punch in" into record mode while playing. To do

this:

1. The top line of the PLAY/RECORD screen must display the

words "Play/Record (Record ready)". This means that the

sequence is ready to record. If the words "(Record ready)" do

not appear in the title, simply press and release the RECORD or

OVERDUB keys once while stopped.

2. While the sequence is playing, simultaneously press the

RECORD and PLAY keys. Record mode is now active,

indicated by the light above the RECORD key.

To "punch out" of RECORD mode, simply press the RECORD key

once, and the light above the RECORD key will turn off.

Note: If RECORD mode is entered while the sequence is set to loop to bar

1(or a portion of the sequence is looped with the EDIT LOOP function),

RECORD mode automatically switches to OVERDUB mode at the

moment the sequence reaches the end and starts to loop. This prevents

accidently erasing any data which was recorded on the previous pass

through the loop. If, however, RECORD mode is entered while the

sequence is set to loop to a bar higher than bar 1, RECORD mode will

automatically be turned off at the moment the sequence reaches the end

and starts to loop.

NOTE: If an empty sequence is selected (the sequence name says "unused"),

and either RECORD or OVERDUB is pressed, the sequence will instantly

be created using the settings in the CREATE SEQUENCE screen. This

function is normally accessed by pressing the EDIT key and selecting 2.

• The "«" key: This key causes the current position within the sequence to

rewind to the beginning of the nearest earlier bar.

• The "»" key: This key causes the current position within the sequence

to fast forward to the beginning of the nearest higher numbered bar.

• The "<" key This key normally causes the current position within the

sequence to rewind to the previous 1/16 note. However, the amount of

movement is set by the NOTE VALUE field in the TIMING CORRECT

screen, which is usually set to "1/16 NOTE". To change the amount of

movement, simply change the setting in this data field.
