Specifying the Area of a Song that
will Repeat (Loop Points)
When using Loop Play or Loop Recording, you can use the loop
points you specify here to specify the repeated area, as an alternative
to repeating the specified number of measures.
If the song time signature is different than the pattern time
signature (pattern beat), the loop points will be displayed
differently in the song and pattern.
1. Load the song for which you want to set loop points (p. 136).
2. Access the Song Setup window (p. 137).
3. Use or to select “Loop,” and then press [8 (Select)].
The Loop window appears.

If you press [7 (Set)], the current location of the song will be set

specify here will not be included in the repeated area.

as the ending location.
