Loop setting

When you enable the loop feature, the selected song will 'loop' and play repeatedly .

When playback is stopped, press the [3] (LOOP) button to turn the loop function on / 

off

When song looping is enabled, a loop icon is displayed .

Markers

For each song you can set up to 9 markers at any 

position in the song . During playback you can jump to a 

specific marker or the start of the song . 

Using markers is a great way to focus your play-along 

practice on selected sections of a song .

Adding Markers

Start song playback.

Press the [5] (MARKER) button and use the value knob to select "ADD".

Press the [ENTER] button at a time position in the song where you want to add a marker.

When you add a marker the song timeline display indicates the marker number and its position . 

Adding markers at different time positions will automatically change the marker numbers so they 

are always sequentially ordered .

Jump to Marker

To jump to a marker position in the song during playback, select the marker number and 

press the [ENTER] button. To jump to the start of the song, select "TOP" and press [ENTER].

Clear Marker

When playback is stopped, press the  [5] (CLEAR MARKER) button.

A screen will display prompting you to select a marker to clear. Use the value knob to select 

the numbered marker or "ALL" to select all markers. To clear the selected marker(s), press 

the [5] (CLEAR) button. Press the [2] (CANCEL) button to return to the song screen without 

clearing markers.

*Settings for volume, loop, and markers are stored for each song .

*In the song screen you can not change the tempo of the song . A song's tempo may be adjusted 

in the HOME screen .
