Song mode
The
sD1500
sound module comes with built-in songs, which split between Preset (Internal)
and User (internal and card memory) Songs.
The Song functions are controlled by a MIDI sequencer, which organizes music into seven
parts. The Drum Kit part is used to record/playback what is played on the pads. Additionally,
Percussion part, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 are the 6 backing instrument parts
(backing parts). The collective performance of these 7 parts is called a song.

more advanced functions for Song Mode.
There are 5 different Song categories, Pattern Loop, Percussion Loop, Hit, Tap, Kit Pattern and
User Songs. See the appendix section for the listing of Song/Pattern loops that can be played.
