To quit the Rhythm Sequence Program: Press the [SEQUENCE] button on the panel. The Voice Display appears, indicating that the Rhythm Sequence Program is closed. NOTICE When quitting the Rhythm Sequence Program, the square at the top left of the display turns light blue for a few seconds, indicating that the sequence is currently being saved. Do not turn the power off while the sequence is being saved. Playing Rhythm Sequences To play any of the Rhythm Sequences you have created: 1 Press the appropriate Sequence button ([SEQ. 1] - [SEQ. 4]) on the panel. The SEQ button's lamp lights.

Playing all sequences in order You can also have up to all four Rhythm Sequences automatically play in order, one after another. 1 Press the desired Sequence buttons, making sure that all their LEDs are lit. 2 Press the rhythm [START] button. The Rhythm Sequences start from the lowest number and play in order automatically to the highest number. (For example, if you press Sequence buttons 4, 2 and 1 in that order, the sequences will be played back not in the order you pressed them, but in their numeric order: 1, 2, then 4.) This function effectively allows you to make a long Rhythm Sequence that exceeds the 140-pattern memory limit of a single sequence. Pressing one of the SEQ. buttons while a Rhythm Sequence is playing back automatically cancels the pressed sequence, and its LED turns off. You cannot cancel a sequence that is currently playing. The SEQ. lamp goes out when the sequence assigned to it is finished playing.
