When the [ REC ] button and [ STEP ] button are lit, changing the step with the step pads [ 1 ] - [ 16 ] plays a preview.
When "St.(number)" is displayed, changing the step with the [ TEMPO/VALUE ] knob plays a preview.
When "St.(number)" is displayed, turning the knob while waiting for CLEAR MOTION will delete only the motion parameter within the selected step.
On the pattern selection screen, you can use the black keys on the keyboard pad to check the sound.
The ENV TRG setting is effective for the arpeggiator.
When the [ HOLD ] button is lit, the arpeggiator will start a new arpeggio each time you enter a chord.
