SONG PLAY
To start replaying a song, make sure that you are in song mode, and that a
song is presently loaded or created. Start the playback of the song by press-
ing [PLAY]. Pressing [PLAY] again pauses the playback. To stop the play-
back, press [STOP].
At any time you may switch back and forth between the song and the pat-
tern mode by pressing the [PATTERN/SONG] key. The song pointer will be
held until [STOP] is pressed. This way you can hold the song replaying,
looping a pattern in pattern mode, until returning to song mode, continuing
replaying the song at the position you left it.
SONG TRANSPORT
The [UP] and [DOWN] keys can be used for moving two song pointer posi-
tion indicators at the left and right of the new song list. Press [ENTER/YES]
to move the song pointer to the position of the arrows.
When playing the song the arrows flashes and alternate between flashing
toward the row and in the direction of the current song position. When song
rows are repeated the number of repeats left to perform is flashing to the
right of the current pattern index.
In song mode [STOP] stops the playback, but holds the song pointer posi-
tion. A second [STOP] moves the song pointer position to the beginning of
the song.
• The song is played to its end and then it stops. Of course, infinite
loops can make songs to never end.
• If the song has tempo adjustments programmed the current global
tempo will be changed.
• Monomachine sends and recognises MIDI Song Pointer Position.
This means that you can control the position in the song list from an
external sequencer, and you can control an external sequencer from
the Monomachine.
