Modifying Loop Phrase settings
When a loop phrase is created, the number of measures is set
automatically according to the length of the Loop Phrase
such that the BPM for these measures are as close to 120.0 as
possible. In addition, the start and end positions for playback
of the Loop Phrase are set to the start and end of the audio
data.
The following procedure can be used to modify any of these
settings.
1. Press CD-R/RW [LOOP PHRASE IMPORT].
The Loop Phrase Menu screen will appear.

Phrase and confirm that settings have been modified as
required.
Press [ENTER/YES] once again when you want to stop
playback.
