Performing with the Loop Mix Function

Loop mix is a function that lets you play patterns (accompaniment tones or drum tones) by pressing notes on the keyboard.
Patterns for each tone part are assigned to #ve areas of the keyboard. These

ve areas are collectively called a “loop mix set.”

One pattern can be played in each area; patterns are two measures long, and play back repeatedly (as a loop).
In every loop mix set, a drum pattern is assigned to area 1 and a bass pattern is assigned to area 2.
This instrument lets you enjoy performing with loop mix sets that cover a wide variety of musical genres.

• The song function and the loop mix function can’t be used at the same time.

MEMO

• You can change the tempo of the pattern (p. 8).
• Only in area 5, you can play patterns with multiple tone parameters. You can also press multiple keys at the same time to play them simultaneously.
• For details on the loop mix sets and patterns, refer to “Loop Mix Set List” at the end of this manual.
  Here we explain the procedure for performing a bass tone while sounding a drum tone.
