A-B Repeat

This useful function is ideal for practicing and learning purposes.  It allows you to 

specify any phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat it — while 

you play or practice along with it.

1

While playing back a song, set point A (the start point).

Select and play back the desired song.  (See page 29.)  Then, while the song 

is playing back, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once at the start point of the 

phrase to be repeated. 

2

Set point B (the end point).

Press the [A-B REPEAT] button once again, at the ending point of the phrase 

to be repeated.  The selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped.

3

Pause or stop playback as needed.

Use the [

PAUSE] and [START/STOP] buttons.  Stopping playback does 

not cancel the set A/B points or the A-B Repeat function.

4

Turn off the A-B Repeat function.

Press the [A-B REPEAT] button.  This can be done either when the song is 

stopped or during playback.

•  You can also set the A-B Repeat 

function while the song is 

stopped.  Simply use the 

[

REW]/[

FF] buttons to 

select the measures for the A 

and B points in the song, then 

start playback.

•  While the song is playing back 

(but before setting the A/B 

points), try slowing down the 

Tempo (page 31).  This makes it 

easier to accurately set the A and 

B points.  Slowing down the 

Tempo also makes it easier to 

practice the parts you want to 

learn.

•  To set the A point at the begin-

ning of a song, press the [A-B 

REPEAT] button before starting 

song playback.

•  Selecting a different song num-

ber (or changing to the Style 

mode) automatically cancels the 

A-B Repeat function.
