will actually be recorded. This lets you overdub without
losing the beginning of the chorus or guitar phrase.

GLOBAL> PREF page as the default setting.
Loop playback
There’s a loop playback function
that lets you repeatedly
play a specified region (A–B) of an audio song.
Note: The loop play on/off setting and the specified time are
saved individually for each audio song.
This setting will be saved to the SD card when you
switch to a different audio song or when you turn off the
power. If you remove the SD card immediately after
select the setting, the setting will not be saved.
Using loop play
If you add a check mark to LOOP to turn it on, the playback
will loop.
To specify the loop region, set the point where looping will
start (point A) and end (point B).
Note: The interval between points A and B will be at least
three seconds.
It’s not possible to record while LOOP
has a check
mark. Nor is it possible to add a check mark to LOOP
during recording.
Setting the current time location as a point
There’s a convenient function that lets you directly specify
the current time location as one of the points. Move the cursor
to A or B, and press the ENTER button during playback; the
current time location will be specified as a point.
Note: If you use this method to specify the time location of a
point, the location will be specified with an accuracy of
within one second.
