When the sample playback mode is set to one-shot playback, the sample plays back once to the end when you press a pad.

The pad’s operations are disabled (ignored) until playback is finished.

Even if a phrase that’s shorter than the sample length is recorded in a pattern, the sample plays back to the end without returning to the beginning (no retriggering).

This characteristic is useful for playing a long sample as a backing track.


  1. Hold down the [VALUE] knob and press the [GATE] button.

    This sets the sample playback mode to “one-shot playback”.

    The [GATE] button blinks slowly at this time.

    The loop function turns off (and the [LOOP] button goes dark) when one-shot playback is on.
