12. Song Mode
This is an auto performance mode in which the patterns in the project are played in a pre-determined order. Each project has one song, and a song consists of up to 16 scenes (phrases that are a combination of patterns from all tracks).
In OS V1.10, a scene mode has been added. In scene mode, a single scene can be constantly played back in a loop while switching scenes at any given time.

To cancel loop playback, press the Drum key or select another scene.
