It is extremely useful when you want to play along with drums as opposed to just the click of the metronome. The SONG LOOP function is here as a 'workingtool' and you will probably finalize a complete drum track before completing the SONG. The drummer will loop forever paying no attention to the song form. This looped drum groove is taking the place of the metronome and is by no stretch of the imagination useful as your finished drum track (no more than letting a metronome tick away during your song would be). The reason is it will not do anything but repeat – it has no instructions other than that. This is designed simply and specifically for working out ideas. The loop can be set to start at measure 001 and continue though any particular point in the composition.

Later, as you will learn, you can construct your Drum Track using the full power of the MOXF's sequencer. It is designed as a working tool - if you prefer to work out your ideas linearly, this can be very useful and will certainly provide more inspiration than the click-click-click of the metronome. There is a loop icon – when showing this will indicate that the track is set to cycle.

See page 99 of the Reference Manual for details. Here you can set any track to loop from measure 001 to any measure (over and over). Later you can go back and construct a more complete drum track adding fill-ins and variations.įrom the main Song screen press the TRACK and then TR LOOP (TRACK LOOP). Therefore you may want to temporarily assign a drum groove to cycle while you are recording "linearly" in SONG mode. This is particularly true on the MO-XF with its very adjustable library of arpeggio pattern Types – there are over 2300 drum grooves, all adjustable as to "feel" and "attitude". Often a drum groove can give a better "feel" for what you want to accomplish. Recording a basic drum loop in the SONG mode You can also use the innovative PATTERN mode (the looping mode). This feature is extremely useful when you are writing a composition in Song mode and wish to play along to a basic drum groove, rather than just simply playing with a metronome. The MO-XF has a new feature that allows you to set a phrase to loop in SONG mode. However, if you'd like you can take a drum phrase you have recorded and set it to loop while you are working in SONG mode (the linear mode). But it is also possible to record your own original drum tracks. PATTERN mode is the looping mode and is ideal for drum part construction. In the MO-XF you can use the 2300 drum type arpeggios to build your tracks. This article deals with using Drums in SONG and PATTERN modes.
