erations concerning data storage on cassette).

the SYNC mode (for determining the timing of the RX8)
and the MIDI mode (where you can set various MIDI

one instrument, with different pitches or accents.
TEMPO allows you to see the current tempo and alter it
with the +1/YES and -1/NO keys.
EFFECT, when pressed with an instrument key, sounds the
voice set up in Voice Assign with the effect added in
Voice Edit.
REVERSE, when pressed with an instrument key, reverses
the sound of the voice assigned in Voice Assign.
BEAT CLEAR is used when Realtime and Step writing
patterns to delete (clear) unwanted notes from patterns.
JOB is used together with the number key pad in the main
modes (PATTERN, SONG, CARD/CASS and MIDI) as
well as the sub-functions (MULTI, VOICE ASSIGN and
VOICE EDIT) to select jobs. Some jobs may also contain
"sub-jobs", and the JOB key may also be used to select
these.
