Is there a way to set a pattern to always start at the beginning rather than start where you stopped it? |

The default is to start at the point the Section or Chain was previously stopped. If you want the Section or Chain to restart at the beginning, after pressing [ ■ ](Stop), press [ â–â—„Â ](Top) before pressing [ ► ](Play). |

That’s what I do now. I was hoping for a setting to start from the beginning every time you stop so it would be easier to do breaks with a looped drum beat. |

I’m not aware of any setting to accomplish what you’re looking for. I use my left hand to operate the sequencer transport buttons, and I presume you do (or could) as well. I find that the [ â– ](Stop) and [ â–â—„ ](Top) buttons can be pressed simultaneously (thumb on Stop and forefinger on Top). That makes it a single operation, which might be sufficient for your needs. |

Thanks for the work around. I also wish it had a controller for a foot button for start stop. Ah live performance! |

You’re welcome.

A momentary foot switch can be used for Song/Pattern start/stop. The setting is made per Mixing. See Controller Settings - [F3] Ctrl Asgn (Controller Assign) on pages 234 and 147 of the XS Owner’s Manual. (3) Foot Switch Control No. should be set to “097 Start/Stop” for each Song or Pattern desired. The switch should be connected to the ASSIGNABLE FOOT SWITCH jack. However, it will act like the panel Stop and Play switches - that is, restart will begin at the place you stopped. |
