8. Next, press the RIFF2 soft button at the bottom of the display to move to the RIFF2 page once

again. On the RIFF2 page, We can see that the bass riff on zone 2 is set to sync with the first riff,

arpeggiator, or song available, because the SyncZone parameter is set to First Avail. The riff waits

to trigger until the next down beat of whatever it is syncing with because the SyncType parameter

is set to DownBeat (see below.) This is why the riff waits for a downbeat before transposing and

restarting its loop when triggered.
