3.1F Using the Start/Stop Footswitch
When the SR-16 is stopped, pressing a footswitch plugged into the Start/Stop footswitch jack
is equivalent to pressing PLAY. When the SR-16 is running, pressing the footswitch is
equivalent to pressing STOP.
Background The rear panel Start/Stop footswitch jack accepts a momentary, normally open or normally closed
footswitch (available at most music stores) for remote or foot control of the stop and start functions. The SR-16
checks the footswitch on power-up to determine whether it is normally open or normally closed, so make sure the
footswitch is plugged in (and you're not pressing it down) when you turn on power.
3.1G Select New Patterns While in Perform (Playback) Mode
In Perform mode, you can select a new Pattern number (with the desired A or B designator) or
switch from A to B Patterns within a Pattern number at any time. The newly-selected Pattern
will play back as soon as the current Pattern plays through its entire length. The display
shows the Pattern to be played next.

To select a new Pattern in Perform mode, enter the two-digit Pattern number. If an A Pattern is
currently playing, the new Pattern number will play the A variation. If a B Pattern is currently
playing, the new Pattern number will play the B variation.
You can also enter a two-digit Pattern number followed by A or B or PRESET/USER to call up
an A or B or Preset or User Pattern, regardless of the Pattern that is currently playing. Fills are
a special case that will be discussed next.
Notes
• If you change your mind or select the wrong Pattern, you can select a new Pattern number at any time before the
next Pattern begins.
• If you press STOP before the next Pattern begins playing, the SR-16 will stop and remain on the currently
selected Pattern.
• Shortcut: To choose the next higher-numbered Pattern than the one in the display, press the INC button (if 49 is
the current Pattern, pressing INC calls up Pattern 00). To choose the next lower-numbered Pattern than the one in
the display, press the DEC button (if 00 is the current Pattern, pressing DEC calls up Pattern 49).
• If you select a new Pattern and press PLAY, it will immediately start playing the next Pattern.
