Stage Loop
Stage Loop is a special feature that allows you to repeat a specific section of your sequence. You can define the first stage of this section, the length (up to 16 stages) and the number of repetitions. Whenever the playhead crosses the Stage Loop section, it will start looping, then it will move on to the rest of the sequence! You can activate this function anytime by pushing twice the button.

Composition Mode
When USTA is not playing (and you are not in any of the menus), just push twice the track buttons: all the gate channels will immediately get high, and you will be able to hear the individual stages one by one. Use the navigation encoder to skim through the sequence, check if everything is all right, and carefully edit every parameter – you can take all the time you need!

USTA has two buttons whose primary function is to perform global tasks: ‘Set All’ applies the selected value to all the following stages, while ‘Shift All’ applies the same offset. They can be used to change colors, too!
