Once you recorded or loaded a Song (a Pattern Set that contains Song data), simply enable the Song Mode and Press play.
During Song Playback, you always see where you are (which Pattern is currently playing) and where you go next (which Pattern Change is pending). The pending Change is indicated with a yellow, blue or green border, depending on the Pattern Change Type (see Chapter: Advanced Pattern Changes).
If you do manual Pattern Changes in Song Mode while a Song is playing, but not recording, then the Song stays at its current playback position and the playback turns live, as long you do manual Pattern Changes. The Song continues automatically, when you stop doing Pattern Changes.
In other words, you can have a predefined Song structure, and you can do live Pattern changes at any position you like, within that structure.
If you want to record these live interactions, just hit the record button and the recorded Pattern changes will be inserted at the current Song position.
While playing a song, you can leave the Song Mode at any time you want. Simply press the Song Mode button to switch to Live Mode. If you enable the Song Mode again, then the Song continues automatically at its previous playback position.
