Song mode
Song mode chains scenes into a song order of up to 96 slots — dialled in with shift and the black keys, edited with a cursor, and set to loop or not with E1.
Song mode turns scenes into a finished structure — intro, verse, chorus — each scene playing for its own length before the next. A cursor edits the list, and removing a scene from the song never deletes it. Whether loop off is the stop-at-end option of 1.0.45 is not confirmed on a unit, nor how the 32-slot grid shows an order longer than 32.

The song page is headed song 1 with a loop icon and shows a grid of 32 slots, eight across in four rows marked 1, 9, 17 and 25; scenes appear as numbered circles, a white line marks where the next scene goes, and a ring walks along the order during playback.
