Loop one scene
Play runs the song, scene after scene. To hear one scene over and over, pick it — in arrange, and its black key, before play or while playing — and it repeats; or empty the song order in song mode so play keeps to the current scene.
The OP-XY treats play as "play the song": a new project's song holds scene 1, and a project with a longer song walks through it from the top on every play. Picking a scene while it plays is the quick way to stay somewhere, handy while jamming on one section. Clearing the song order keeps play on one scene for good, until scenes are keyed back into song mode.

Play runs the current song from its first scene even outside song mode, and after a stop it starts from the first scene again.

While the song plays, and a black key in arrange switch to that scene at once, mid-bar, and from then on the unit repeats it; the song stops moving on.

Picked while stopped ( and its black key, in arrange), a scene is what play starts with instead of the song's first scene, and it repeats — twenty bars of scene 7 on the owner's unit, where the song would have moved on to scene 6.

and the black keys choose scenes only in arrange mode.
- TE’s guide
in song mode empties the song order without deleting any scene, taking every scene out of the song's playback.
- worked out
With the song order empty, play has no song to run, so the scene on screen keeps playing.
