How to use section repeat number?

amiga909

“the section will play for only that number of repeats before the "next" section launches.” (manual)
i understand what it does, how do you use the feature? my sections always are set to infinite repetitions.

pfrf

“hold down a "section" pad (far right) for half a second until the section's "repeat mode" begins to blink on the Deluge's text display. By default, it will be "INFI" - infinite repeats. By turning the select knob clockwise, any number of repeats may be set. Then, anytime that that section is launched, it will play for only that number of repeats before the "next" section launches.”

Is that helpful?

Before arranger view it could have been used as a rudimentary song mode (ie, play this section 2 times then this section 3 times without me having to switch them, etc.). I don't use it much though.

I need to be more careful to not waste my time.
