When it powers on, does the ER-101 begin 'paused' or playing sequence?

It’s a noob question: assuming there is a saved sequence in the ER-101, when it powers on, is the default behavior ‘paused’ (and must be unpaused to begin), or does it immediately begin playback? Thank you.

The ER-101 boots up paused.

Is there any way to change this behavior easily?
