Toraiz SP-16 sequencer not playing more than first beat

you probably have SYNC SOURCE SELECT set to something other than INTERNAL. go into UTILITY > SETTINGS and assign SYNC SOURCE SELECT to "INTERNAL", and you'll be good.* (full info below)

* if you DO NOT have SYNC SOURCE SELECT as an option but you DO see "MIDI I/F SELECT", then you should save your Project and update your SP-16 firmware to the latest firmware (v1.60): https://support.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405128836121-TORAIZ-SP-16-Firmware

You're a gentleman and a scholar!!  Thanks!
