that pad will be triggered repeatedly. The interval of the repetitions can be adjusted in a range from an

Control section
In this section you can perform basic sequencer operations such as locate/playback/record, and change the
setting of various fields that are shown in the display.
A [TIMING CORRECT] key: This key is an on/off switch for the Timing Correct function, which corrects
the timing of the note data that is being recorded in the sequencer. Timing Correct is enabled if the LED
is lit, and the note data will be recorded at timing intervals of the currently selected note value.
B [MASTER TEMPO] key: This key selects the tempo source used for sequencer playback. If the LED is lit,
all sequences will play at a common tempo. If the LED is dark, each sequence will play at its own tempo.
C [UNDO SEQ] key: This key is used to cause events recorded in the sequencer to revert to their previous
condition (the Undo function). The LED will light if Undo is available.
