Sequencer
Record mode: Step Backing Sequence page
“Off” means that the accompaniment will not play at the
selected position – only Keyboard and Pad tracks will play.
Hint: Insert a Style Element Off event exactly where the automatic
accompaniment must stop (at the end of the Song).
Length
This parameter will let you know where to place the following
Style Element Change. For example, if you inserted an Intro
event lasting for 4 measures, you can insert 4 empty measure
after this event, and a Variation event at the end of the Intro,
beginning at the 4th empty measure.
Del (Delete) button
When a side arrow ( ) is shown next to a parameter, there is an
event at the current position. You can touch the Del button next
to it, to delete the event at the current position.
Hint: To delete all events starting from the current position, select
the “Delete All from Selected” command from the page menu (see
below).
“Soft” transport buttons
Previous or Next Event
Use these buttons to move to the previous or next recorded
event.
Previous or Next Step
Use these buttons to go to the previous or next step (1/8, or 192
ticks). If an event is located before the previous or next step, the
locator stops on that event. For example, if you are positioned on
M001.01.000, and no event exists before M001.01.192, the > but-
ton moves to the M001.01.192 location. If an event exists on
M001.01.010, the > button stops to the M001.01.010 location.
These commands are effective even if the Measure parameter is
not selected.
Previous or Next Measure
Use these buttons to move to the previous or following measure.
These commands are effective even if the Measure parameter is
not selected.
