Step Backing Sequence procedure
Here is the general Step Backing Sequence recording procedure.
Hint: Before entering Step Backing Sequence mode to edit an exist-
ing Song, select the “Save Song” command from the page menu,
and save the Song to a storage device. This way, you will have a
copy of the Song, in case you don’t like the results of your editing.
1. While in Sequencer mode, press the RECORD button, and
choose the “Step Backing Sequence” recording option.
2. Select the Measure parameter, and go to the desired posi-
tion in the Song, by using the VALUE DIAL. Alternatively,
you can move the locator using the “soft” transport buttons
in the display. See ““Soft” transport buttons” on page 134.
3. Select the parameter type (Style, Performance, Tempo…) to
insert, edit or delete at the current position. If an arrow ( )
appears next to a parameter, the shown event has been
inserted at the current position.
4. Use the VALUE DIAL to modify the selected event. Delete
it by touching the Del button next to the event. When edit-
ing a parameter without the arrow ( ) next to it, a new
event is inserted at the current position.
5. Exit the Step Backing Sequence recording mode, by touch-
ing the Done button in the display.
6. Press (START/STOP) in the PLAYER section to lis-
ten to the result of your editing. If it is fine, save the Song to
a storage device.
