Inputting Notes for Steps After Step 17 (PAGE)

You can switch between step numbers assigned to the [1]–[16] buttons (in other words, switch to a different "page" of steps).

the note.
1. Select the pattern to record (
2. Hold down the [COMMON] button and press the [EFFECTS] button to make the indicators light.

later). The page switches each time you press the [PAGE/TIE] button.
Page 1: Steps 1–16
Page 2: Steps 17–32
