Setting the playback order of MIDI/audio files (Chain)
From the Sequence Play display, you can set the order of the MIDI/audio files to be played, the particular Multi to be
used for each MIDI file, and the stop location of the chain program by assigning each of them to each Chain Step. The
program set here is executed in the order of the Chain Step number. A maximum number of 100 Chain Steps can be
programmed; after reaching 100, playback returns to 001.

[INC] buttons.
