Side arrow ( )
The small arrow next to a parameter means that its
value is effective at the current position. For example, if
you are at the "M003.01.000" position, and an arrow
lights up next to the Chord parameter, this means that
a chord change happens at the "M003.01.000" position.
M(easure)
This is the locator. It shows the current position of the
Step Editor. To go to a different position within the
Song, select this parameter, then use the TEMPO/
VALUE controls, the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons, or
the < > buttons (while the << >> buttons let you move to
the previous or following measure). When using one of
these controls, the locator moves in steps of 1/8 (192
ticks), or jumps to the next event.
The locator's format is as follows:
Measure
Measure: Measure or bar number.
Beat: Divider in the Time Signature ratio (e.g., a quar‐
ter in a 3/4 time).
Tick: Minimal sequencer's resolution. The microAR‐
RANGER internal sequencers feature a resolution of
384 ticks per quarter.
INSERT
When the Measure parameter is selected,
press INSERT to insert a measure starting
from the current position. All Chord/Acc
events contained into the current measure
will be moved to the following measure.
The event at the Mxxx.xx.000 position (i.e.,
exactly at the beginning of the measure,
like a Time Signature or Style change) will
not be moved.
DELETE
When the Measure parameter is selected,
press DELETE to delete the current mea‐
sure. All Chord/Acc event contained into
the following measures are moved to the
current measure.
SHIFT + DELETE
When the Measure parameter is selected,
press SHIFT + DELETE to delete all events
in the Style tracks, starting from the cur‐
rent position to the end of the Song. To
delete all events in the Style tracks, go
back to the M001.01.000 position, and
press SHIFT + DELETE.
Note: All events on the very first tick
(M001.01.000), like Style, Tempo, Chord,
Style Element selection, cannot be deleted.
Tempo
This is the Tempo Change parameter. To insert a Tempo
Change event at the current position, select this param‐
eter and use the TEMPO/VALUE controls to change its
value.

and the side arrow ( ) – showing that a
Tempo Change event has been selected at
Beat
Tick
the current position – appears next to it,
press DELETE to delete the Tempo
Change at the current position.
Note: If the side arrow doesn't appear, the
event was not selected at the current position,
and will not be deleted.
SHIFT + DELETE
When the Tempo parameter is selected,
press SHIFT + DELETE to delete all
Tempo Change events, starting from the

delete all Tempo Change events in the
Song, go back to the M001.01.000 position,
and press SHIFT + DELETE.
Note: All events on the very first tick
(M001.01.000), like Perf, Style, Tempo, Chord,
Style Element selection, cannot be deleted.
Style
This is the last selected Style. To insert a Style change at
the current position, follow the standard selecting pro‐
cedure using the buttons of the STYLE section.
Note: Any Style Change inserted after the beginning of the
measure (i.e., to a position other than Mxxx.01.000) will be
effective at the following measure. For example, if a Style
Change event has been inserted at M004.03.000, the selected
Style will be effectively selected at M005.01.000. (This works
exactly as in Style Play mode).
Note: When inserting a Style Change, you may also insert a
Tempo Change at the same position. A Style Change will not
automatically insert the Style's Tempo.
DELETE
When the Style parameter is selected, and
the side arrow ( ) – showing that a Style
Change event has been selected at the cur‐
rent position – appears next to it, press
DELETE to delete the Style Change at the

event was not selected at the current position,
and will not be deleted.
SHIFT + DELETE
When the Style parameter is selected,
press SHIFT + DELETE to delete all Style
Change events, starting from the current
position to the end of the Song. To delete
all Style Change events in the Song, go

Note: All events on the very first tick
(M001.01.000), like Perf, Style, Tempo,

mance to recall the Style it memorizes. To insert a Per‐
