I To delete a measure
Use the [ ]/[ ] keys to move to the start of the measure you want to delete, and press the
[DELETE] key. The indication "DELETE?" appears on the display. Press the [ENTER] key to
delete the measure from the current song. Subsequent patterns are shifted forward. If you delete
the first measure of a 2-measure pattern, the first measure remains in the song, with the indication
" Pattern". This means that the immediately preceding pattern is played. If required, delete this
measure using the same procedure.

Switching midway to another pattern
It is also possible to have the unit switch to another pattern while a pattern is playing. For example,
you could change the second half of a 2-measure pattern to a fill-in 1-measure pattern.
In song mode, select the song and press the [G REC] key.

The [G REC] key lights up, and song step input becomes possible.
Press the [L] key.

The indication "EV➝" is shown on the display. While this indication is shown, you can use
the [ ]/[ ] keys to adjust the position in measure units. Other indications such as "PT" or
"TS" to the right of "EV➝" denote event information for the current position. (For details, see
page 66.)
Use the [ ]/[ ] keys to move to the measure where you want to input pattern

Measure Beat
Tick
With each push of the [STEP] key, the current position is shifted by a sixteenth note (24 ticks).
The [STEP] key cannot be used to move back. If you have moved past the desired
position, use the [ ] key to return to the start of the measure, and then start over with the
[STEP] key.
Press the [M] key once.
5
Pattern information can be input at the current position.
Also while the "EV➝" indication is not shown, you can use the [STEP] key to shift the
current position by a sixteenth note (24 ticks). In this case, the current tick count is shown
only while the [STEP] key is pressed.
Use the [VALUE] dial to select the pattern for input.
6
Immediately after turning the [VALUE] dial, pattern information is input for the current
position. When pattern information is input midway in a measure, the indication "F" appears
to the right of the pattern number.
If the pattern was switched midway in a measure, the new pattern does not play from the
beginning, but from the point where the pattern is switched.

• The pattern entered here is repeated until the point where the next pattern information
exists.
• When you press the [ENTER] key for a pattern with "F" appended to the number, the
"F" indication disappears and the pattern starts from the beginning. (In this case, the
current position becomes the new start of the measure.) By pressing the [ENTER] key
again, you can return to the pattern with "F".
Press the [I] key to terminate the operation.
