Using The Undo/Redo Functions; Undo Level = 1 (Default Setting); Undo Level = 2 Or Higher - Akai DPS16 Operator's Manual

Using the Undo/Redo functions

If you are not satisfied with a recording, you can use the Undo function to cancel the previous recording. With the
DPS16's default setting, the undo level is set to "1". (The undo level is a parameter that determines the number of
previous operations you can undo. The setting "1" means that you can restore one previous operation.) You can set
this value in a range from 0 to 250, inclusive. (See page 109 for more information.) The operation of the Undo
function is slightly different between undo level 1 and undo level 2 or higher.
