and
playback of any of

The
pattern
mode
allows recording
and
editing
of
backing
patterns
to
be used
in
songs.

its
name
implies, the
[EXIT] key
allows
you
to
exit
from

about any function
and
return
to
the
previous
mode
or display.

[M]

the
underline cursor

the display,
so
you can select specific functions or
parameters
for pro-

either
end of
the dis-
play,
it
mean
that

by
moving
the cursor

the
end
of
the current display
in
the direction
indicated
