The Clear operation clears both the
1st part and the 2nd part (at this time,
the 1st part is set to 16 steps and the
2nd part is set to 0 steps).
In order to use the 2nd part, you must
specify the number of steps. The
number of steps can be freely
distributed to the 1st part and the 2nd
part.
* The 1st part and 2nd part together
make up one pattern. You can't use
just the 2nd part by itself.
* For the 2nd part as well, variations A
and B within the same basic rhythm
(or intro/fill-in) have the same number
of steps.
* By holding down the [CLEAR] button
and pressing the [TAP] button, you
can set the number of steps for the
2nd part to 0.
