The Sequencer

DELETE MEASURE

Deletes the specified measure or range of measures from all tracks (including the accompaniment track).
Use the TOP LCD dial to specify the number of
the first measure in the range to be deleted, and the
LAST LCD dial to specify the number of the last
measure in the range to be deleted.
Once the top and last measure numbers have
been selected, press the EXECUTE LCD button to
execute the delete operation. The "Are you
sure? " confirmation prompt will appear on the
display: press the YES LCD button to go ahead with
the delete operation, or the NO LCD button to
cancel. "Executing." will appear on the display
while the operation is in progress, and "Com-
pleted." will appear briefly when the operation
has finished.
NOTES
• It's important to remember that a Delete Measure
operation affects all tracks simultaneously, and that
measures following the deleted range are moved back
to take the place of the deleted measures. This differ-
entiates the Delete Measure function from the Erase
function (described later), which replaces data in the
specified range with rests.
• Be careful when deleting measures that contain effect
on/off events — e.g. pitch bend, modulation, sustain,
harmony, etc. If, for example, you delete a measure
that contains a pitch bend off event, the pitch bend
applied in a previous measure will remain in effect until
the next pitch bend event is encountered.
• The Delete Measure operation has no "undo" function,
so be absolutely sure you want to delete the selected
material before actually executing the delete opera-
tion.

CREATE MEASURE

Inserts a specified number of blank measures in
all tracks (including the accompaniment track) at
the specified measure number.
Use the TOP LCD dial to specify the number of
the measure at which the blank measures are to be
inserted, and the SIZE LCD dial to specify the
number of blank measures to be inserted.
Once the top measure number and size have been
selected, press the EXECUTE LCD button to actu-
ally execute the insert operation. The "Are you
sure?" confirmation prompt will appear on the
