Repeat until done.
Repeat steps 1 through 3, above, until the required number of chord changes and other accompaniment events
have been entered. The end of the sequence is automatically set at the end of an ENDING pattern, FADE OUT, one
measure after the last measure containing data, or the insert point of an END event (available at the bottom of the
CHORD TYPE list).

DELETING EVENTS

When the cursor is located at any previously-entered dot on
the CHORD STEP data line, the type of event(s) recorded in that
location are indicated by triangular marker(s) to the left of the
corresponding event names in the event window. When only one
type of event has been entered at the cursor location an eraser
icon appears to the right of the corresponding event in the event
window, and that event can be erased simply by pressing the
DEL. LCD button. When more than one type of event has been
entered at the cursor location the SELECT LCD dial can be used
to place the eraser icon next to any of these events, and the
specified event can be erased by pressing the DEL. LCD button.
Events at the top of a measure can be changed but not deleted.

INSERTING OR DELETING MEASURES

When the cursor is located at the first beat of a measure, a new
(blank) measure can be inserted at that location by pressing the
measure INS. LCD button to the left of the display.
An entire measure can be deleted by placing the cursor at the
first beat of the measure to be deleted, and then pressing the
measure DEL. LCD button to the left of the display.

SAVING THE CHORD STEP DATA

The entered CHORD STEP data is automatically saved to disk
when you switch displays, press the [EXIT] button, or press the
[SONG/M.PAD RECORDING] button.
