This operation completely clears the specifed track from the
currently selected song (including all Play Effect param-
eters).
Track
Settings: Track: 01 — 16, Pattern (Pat), Chord (Chd),
Tempo (Tmp), All
This determines the track (or tracks) which is to be cleared.
In the Track parameter, Pat is for the accompaniment
This operation converts or "expands" the accompaniment
Pattern and Chord track data (which cannot be edited) to
that of standard MIDI format (which can be edited). The
resulting expanded data is placed in the normal sequencer
tracks 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 (see chart below).
Two cautions:
• Be careful when using this, since any previous data in
tracks 8 - 16 will be erased!
• Be judicious in expanding accompaniment tracks, since
they will take up more memory space after being
expanded.
Press E to execute the Expand Backing Job. A
"Completed" message appears briefly when the Job is done.

18: Expand Backing

HINT: The main use for Expand Backing is when you want to
make small changes in the accompaniment that cannot be
made otherwise. For example, you may wish to change a few
notes in a bass part, or change some individual drum sounds
in the rhythm track.
