Step Recording - Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-770 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5. Recording a Song
While you are realtime-recording, suppose that you used
Realtime Pattern Change (p. 50) to record a Fill-in or
Variation pattern while playing the Original pattern. If you
later use step-recording to edit this song, the pattern (i.e.,
Original or Variation) that that changed to the Fill-in pattern
will have an " * " added to its pattern number.
