7 Sequencer Buttons
The sequencer buttons control playback of the accompaniment and
sequencer parts (also real-time recording of the sequencer parts), and allow
you to locate a specific measure and beat within a song. Their layout and
functions are similar to the transport controls on a tape recorder.

the 1 MEASURE bar correspond to 32nd-notes).
