Press Part Select [M.DRUMS] to edit the data right away. The following parameters allow
you to narrow down the scope of the edit operation. If you wish to edit the entire pattern, there
is no need to fine-tune your settings. Just confirm the command by pressing Part Select
[M.DRUMS].

m@ = From/For
Use the [DRUMS/PART] encoder to select either the From or the To level. The From level
allows you to specify the position where the selected number of bars, beats, and clocks is to
be inserted.
For, on the other hand, specifies how many bars, beats, and CPTs are to be inserted. In other
words, this function does not follow the From/To rule of the other User Style Edit functions.
Track Insert works more or less like Length (see page 48) when it comes to making a pattern
longer. There is one major difference, though: Track Insert allows you to make room at the
beginning or in the middle of a pattern, while Length can only add blank measures, beats, and
CPTs at the end of a pattern. (Apart from, Length also allows you to shorten a pattern, of
course.)
Note: The Microscope mode also features an Insert function (see page 72) that allows you to add
events without shifting the subsequent events towards the end. If you need to make room for new
data, Edit Track Insert, is thus the only option you have.
m Bar (1~9999)
This is where you specify the bar position. By default, the From and To values are set to the
beginning and end of the selected track(s). Note that the To value always refers to the end of
the longest track.
MW Beat (1-[number of beats per bar])
m CPT
This is where you specify the CPT value of the insert position (To) or the length of the insert
(For). In most cases, you will probably work with entire bars because doing otherwise is high-
ly confusing and probably not very musical.
E Execute
Press Part Select [M.DRUMS] to confirm your settings and insert the requested number of
bars, beats and CPTs.
