Connecting patterns to create a song (Song mode)
You can specify the order in which patterns will be played back, and
connect them to create a song.
In other words, you can create an entire song just by connecting
patterns (each containing several measures) in the desired order and
playing them back.
In one song, you can specify a playback order for up to 50 patterns.
Each position (number) in the specified order of playback is called a
step.
