The Step Backing Sequence mode allows you to enter single
chords, to create or edit the Style (Chord/Acc) part of a Song.
This mode lets you enter chords even if you are not a keyboard

controls, during a Backing Sequence (Quick Record) recording.
In this mode, you can only edit Songs created using the Backing
Sequence (Quick Record) recording mode. When saving a Song
