In this section, all Sequences are assigned to a pad. Unused empty
Sequences are marked (unused). You can use the Pad Bank
buttons to show the Sequences assigned to pads in other banks.

arrangement.
You can insert Sequences between existing Sequences, or you can
replace Sequences by dragging a Sequence directly over another.
