Editing a song
You can insert a new pattern into a song, or delete an existing
pattern. You can also add knob movements or your own per-
formance to a song.
If you wish to keep the edited song, you must perform
the Write operation. If you select a different song or turn
off the power without performing the Write operation,
the song will return to the state in which it was before
you edited it.

tion (Insert Pattern)
You can insert a pattern at a specified position, and subsequent

tern). (The 11 key will blink.)

tion 3. make the display blink "003.")

in front of that position. (The key will go dark.)
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.

viously been at that position. Now you can specify the de-
sired pattern for the position that was inserted.

sition (Delete Pattern)
