a keyboard part phrase or a drum part rhythm.

keys will be defeated, but the Keyboard function will return to its
previous setting when you select a keyboard part once again.

edit. The lower line of LEDs will indicate the area in which you will
be editing. For example, if the pattern to be edited has a length of
“2” and you wish to edit the second half of the pattern, you would
use the select keys to advance the red led to the “2” position.
4. The step keys will light to indicate the rhythm of the selected pat-
tern. You can press the step keys to change the rhythm of the pat-
tern. Each time you press a step key, it will alternate between on (lit)
and off (dark). You can make these changes even during playback.
Drum parts 6A and 6B, and 7A and 7B, cannot be played simulta-
neously. If both ‘A’ and ‘B’ are triggered simultaneously, only ‘B’ (i.e.,
