Edit display.
3 Edit the already-recorded events.
Move the cursor to each of parameters, then set the
value by using the data dial, [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO]
buttons. To make it easier to find desired parameters,
use the View Filter display called up via the [SF1]
button. You can use the Copy function called up via the
[SF2] button to copy the events from a specified range
to another range.
If you wish to delete the event, move the cursor to the
event to be deleted then press the [SF5] button.
If you wish to insert a new event, press the [SF4] button
to call up the Insert display. From this display, you can
input the events one by one.
4 Convert the created Pattern Chain data to a
Song.
By using the Convert To Song display called up via the
[SF3] button, you can convert the created Pattern
Chain data to MIDI sequence data and copy the
converted data to a specified Song. This function is
useful for quickly creating backing and accompaniment
parts for Song data.
5 Store the created Pattern Chain data to internal
User Memory.
From the Store window called up via the [STORE]
button, you can store the current Pattern including the
created Pattern Chain data to internal memory. After

the Pattern is maintained even if the power is turned off.

Insert button to call up the Insert window.
