currently selected pattern.
To select a backing accompaniment, within the Pattern Mode Pattern Select
function, press [E] to move the flashing cursor over the backing name in
the LCD; the backing name will begin flashing, indicating that you can select
a different backing accompaniment to play with the currently selected
