Creating a song
Creating a song from scratch
Here's how to create a song by placing patterns in the desired
order.
If you switch to a different song while editing a song, your
edited data will be lost. If you wish to keep the edited song,
you must perform the Write operation to save the song
data.
Erasing song data (CLEAR SONG)
1. If the song is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop play-
back. Then select the song that you wish to erase.
2. Hold down the SHIFT key and press step key 16 (CLEAR
SONG ). (Key 16 will blink.)
3. Press step key 16 once again to erase the song data.
To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.
If you erase the song data by mistake, rotate the dial to re-select
the song before you save it. This will restore the data to its origi-
nal condition.
