Example 2: Adding tracks
Here’s how to add a track to a song in the E-80’s Song

at least one part or after playing back an existing song.
See page 174 for how to start a new song.
Please bear with us and perform all indicated steps to
get a feel for the way the 16-track Sequencer “ticks”.
Besides, what you learn here will also come in handy
for recording your own Music Styles.
Note: See also “Easy editing and useful functions” on p. 179 for
some additional functions that are not covered here.
Note: If the song you wish to supplement contains MAKEUP

new version before changing it. See “Before saving your settings”
on page 148.
