• You can use song job 00 (UNDO/REDO) to cancel a re-
cording that you have just made. This allows you to recover
data that you have inadvertently over-recorded. (
• Remember to set the appropriate parameters (such as meas-
ure, tempo, meter, click beat, click mode, count, and trans-
position) before beginning the recording. (
• It is a good idea to select a slow tempo. This will make it
easier to enter the chord values at the right time.
• You can use step recording of the PATTERN track to re-
view or modify the recorded chords. (
