provides you with more ßexibility. For example, with Auto Advance
disabled, you do not even need to play the notes at a single step at the
same time! You can play any number of notes one at a time, and they will
all be recorded at the same step until you click the Advance button. You
can even record notes of different durations at the same step Ð simply
record the notes of one duration, change the duration, and play more
notes, without clicking Advance.
You can click Delete to erase the notes you recorded in a single step. If
Auto Advance is enabled, the Delete button deletes the notes played at
the prior step, and it also backs up a step so you can rerecord the notes
at that step. With Auto Advance disabled, the Delete button erases any
notes you have recorded at the current step.
