How the Sequencer Is Structured
Pattern
This unit’s sequencer lets you record and play back using 16 tracks
which correspond to the zones.
Each track can have up to eight patterns.
For each track, you can switch the variation during playback.
Each pattern can be up to 32 measures long, and will play as a loop
of the length that is specied for each pattern.
