Zoom Sampletrak ST-224 - Creating Songs; Song Recording Procedure

The ST-224 lets you record and play eight songs. A song is a series of pad actions. The maximum number of
sounds is 5000, and the maximum length of all songs together is 300 bars.
When a song which contains data has been selected, the song number and information about the current
position (number of bars and beats) are shown on the display. When a song without data has been selected, the
position information shows only "-----".
