Recording a track at a time in
real time
This method allows you to create a backing sequence
by recording a track at a time.
The backing sequence tracks may corresponds to vari-
ous tracks of the iS35. Some of the backing sequence
tracks do not correspond to real tracks of the iS35, but
to special control tracks.

tracks over the Global and the chords over the Global
and/or the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels.
