while in edit mode the sequence
will step back to the first step and
sound the step.
Bank 2 – Rest
When the Bank 2 button is pressed
while in edit mode a blank step will
be inserted at the current

no notes are being pressed. If

be ignored.
Bank 3 – Tie

while in edit mode a tied step will
be inserted at the current step.
Note - this button can only be used if

step in a sequence. If these
conditions are not met the button
will be ignored.

steps).

being played the sequence step
notes already in the sequence
