STEP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP
STEP allows you to record one beat at a time. Normally the beat is
set to a sixteenth note (this can be changed—see QUANTIZING). From
stop, pressing STEP places you at the beginning of the sequence.
Every time a drum is pressed, the sequence advances one beat. To
program a rest, press the forward arrow. To stop, press STEP once
again. If you press STEP while in PLAY or RECORD, the sequence will
step from its present location and go back to play or record when
STEP is pressed again.
While in STEP, you can erase any of the drums one beat at a time.
Pressing ERASE and the desired DRUM erases only that drum on that
beat.

SWING
SWING is similar to QUANTIZE in that it corrects the timing of your
recordings, however SWING will alter the time so that the first half
of the beat gets more than half of the time, creating a "shuffle"
feel.
