6.TEMPO LED – This LED will blink at a rate equal to the tempo displayed on the screen’s bottom right corner.

7.REC LED – This LED will light when the SR18 is recording. It will blink when you are required to confirm or cancel an action.

8.A & B – Each Pattern consists of two Main sub-patterns – A & B. You can select each of the two sub-patterns by pressing its corresponding button. These sub-patterns allow you to program variation in your Patterns (i.e. sub-pattern A is the verse, sub-pattern B is the chorus).

9.FILL – Each Pattern also includes two Fills associated with each of the two sub-patterns. The Fills are used to transition from one sub-pattern to another (i.e. transition from verse to chorus).

10.ERASE – This button allows you to erase Patterns or Songs. Hold this button down and the screen will prompt you to verify that you want to erase the selected element. To erase the part, press the REC button while the ERASE button is being held down. In addition, ERASE allows you to erase specific events in real-time as you compose your patterns. Simply hold down the ERASE button as the Pattern plays and press the pad corresponding to the sound you wish to erase. Any events assigned to the pad will be erased from the moment the pad is pressed until either the pad or the ERASE button is released.

11.SAVE / COPY – This button allows you to save, copy or append the selected Pattern or Song to a specific location, in addition to various other save / copy functions. The different functions can be accessed by pressing the PAGE UP button while holding down SAVE / COPY.
