The timing of a chord progression is expressed as a

series of three values separated by colons (such as 001:1:00) indicating measure*1 (001), beat (1), and tick (00)*2. This series of three values is referred to

collectively as a “step”.

The screen shot above shows the first two steps (001, 002) of the Music Preset. Use the bp (REW)

and bq (FF) buttons to scroll and view other steps. *1 Up to 999 measures
