5.Use the dial to specify the desired pitch offset. +/–1offsets the pitch by a semitone, +/–2by a whole tone, +/–7by a fifth, and +/–12by one octave.

Even when the parameter select LEDs indicate Pitch Offset, you can use the Select keys to move the position forward or backward in single steps.

Editing a song

You can insert a new pattern into a song, or delete an existing pattern. You can also add knob movements or your own per- formance to a song.

If you wish to keep the edited song, you must perform the Write operation. If you select a different song or turn off the power without performing the Write operation, the song will return to the state in which it was before you edited it.

Inserting a pattern at a specified

position (Insert Pattern)

You can insert a pattern at a specified position, and subsequent patterns will be moved backward (toward the end of the song).
