with the keypad. In either case, the new length is not entered into the part until the
RECORD button is pressed. When RECORD is pressed the display changes to:
LENG*m CHANGED
This display remains until RECORD is released. If LENGTH is released before RECORD is
pressed, no change to the length will be made, regardless of what was pressed on the
keypad. If RECORD is pressed after entering a partial length (1 or 2 digits), nothing will
happen. When entering in digits, the first digit entered {1, for example) results in the
following display:
PART00
LENGTH 1 BEATS
The display is now waiting for the entry of the second digit. If the second digit is not
entered within 2 seconds, the display will revert to its previous value. If RECORD is
pressed after entering an incomplete length (1 or 2 digits), the display will revert to its
previous value.
When a new length is entered (RECORD), any information on any track of the selected part
that was beyond the new set length will be erased. Any notes sustaining beyond the new
end will automatically be given a new duration. If the new length is longer than the previous
one, the additional length will be filled with silence. If it is desired to remove or add length
to the beginning of a part, first set the desired length (as described above), and then press
either page up or page down. The display will change to:
CHANGES PART TOP
LENGTH 000 BEATS
Pressing either page up or page down again will toggle back to the original display. If
RECORD is pressed with the above display showing, any additional beats will be placed at
the beginning of the part, and any beats removed will be removed from the part top. Notes
that were stored in the removed beats will be removed regardless of their duration.
The LENGTH button has no effect in song mode, or while a song or part is playing.
ERASE

be lit. To erase the selected part, press RECORD. The display will change to:
