Current measure; pattern length • This setting enables or disables the fingered-chord feature. • If you enable this feature (by setting the value to FINGRD), you will be able to enter chord values directly by playing the appropriate chord either at the microkeyboard or at a remote MIDI keyboard. Specifically, you can enter the root and type by playing the keys within the keyboard's fingeredchord zone (→ p.299), and you can enter an on-bass or original-bass value by playing the appropriate key(s) in the area to the left of the zone. See the procedure given on the previous page. • For general information about the fingered chord feature, refer to Chapter 1. (→ p.42) 0101 1101 OFF, FINGRD 1.

Press t to return to the top of the song. 0101 1101 Current length 001,...,pattern length (in measures) 1.
