About Steps
Actually, creating a song arrangement is
accomplished by arranging “steps.” A step
is the data combining a pattern number and
the measure at which that pattern is to start.
(Example)
When a song is composed using the patterns ar-
ranged as above, the arrangement will then consist
of the following sequence of steps.
In other words, since even lengthy songs are se-
quences of these compositional units, or steps,
these songs can be finished with less steps.
With the MICRO BR, you can arrange sequences of
up to 50 steps.
