Removing a Fill from Your Song

for a B Pattern and the Fill will be removed.
When the Fill step appears, press and hold the FILL button and press ERASE.
Inserting a New Step Between Two Existing Song Steps
1. The XR20 should be in Step Edit Mode.

select the step number that the inserted
step should occupy. For example, to
insert a step after step 04, select step
05.

keep holding it down until step (6). You
should see the screen shown on the

4. Enter the two-digit Pattern number to be
inserted.

automatically renumbered to reflect the addition of the inserted step (e.g., what used to
