PROJECT
A project represents one work unit for the user. 16 scenes can be stored in one project.

SCENE
16 patterns and sample assignment information for tracks are stored in scenes.
Since the samples to assign to tracks can be changed for each scene, the tune can be greatly changed by changing the scene.

PATTERN
A pattern combines the sequences to create in the 16 tracks and is one finished section of a performance. A pattern length can be set on a step level
from a minimum of 1 step to a maximum of 64 steps (4 bars).

TRACK
Tracks consist of modules such as sample players, amplifier envelopes, insert effects, LFO, sequences, MIDI NOTE, and MIDI CC.
There are the following three track types.
! Sample track: Used when setting a sample in internal memory as the sound source.
! Through track: Used when setting an external input as the sound source.
! MIDI track: Used when performing using an external MIDI sound source.
Sound sources can be assigned as follows: a bass drum to track 1, a snare drum to track 2, and a synthesizer connected to an external input to track 3.
