Edit Section Controls
The Edit section shows the currently selected
Pattern superimposed on a bar|beat grid. Each
vertical bar in the blue area represents an Instru-
ment hit.
Depending on the current Complexity level set
on the Main page, some events in a Part may not
be played. Events that are not played appear
grayed out in the Edit section. Muted events are
shown as an outline only. The selected event is
colored yellow.

preserve the feel of the Style.
