Thanks Steve.  That does make sense.  Now, I gotta figure out how to 
use it. Can I insert it using just the command station or do I need 
some kind of sysex editor?    

Thanks Brandon,

P.S. Here are my answers to your questions.
> As for ending a song, why not just press the stop button? Or why 
not assign a foot pedal to stop the sequencer?
I want to have everything programed into the sequencer for several 
different reasons.  Mainly, so if I'm not paying attention 
everything will progress or stop the way its supposed to.  I just  
answered another post that asked me a similar question.  See that 
reply if you want for more reasons why.

> example), why not just copy that pattern to another slot, change 
the length to 6 measures, and delete all the notes and events after 
beat 2, and put a STOP even after it?
It takes way too long. Again, see my reply to the other post.  After 
experimenting all day with the subject, I found that its easier to 
record the mutes in song mode when needed and place them in the song 
event edit menu.
