You did turn on MIDI clock out right?  SPP does not transmit if MIDI clock
out is off.

To control what?

The manual is slightly incorrect in this regard.  Think of "insert" as
"divide".  Go to a bar that does not otherwise have a pattern change command
on it, and press repeat.  This divides the pattern that used to span that
measure into two parts.  For example:

S01 PatternA  len:8  bar:001
S02 PatternB  len:8  bar:009
S03 PatternC  len:8  bar:017

if you go to bar:005 (halfway through the first step) and press repeat,
you'll get this:

S01 PatternA  len:4  bar:001
S02 PatternA  len:4  bar:005
S03 PatternB  len:8  bar:009  <- note this didn't move
S04 PatternC  len:8  bar:017

Now, you can change the length of any step and have the times slide around.
Ditto with erase, by the way.  It simply removes the step, leaving all the
other times as is.
