Menu: Song/Song/Record
Parameter: Record Method
Value Range: Overdub, Replace, Spot Erase
The Fusion has three recording methods for synth tracks (audio is always
set to “replace”). They are as follows:
1. Overdub – Overdub recording keeps whatever is already
recorded and lets you record additional performances on top of
the original recording.
2. Replace – Replace record erases whatever is currently on the
track while recording whatever you play.
3. Spot Erase – Spot erase lets you erase specific notes by
holding down those notes while recording. In other words, if
you hold down notes while recording, the sequencer will
automatically delete these notes as they come up in your track.
Once you release these notes, the remainder of the track will be
left alone.
Menu: Song/Song/Record
Parameter: Quantize
Value Range: Off, 32-note Triplet, Dotted 64-note, 32-note, 16-note
triplet, Dotted 32-note, 16-note, 8-note triplet, Dotted 16-note,
8-note, Quarter-note Triplet, Dotted 8-note, Quarter Note
Quantize allows you to “clean up” your timing by automatically
“snapping” each note you play to the nearest logical point in the beat. By
setting this parameter to “off ” the sequencer will record your
performance exactly as you play it. Otherwise, you can set this parameter
to any of the additional settings that are right for your composition and
small inaccuracies in timing will be automatically fixed as you record.
Note that it is possible to quantize your recorded MIDI tracks after
they’ve been recorded. See page 163 for more.
