CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO - Recording Channel by Channel

4-28
Here is one Þnal example based on 4/4 time, with a step size of eighth-
note triplets (twelve steps per measure):
1 2 3 4 . 6 7 . 9 0 . 2
No matter how you enter a pattern, Pro Audio display the digits in
sequence, with periods replacing digits at each step where a rest would
occur. You can create patterns with up to 64 steps.
Recording Channel by Channel
Most MIDI instruments are capable of sending information on several
different channels at once. When you choose MIDI Omni as the input
source for a track, Pro Audio records into that one track MIDI data from
all the different MIDI devices and channels that are hooked up to your
computer. However, you have the option to be more selective, recording
material from different MIDI channels into different tracks. You can
even group some of the channels or record some channels in several
different tracks at once.
To Use Pattern-Based Step Recording…
1. Choose the source for the track(s) you want to record.
2. Set the Now time to the point in the project where you want to
start recording.
3. Choose
Realtime-Step Record to display the Step Record dialog
box.
4. Click in the Pattern box.
5. Press any number key to indicate a beat at which notes will be
played.
6. Press the space bar, period, or the letter R to indicate a beat on
which there is a rest.
7. When the pattern is complete, click elsewhere in the dialog box.
8. Step record as before.
From now on, after you record each step, Pro Audio automatically
advances past all rests to the next step on which notes will be played.
To stop pattern-based step recording, simply delete the pattern from
the Pattern box.
