Recording an RPPR performance
YoucanrecordRPPRperformancesinreal‐time.
Ifyouareusingonlyonetrack(suchasMIDITrack01),
set“TrackSelect”tothedesiredtrack,andun‐check
MultiRec.
Ontheotherhand,evenifRPPRusesonlyonetrack,
usemulti‐trackrecordingifyouwillbeselecting
anothertrackin“T
rackSelect”andrecordingits
performanceatthesametime.
Youshouldalsoselectmulti‐trackrecordingifyou
specifiedtheRPPRdatausingmultipletracksrather
thanjustasingletrack,andwanttosimultaneously
recordtheperformanceofmultipletracks.
Note:TheRPPRpatternwillberecor
