Time In
TheTimeInparameterdeterminesthestarttimeforLooporPunchInrecording(moreonthis
below).
Time Out
TheTimeOutparameterdeterminesthestoptimeforLooporPunchInrecording.
Song End
TheSongEndparameterdeterminestheendpointforthesong.NotethatwhenTimeOutand
SongEndaresettothesamelocation,changesmadetoSongEndarereflectedinTimeOut.
WhenrecordingbeyondyourinitiallyspecifiedSongEndpoint,you’llnoticethattheSongEnd
location
automaticallymovesandroundstothenextbar,soastoalwaysbeaheadofthe
playhead.ItispossibletomovetheSongEndpointtoalocationbeforeotherMIDIevents(i.e.,
inthemiddleofthecurrentsong)—thesequencerwillignore(butnotdelete)eventsafterthis
point.
Loop
WiththeLoopparametersettoLoop,thesequencerwillloopthesegmentofthesongbetween
TimeInandTimeOut.
RecMode
WiththeRecModeparametersettoLinear,thesequencerwillrecordnormally,fromwhereever
youstart,towhereeveryoustop,oruntiltheSongEndpointisreached.WiththeRecMode
parametersettoPunchIn,thesequencerwillrecordeventsonlybetweenthepointssetforTime

TousetheUnLoopsetting,theLoopparametermustbesettoLoop,andalooplengthmustbe
setwiththeTimeInandTimeOutparametersontheBIGpage.WiththeRecModeparameter
settoUnloop,anyexisting
trackswillbeplayedbackasiftheywereloopingfromtheTimeInto
theTimeOutpoint,buttheyareactuallybeingre‐recordedlinearlyoverabsoluteBarsandBeats
untilyoupressStop.UnLoopallowsyoutorecordalineartrackoverashortloopingsection
withoutfirst
havingtocopythesectionoverandoveragaintoachieveanewdesiredSong
length.TheEndpointoftheSongisextendedtothedownbeatofthe(empty)Barimmediately
followingthelastBaryouwererecordingwhenStopwaspressed.
Forexample,letʹssayyouhave
arecordedafourbardrumloopandnowwanttorecordan
eightbarbassline.Thiswouldbe asituationwhereUnLoopwouldcomeinhandy.Whilethe
drumtrackkeepslooping,thebasstrackwillrecordinlinearfashion,andtheendpointwillbe
movedtothe
pointatwhichyoupressStop.Actually,thedrumtrackwillalsochange.Itwill
playthroughitslooptwice,butwhiletheinformationisrepeatingintheloop,itwillbe
recordedtothetrack.Sonowifyoulookatthedrumtrack,youwillseeinformationin
bars5‐8
(aduplicateofthe information inbars1‐4).
Metron
TheMetronparameterdeterminestherecordingmodesinwhichthemetronomewillplay.With
MetronsettoOff,themetronomedoesnʹtplayatall.WithMetronsettoRec,themetronome
onlyplayswhilerecordingisinprogress.WithMetronsettoAlways,themetronomeplays
duringplayback
andrecording.WithMetronsettoCountOff,themetronomeplaysonly
duringcountoff(iftheCountOffparameterontheMetronomepageissettosomethingother
