ABSYNTH 5 Reference Manual – 176
12.2.1 Main Operations
The main recording operations are controlled with the Stop, Start/Pause and Record buttons
in the Window’s top row.
To record ABSYNTH 5’s sound, you rst need to arm the recorder by pressing the red Record
button in the Window’s top row. The button will then start blinking along with the Start/Pause
button, and the Audio Recorder is ready to record.
To start the recording, you have two possibilities:
► Click on the Start/Pause button.
or
► Activate the Wait for note switch: the recording then starts automatically when you play
the rst note (from your MIDI keyboard, from the Virtual Keyboard or from your com-
puter keyboard).
To stop the recording, you have two possibilities:
► Click on the Stop button.
or
►
The recording ends automatically if the Fixed Length switch is turned on and the set time
is surpassed. You can enter the length in beats according to the tempo (in beats per
minute, BPM). This easily creates loop-like recordings, which can then be used in any
other environment – or, recursively, in ABSYNTH 5’s sample operation modes.
While recording, the Status Bar displays the current recording progress as a small horizontal bar.
