Parameter Description
MODE Select from three available recording modes:
DETECT: Select DETECT mode to record audio after the set threshold
is has been exceeded. This mode will automatically load the Sampler
Plug-in. The selected Take must be triggered using MIDI Events in
the Pattern Editor.
If DETECT is selected, you can set a certain threshold using the next
parameter (THRESHOLD). The threshold is indicated by a little arrow
above the level meters on the display. After you pressed F1 (START),
the input signal level exceeding this threshold will start the
recording. Manually stop the recording by pressing F1 (STOP) again.
This is useful to record a singer or an instrumentalist, for example.
SYNC: Select Sync to record audio to the Pattern Grid. This mode will
automatically load the Sampler Plug-in. The selected Take must be
triggered using MIDI Events in the Pattern Editor.
If SYNC is selected, you can synchronize the recording function to
the sequencer, so that the recording starts in sync with the
sequencer after you press F1 (START). The recording will start at the
top of the next bar. Using the last parameter (LENGTH), you can
choose a length for the Sample to be recorded: either 1, 2, 4, 8, or
16 bars, or choose FREE if you don’t want to set any duration limit
to the recording. At any time you can press F1 (STOP) to stop the
recording before the duration defined by LENGTH has been reached,
the recording will then stop at the next bar.
Loop: Select Loop to record audio that you intend to play back in-
sync with your Project using the Audio plug-in. It records audio in
the same way as Sync however, when Loop mode is selected, an
additional parameter appears called Target. In Loop mode the
recording is loaded into an Audio plug-in so that you can
immediately hear the results. The Target parameter dictates how
