While recording in Replace mode, press the lit ERASE button to disengage Replace
mode.
→
The recording goes on in Overdub mode (see description above).
You can also  erase events without engaging record: If you hold ERASE  together with a
pad while playing (or recording), all events of  that pad at the current  play position are
deleted (see section ↑7.4.5, Deleting Events/Notes).
Where are the Events Recorded?
When you start recording the pads, the events are recorded as follows:
▪ If a Pattern is already selected (i.e. loaded in the Pattern Editor), the events are recorded
in that Pattern. This is also true if the playhead of the Arranger currently is within an auto-
matic repetition of the original Clip.
▪ If no Pattern is selected, engaging record (in Overdub or Replace mode) automatically cre-
ates an empty Pattern with the default Pattern Length. The new Pattern is referenced by a
Clip placed at the beginning of the current Scene and repeated all along the Scene.
You can adjust the default Pattern Length in the Defaults page of the Preferences panel.
See section ↑2.6.1, Preferences – General Page for more information.
When you get ready to record, you can also use the Record Prepare mode on your controller to
quickly create a new Pattern with the desired length and directly start the recording! See sec-
tion ↑7.2.2, The Record Prepare Mode for more on this.
7.2.2 The Record Prepare Mode
 
The Record Prepare mode is very useful when you are about to start a new recording. Indeed, it
allows  you  to  adjust  the  Pattern  Length  and  the  resolution  of  the  Pattern  Grid  right  before
starting a  recording.  This  way  you can  quickly  create  a  new Pattern  with  the  desired  pattern
length and directly start recording events in it!
You can also use the Record Prepare mode to adjust the length of an existing Pattern.
