Parameter Description
MODE Select from two available recording modes:
SYNC: 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.
DETECT: 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.
Monitoring the Input Signal
The level meters in the middle of the display show you at any time the level of the selected
audio source. For example, this can come in handy to adjust the appropriate threshold in De-
tect mode. For this purpose, in Detect mode the level meters provide a little down-pointing ar-
row indicating the threshold level.
