5.2.3 Recording a New Pattern Using the Count-in
Once your empty Pattern in Pattern slot 2 has the desired length, you are ready for recording.
You have already learned how to record a Pattern by starting the sequencer then enabling the
record mode, also using the metronome (see ↑3.3, Recording Your First Pattern). Here you will
learn another useful aid for recording: the Count-in.
The Count-in cannot be enabled from the software. Please use your controller as descri-
bed below.
1. Press SHIFT + REC (Count-In) to start recording using the Count-in.
⇨ The metronome is automatically activated and plays a full bar before the sequencer and
the recording actually start.
2. Play on the pads.
⇨ Once the sequencer has started, your playing is recorded.
3. To stop the metronome, press SHIFT + TAP (Metro). To stop the recording, press REC to
disable it. To stop the sequencer, press STOP.
The Count-in allows you to prepare yourself and e.g. get the downbeat on time.
You can change the Count-in length (i.e. how long you hear the metronome alone before the
sequencer and the recording start) directly from your controller by pressing the SETTINGS but-
ton left of the displays and turning Knob 4 (Count-In LENGTH).
The SETTINGS button opens the Recording Settings mode, which allows you to adjust
various metronome and quantization settings. For all details, please refer to the MA-
SCHINE Manual available from the Help menu.
