4.2.3 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 hen enabling the
record mode, also using the metronome (see ↑2.3, Recording Your First Pattern). Here you will
learn another useful aid for recording: the Count-in.
You can change the Count-in Preferences > General > Default Metronome Settings.
Activation of Count-in is unavailable from the software. Please use your controller as de-
scribed below.
1. Check that the CONTROL button at the top left corner of your controller is lit — if not,
press it to enter Control mode.
2. Press SHIFT + PLAY to activate the Metronome.
3. Press SHIFT + REC 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.
4. Play on the pads.
Once the sequencer has started, your playing is recorded.
5. To stop the metronome, press SHIFT + PLAY. To stop the recording, press REC to disable
it. To stop the sequencer, press PLAY to disable it.
The Count-in notably allows you to prepare yourself and e.g. get the downbeat on time!
You can change the Count-in Preferences > General > Default Metronome Settings.
