▌ REAL TIME LIVE RECORDING A PATTERN
1. Press [1] to select the Pattern Mode page.
2. Hold [Instrument] + (Up), (Down) or [+] / [-] to scroll through and select
options. Select the instrument to record. The Notes will be live recorded
from the incoming MIDI keyboard.
3. Press [Rec] + [Play] to start live recording mode. The sequencer will
start immediately or after a count in of 4 if ‘Pre roll’ is set on.
4. Play the external MIDI keyboard controller. Notes are recorded along
with a ‘Note Off’ value.
5. Steps will be recorded into the current track. Notes will not be
overdubbed. Any recording that coincides with an existing note will by
default be recorded into the step row on the next track right. This
behaviour is dependant on arming of tracks.
6. Press [Rec] to leave recording mode but to continue playing.
7. Press [Play] to stop playback.
▌ PREPARING FOR LIVE RECORDING
A number of settings are available when recording live. These are optional
depending on circumstances.
• Set the Metronome: [Menu] > Cong > Metronome: State On.
• Set the Pre roll count in: [Menu] > Cong > Metronome: Pre roll On.
• Set Quantize: [Menu] > Cong > General > Recording Options
• Arm or Disarm a track to allow recording:-
Hold [Shift] + [Rec] + Screen Button to toggle arm/disarm per track.
Note that only arming the target track to record to will avoid steps
being recorded to adjacent tracks when steps are occupied.
• Ensure the Note parameter is highlighted which will allow recording
steps. If the Instrument or FX is highlighted by default, then these
will be recorded.
• Hold [Instrument] + [+] / [-] to set a default instrument to record.
▌ SETTING QUANTIZE RECORDING OPTIONS
1. Hold [Menu] and with D-Pad navigation buttons, select ‘Cong’ options.
2. In the left window, highlight ‘General’. Use the screen, D-Pad
navigation or [+] / [-] buttons to scroll menu.
3. Press (Right) to select the ‘General’ sub menu option window and scroll
to select ‘Recording Options’. Use the screen, D-Pad Navigator or the
[+] / [-] buttons to scroll menu. Press [Change] screen button to edit.
This will determine the quantize for recording:-
• Only Notes: Quantize notes only.
• Microtiming: Will record a nudge or offset as it is played by
recording as a ‘Micro-move’ FX value in the step. Delete these FX to
revert to quantized values.
• Velocity: Use an external MIDI Keyboard to record in real time
velocity values. Velocity is recorded as an FX value.
• Microtiming + Velocity. Record into both FX the xed velocity and
real time microtiming values.
