▌ REAL TIME LIVE RECORDING A PATTERN
1. Press [Pattern] to select the Pattern Mode page.
2. Hold [Instrument] + Turn (Jog) or Press [PAD] to select the instrument to
record. The Note will be live recorded with pads.
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. Press [PAD] in real time to record. The pad note will be recorded along
with the default instrument selected. Notes are recorded along with a
‘Note Off’ value.
5. To change optionally to instrument or FX recording, Press [Instrument]
or [FX] during live recording. A ‘Note Off’ value is not recorded with
these options.
6. 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.
7. Press [Rec] to leave recording mode but to continue playing.
8. 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 On/Off: Cong > Metronome: State = On.
• Set the Pre roll count in On/Off: Cong > Metronome: Pre roll = On.
• Set Quantize: 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] + Turn (Jog) or Press [PAD] to set a default
instrument to record.
▌ SETTING QUANTIZE RECORDING OPTIONS
1. Press [Cong] to select the settings options.
2. In the left window, Turn (Jog) to highlight ‘General’.
3. Press [Right] to select the ‘General’ sub menu.
4. In the central window sub menu, scroll using (Jog) to select ‘Recording
Options’. These 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: Record velocity at a xed value with pads. 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.
