The Realtime Recording Window
When you start recording by pressing the Realtime Rec
Standby window’s F8 (Start) button or PLAY, your song starts
playing and the Realtime Recording window appears.
After you’ve checked out the options in the Realtime Recording window,
you can hit STOP and then return to the desired song location to actually
begin recording.
In the Realtime Recording window, you’ll find options that
allow you to:
• punch-in—re-recording portions of a track or pattern. We’ll
discuss punching in a few pages.
• erase—already-recorded material in realtime.
• rehearse—what you’ll be playing without recording it.
If none of these options interest you, press F8 (Close) to close
the window and continue recording, or simply leave the
window open as you record.
Rehearsing
You can rehearse your playing without actually recording it by
entering Rehearsal mode. There are two ways to get there, and
you can use the two methods interchangeably:
• From the Realtime Recording window—Press F7 (Rehearsal).
Its onscreen button turns red to signify that you’re now
in Rehearsal mode. To exit Rehearsal mode, press F7
(Rehearsal) again.
• Using the REC button—When REC’s red indicator is lit, and
not blinking, recording is underway. To enter Rehearsal
mode, press REC once so its indicator flashes. To exit
Rehearsal mode, press REC again so its indicator stops
flashing.
You can also enter Rehearsal mode by pressing REC during a count-in
before recording starts.
If you rehearse your playing and press STOP without leaving Rehearsal
mode, nothing is recorded.
Realtime Erasing
You can erase bits of stuff from the current track or pattern in
realtime. Start by pressing the Realtime Recording window’s
F6 (Erase) button to display the Realtime Erase window.
When this window’s visible, hold down:
• F7 (Erase All)—at the desired location to scoop out
everything that’s recorded there.
• a key on the keyboard—at the desired location to remove
any occurrences of its note there.
• a low key and high key on the keyboard—at the desired
location to erase all of the notes in-between them there.
The Note Range Min and Note Range Max readouts in the Realtime Erase
window show the low and high key you’ve selected, respectively.
When you’re done, press F8 (Close) to exit the Realtime Erase
window.
