6.68 Recorder
The Recorder module is used to record the output of an instrument to a
sound file. This module has two inputs which are respectively the left and right
channel signals to be recorded.
Recording is triggered by pressing on the record button which has a red
LED on it. Recording is stopped by pressing on the stop button located below
the record button. One can record to a specific file by pressing on the load
button located above the record button which will make a browse window ap-
pear on the screen. The name of the file being written onto is displayed above
the select button. The file format is determined by the settings in the browse
window.
The recorded signal is not compressed so that it can be reloaded again without any loss. How-
ever, when the amplitude of the signal is too high, it will be clipped according to the “Soft Clip”
selector on the panel. When clipping occurs during a recording, the red clip LED is switched ON
and remains ON until the record button is pressed again.
Notes:
• Because the Recorder starts recording at the beginning of the file, it will erase what might
already have been recorded. The Recorder has the same behavior if you press on stop and
press on the record button again without changing the destination file.
• For the saturation characteristics of the soft clip, refer to the Audio Out module.
File format supported
• PC: stereo 16-bit wave files. The sampling rate will match the sampling rate of the audio
settings.
• Mac: stereo 16-bit wave or AIFF files.
