6.69 Recorder2
The Recorder2 module is used to record the output of an instrument to a
sound file. This module has 3 inputs which are respectively the gate signal and
the left and right channel signals to be recorded.
Recording is triggered from the module front panel or from the gate signal
according to the gate-trig-none selector. When the selector is at the gate posi-
tion, the Recorder2 module starts recording whenever a low-to-high transition
occurs and stops recording whenever a high-to-low transition occurs. When the
selector is at the trig position, the Recorder2 module starts recording whenever
a low-to-high transition occurs. When the selector is at the none position, the
gate signal is ignored.
Recording can also be 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 appear 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 signal’s amplitude 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 re-
mains On until another recording is initiated.
Notes:
• Because the Recorder2 starts recording at the beginning of the file, it will erase what might
already have been recorded. The Recorder2 has the same behavior if you press on stop and
press on the record button again without changing the destination file or if the recording is
initiated from the gate signal.
• 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.
