R(ecord) Button
Enables the record functionality for the envelope. This button works in a similar fashion
to the record arm buttons in Logic Pro. To stop recording, simply click on the R button a
second time, or use the trigger mode functionality described below.
Record Trigger Mode
The menu to the right of the R button is used to choose different record trigger modes
to start recording (when R(ecord) is active):
 NoteOn: Recording starts when a note is played.
 Note+ Ctrl Movement: Recording starts when MIDI control change messages (for the
assigned controllers—see “MIDI Controller Assignments on page 509) arrive while a
note is held.
 Note + Sustain Pedal: Recording starts when the sustain pedal is depressed while a
note is held.
Recording an Envelope
To provide you with an envelope recording example:
 Set the Record Trigger Mode to Note+Ctrl.
 Enable record by clicking on the R button.
 Play, and hold, a key—and start moving the modwheel or whatever controllers are
assigned to envelope controls 1 and/or 2.
Ending an Envelope Recording
An envelope recording ends as soon as at least one of the following conditions is met:
 The record button (R) is disengaged manually by clicking on it.
 All voices are released.
 A new note is played after releasing all keys.
Following the recording of a controller movement, R(ecord) is automatically set to off
and Mode is set to Env. This ensures that only the recorded movement will be active,
regardless of the stop position of the recorded controller.
