Step recording

MIDI data is recorded using step record even if the track is not armed. Loop markers are ignored.

And step recording always uses the Sound on Sound (blend) record mode, regardless of the

current record mode.

With Auto Advance disabled, you must click Advance each time you want to advance to the next

step. While this requires more effort, it also provides you with more flexibility. For example, with Auto

Advance disabled, you do not even need to play the notes at a single step at the same time! You

can play any number of notes one at a time, and they will all be recorded at the same step until you

click the Advance button. You can even record notes of different durations at the same step—simply

record the notes of one duration, change the duration, and play more notes, without clicking

Advance.

The Step Record dialog box has two modes: Basic (smaller with fewer options), and Advanced

(larger, more options). To use Basic mode, click the Bas./Adv. button so that the Adv. button is

displayed. To use Advanced mode, click the Bas./Adv. button so that the Bas. button is displayed.

Here’s a picture of Basic mode:
