 To Record Realtime Controller Data
__
__
Too much controller
information can clog the
sequencer causing sluggish
performance and sloppy timing.
Use the “Thin Events” function
(page 79) to reduce the amount
of controller data in the pattern.
You can mix and embellish your patterns by recording continuous
controllers along with note data.
1. Start by recording and saving a pattern.
Recording Quick Edits
The Quick Edit knobs are only active on the Basic Channel (the channel
currently displayed in the Preset View screen).
2. Select Quick Edit mode by pressing the Controller Function Select
button.
3. Select the channel with the preset you wish to Quick Edit.
4. Practice your knob movements before recording by Playing the
pattern and twisting the knobs.
5. When you’re ready to record, press Record while the sequencer is
playing (to punch-in), then perform the knob movements.
Record Multitrack Volume and Pan Information
You can record Volume and Pan information for all 16 channels simulta-
neously by using Volume Knob mode. You’ll be recording multichannel
volume or pan data onto a track. The default channel assignment will
rechannelize this data to a single channel. You must change this.
6. Select a track for the Realtime Controller data.
7. Press the Pattern Edit button and scroll to the “Channel Assign” page.
8. Set the track to MultiA. Now the track will record multichannel data.
