Transport Functions
This is often useful if the section of the song just before
the part you’re recording lacks the sort of rhythmic infor-
mation necessary to play new parts in time, but when
there’s plenty of rhythmic reference, once the section
you’re recording to gets going.
Record Options
Record Toggle (default: space bar) switches between play-
back and record mode.
Record into selected sequences: Normally a new sequence is
created during every recording. Under Options > Settings
> Recording Options… you can activate Merge New Record-
ing With Selected Sequences, so that any new data is incor-
porated into an existing sequence, when this sequence is
selected.
Replace Mode: To activate replace mode, press the re-
place button. In replace mode, any newly recorded data is
always stored in a new sequence. In addition, any existing
sequences on the destination track are cut at the punch in/
out points of the recording, and any data between these
points is deleted.
Destructive MIDI Recording: If you select Merge New
Recording With Selected Sequences (r) and switch on replace
mode (the recording head symbol in the Transport win-
dow), the new events you record will replace the ones in
existing sequences.
The Merge/Replace combination can itself be coupled
with the Autodrop and/or Cycle functions.
Recording in Cycle Mode
All settings for recording in cycle mode can be made in the
Recording Options of the Song Settings (see page 278).
You can either use several cycles to record a single se-
quence (Merge only New Sequences in Cycle Record
checked), or you can create a new sequence for every cycle
(…unchecked). A new track can be automatically created
for each of these sequences (Auto Create Tracks in Cycle
Record). The sequences you create can also be automati-
cally muted (Auto Mute in Cycle Record). This mode is very
well suited to recording several consecutive versions of a
solo, and then picking the best one.
Cycle and Replace: During a cycle recording in replace
mode, existing sequences are deleted during the first cy-
cle, from the punch-in point to either a punch-out point or
up to the end of the cycle. When the second cycle begins,
recording continues, but no more sequences are deleted.
