every cycle during which there is any data input. All se-
quences made during previous cycles are automatically
muted. If the Auto Create Tracks in Cycle Record function
(described next) is not active, all the sequences are layered
onto one track. This function deactivates both the merge
functions.
Auto Create Tracks in Cycle Record: While recording with
Cycle Mode enabled, this option creates a new track with
each new cycle, when there is data input. The recorded se-
quences from earlier cycles are pushed down to the tracks
below, so the “oldest” tracks end up at the bottom. This
function deactivates both the merge functions. This func-
tion is useful when, for example, you are doing multiple
takes of a solo, while cycling a section of music. Record-
ings made during each repetition of the cycle will appear
on their own track, making it easy to sort through them
when you have finished recording.
Allow Tempo Change Recording: All tempo changes made
in record mode are recorded. For details on how to edit
these “tempo recordings”, please see the section Tempo
from page 260 onwards.
MIDI Data Reduction: Controller events are thinned out
during the recording, to lessen the data load on the MIDI
bus during playback. This improves the timing of dense
arrangements on interfaces with fewer MIDI ports. The
function actually reduces the duration of controller events,
using an intelligent algorithm which retains the value at
the end of a succession of controller data.
Click while recording: The metronome click is automati-
cally switched on for recording. This is the same as activat-
ing the metronome switch in the transport panel during
the recording.
Click while playing (p): The metronome click is automati-
cally switched on for playback. This is the same as activat-
ing the metronome button in the transport panel during
playback.
Polyphonic Clicks: The MIDI metronome sends all notes
defined and activated for bars, beats and divisions. For ex-
ample, at the beginning of each measure, two or three
notes may be sent simultaneously. If the option box is not
checked, then the metronome only ever transmits one
note at a time.
Speaker Click: This sends the metronome click to the com-
puter loudspeaker.
MIDI Click: The metronome click is sent out as a MIDI
note.
