[OK - Keep Take] will save the take that was just recorded.
Copy 1st Chorus to Whole Song
If you have recorded one chorus of the song, checking this at the end of the
recording will copy the same recording to all of the choruses.
Overdub Underlying Notes
You have the option to merge the recording with existing melody. If there is no
underlying melody - this option will be grayed out.
Retain Past Last Recorded
You have the option to keep or erase any melody after the last recorded note.
Step Edit Notes
You can step edit a recorded track, or create a new track in the Edit Note/Time
Etc., dialog. Select Step edit Notes… from the MEL menu.
This feature is very useful if you have recorded a good take with just a minor
glitch. Rather than lose the whole take, you can use the step edit feature to fix
the track and save the take.
Note Number
The note is played out through the MIDI driver so you can hear it. The note is
also drawn on the Keyboard at the top of the screen so you can see it.
Input the MIDI Note Number. There are 128 MIDI notes. Every C note is a
multiple of 12, which makes middle C (called C5 for the 5
th
octave) note number
60. For example, C5 = 60, C#5 = 61, D5 = 62 etc.). In the example above
therefore the note = 64 would be 4 semitones above middle C, an E.
