3. Enable the Loop function by pressing [L] or by clicking the “Loop On/Off” button on the Transport Panel:
Loop mode activated on the Transport Panel
4. Click the “L” button on the Transport Panel to move the Song Position Pointer to the Left Locator.
5. Record the track according to the description in “General recording procedure”.
When the Song Position Pointer has reached the Right Locator, the recording starts over from the Left Locator
again and you can record additional notes. Any new recorded notes will be added to the previously recorded ones
and all notes will be heard during the recording.
Continue recording for as many loop cycles you like.
Recording over or into an existing note clip
Recording over or into an existing note clip will simply add new note events to the previously recorded events in the
note clip as described in “Recording notes in Loop mode”. However, If the new recording should start before the orig-
inal clip, and expand into the original clip, a new clip will be created and will engulf the original clip. Let’s have a look
at the following example:
In the picture below, we have the original note clip spanning bars 4-13 on the track:
A note lane with an existing clip
Now, we’re going to record an intro which is going to span the first four bars:
A new note clip recorded on bars 1-4 on the same note lane
The new clip is partly recorded over the original clip. The part of the original clip that has been recorded over is incor-
porated in the new clip; the events from the original clip are now contained in the new clip, and the start of the original
clip has been moved to bar 5, where the new clip ends.
! If you’re recording over or into a masked clip and the new clip engulfs masked events, the masked events will
be permanently deleted! See more about masked events in “About masked recordings and events”.
q Another, perhaps more convenient, way of overdubbing on an instrument track is to create additional note
lanes and record new clips on these using the New Dub or New Alt functions described in “Recording notes us-
ing the “Dub” and “Alt” functions”. This way, you will get a better overview of exactly what you added in each
of your recordings.
