RECORDING IN THE SEQUENCER
157
• Each pattern change will be recorded on a downbeat (at the start of a new bar in the sequencer).
You can move pattern changes to other positions by moving or resizing the pattern clips, see “Editing pattern au-
tomation (Record+Reason)”.
• You can “punch in” on recorded pattern changes, to replace a section of the pattern lane with new pattern au-
tomation events. This can be done the same way as described in “Recording parameter automation over or
into an existing clip”.
• After recording the pattern changes, you can use the function “Convert Pattern Track to Notes”, to transfer the
notes in the patterns to regular notes in the main sequencer.
This allows you to create unlimited variations by later editing the notes in Edit mode. See “The “Convert Pattern
Automation to Notes” function (Record+Reason)”.
• On the Redrum, Matrix and Dr. Octo Rex devices (Record+Reason), you could also use the “Copy Pattern/Loop
to Track” function.
This function lets you convert a defined range of pattern clips into notes in a new note clip. See “Copy Pattern to
Track (Record+Reason)”.
q You can also manually draw automation clips on the Pattern automation lane - see “Drawing pattern automa-
tion (Record+Reason)”
Tempo automation recording
In Record it’s possible to record automation of the sequencer’s tempo. This means that a song can automatically
change tempo whenever you like. You can record tempo automation events on the parameter automation lanes on
the Transport track.
Recording tempo automation
Automating tempo is done much in the same way as with other parameter automation. You record the tempo
changes by changing the Tempo value on the Transport Panel. When you later play back, audio clips will automati-
cally be stretched to follow the tempo changes (unless you have disabled stretch for the clips - see “About disabling
Stretch for audio clips”). Note clips and automation clips will always follow tempo changes.
To record tempo automation, do as follows:
1. Set the desired song tempo in the Tempo display on the Transport Panel.
This will be your static value, i.e. the tempo of the song wherever there is no clip present on the tempo automation
lane.
2. Press [Alt](Win) or [Option](Mac) and click in the Tempo display on the Transport Panel.
This will both select the Transport track and create a Tempo automation lane at the same time. The Tempo display
will also be marked with a border, indicating that the Tempo parameter has been automated.
