Backing Track Sequence Recording (Automation)
First, a definition of automation as it relates to 
VL3X:
 ► You can record your button presses on both 
the Vocal and Guitar layers (including Steps) 
within a Preset while the Backing Track is 
playing.
 ► When you play back the track in the future, 
your recorded button presses are executed 
automatically.
This means that you can theoretically perform 
an entire song with just one touch of a button on 
your VL3X. To do so, you would simply press the 
track start button – and everything else happens 
as you recorded it into the sequence. 
What gets recorded into 
the sequence?
When recording a Sequence, any vocal or guitar 
effect footswitch you toggle (including HIT and 
ALL HIT, plus any STEP changes) will be record-
ed.
What does not get recorded 
into the sequence?
Parameter changes (like panning etc.) are not 
recorded. We don’t track real-time changes to 
things that are “under the hood”.
