Count-In
The Count-in and Record Pre-roll values can be defined in File > Song Settings >
Recording (see “Metronome Settings” on page 626).
This is often useful if the section of the song (just before the part you’re recording)
lacks the sort of rhythmic information necessary to play new parts in time, but there’s
plenty of rhythmic material, once the section you’re recording to gets going.
Options
Record Toggle—Record Repeat
The Record Toggle key command switches between playback and record mode. Record
Repeat repeats the recording from the previous drop-in point.
Record into Selected MIDI Region
Normally, a new MIDI Region is created during every recording. In the Recording
Options (see “Recording Settings” on page 628) of the Song Settings you can activate
Merge New Recording With Selected Region, so that any new data is incorporated into an
existing (and selected) MIDI Region.
Retrospective Recording of MIDI Regions
If you played a great solo while playback was running, but weren’t in record mode—
don’t worry. Simply use the Capture Last Take as Recording key command. All events you
played (after the last Song Position Line change) will belong to the recorded MIDI
Region—just as if you had been in record mode.
All events played live after the last song position line change are included in the
recording. If you move the song position line, the next incoming event will delete the
“Recording Play Mode Buffer”.
Replace Mode
To activate Replace mode, press the Replace button. In replace mode, any newly
recorded data is always stored in a new Region. In addition, any existing Region on the
destination track are cut at the punch in/out points of the recording, and any data
between these points is deleted.
Destructive MIDI Recording
If you select File > Song Settings > Recording > Merge New Recording With Selected Region
(r), and switch on Replace mode, newly recorded events will replace those in existing
MIDI Regions.
The Merge/Replace combination can itself be coupled with the Autodrop and/or Cycle
functions.
