MIDI Merge/Replace
The MIDI Merge button, located in the Transport
window, determines how MIDI is recorded when
overdubbing or punching in. When MIDI Merge is
on (Merge mode), recorded MIDI is merged with
existing track material. When MIDI Merge is off
(Replace mode), existing data within the punched
clip is replaced by the newly recorded material.
The MIDI Merge button can be turned on and off
during playback and recording. In Loop Record
mode, MIDI Merge has no effect, and the button is
dimmed.
