Undo and MIDI Recording
You can undo previous MIDI record takes.
To undo a MIDI recording:
■ Once the Transport has been stopped, choose
Edit > Undo MIDI Recording.
The track’s playlist is restored to its previous
state. However:
◆ If you punched in and out several times be-
fore stopping the Transport, only the last punch
is undone.
◆ When using Loop Record mode, all takes from
each record pass are discarded.
Canceling a Record Take
It is also possible to discard the current record
take before the Transport is stopped.
To cancel a record take while recording:
■ Press Control+period (Windows) or Com-
mand+period (Macintosh) before the Transport
is stopped.
If using Loop Record mode, all takes from each
record pass are discarded.
