Cycle: This plays the MIDI object in a loop during recording. This enables you
to let the object play through a few times before you get started recording your
own melody.
Metronome: In order to play back the proper tempo, you can activate the MIDI
metronome to provide the beats. This is only for orientation while you play and
is not recorded.
Play arrangement during recording: If this option is active, then the
arrangement will play during recording.
Step recording via keyboard or controller keyboard
In the
MIDI editor, so-called "Step recording" may also be executed via the
computer keyboard or a MIDI fingerboard. Activate the corresponding button
first.
The play cursor shows the scope of the current octave for the following entries.
Next, enter MIDI notes step-by-step via the keyboard. Note length and step
length may be specified via the length quantization values. The most important
keyboard shortcut for entering MIDI notes using step recording:
Tab One step forwards (set pause)
Shift + Tab One step backwards
Ctrl + arrow up/arrow
down
Octave entry up/down
CDEFGAH Note entry in current octave
Shift Enter chords
Different notes may be entered without the cursor jumping by holding down
the "Shift" key. This enables chords to be played.
Of course, notes may also be entered in "Step recording" mode via the
controller's keyboard.
