User Manual

▪ When you switch your controller to another mode (by pressing, e.g., SCENE, PATTERN,
etc.).
▪ When you set the focus to another Group.
You can also manually disengage Replace mode and switch to Overdub mode:
►
While recording in Replace mode, press the lit ERASE button to disengage Replace
mode.
→
The recording goes on in Overdub mode (see description above).
You can also erase events without engaging record: If you hold ERASE together with a pad
while playing (or recording), all events of that pad at the current play position are deleted
(see section ↑7.4.5, Deleting Events/Notes).
Where are the Events Recorded?
When you start recording the pads, the events are recorded as follows:
▪ If a Pattern is already selected (i.e. loaded in the Pattern Editor), the events are recorded
in that Pattern. This is also true if the playhead of the Arranger currently is within an au-
tomatic repetition of the original Clip (see section ↑13.1, Arranger Basics).
▪ If no Pattern is selected, engaging record (in Overdub or Replace mode) automatically
creates an empty Pattern with the default Pattern Length. The new Pattern is referenced
by a Clip placed at the beginning of the current Scene and repeated all along the Scene.
You can adjust the default Pattern Length in the Defaults page of the Preferences panel.
See section ↑2.5.1, Preferences – General Page for more information.
When you get ready to record, you can also use the Record Prepare mode on your controller to
quickly create a new Pattern with the desired length and directly start the recording! See sec-
tion ↑7.2.2, The Record Prepare Mode for more on this.
