Retrospective Record
Performs retrospective MIDI recording. If the Retrospective
Record function is enabled in the Preferences (Record–
MIDI page), and a MIDI track is record enabled, any MIDI
notes you play in stop mode or during playback are cap-
tured in buffer memory. If you then select Retrospective
Record, the MIDI notes you played – i.e. the contents of the
buffer memory – are turned into a MIDI part on the record
enabled MIDI track. The MIDI part will appear where the
cursor was when you started playing.
