Merge

events are added to the existing part.

MIDI Cycle Record Mode
When you record MIDI in cycle mode, the result not only depends on the MIDI record mode, but
also on the cycle record mode that is selected in the Cycled MIDI Recording Only section.
Mix
For each completed lap, everything you record is added to what was previously
recorded. This is useful for building up rhythm patterns. Record a hi-hat part on the
rst lap, the bass drum part on the second lap, etc.
Overwrite
As soon as you play a MIDI note or send any MIDI message, all MIDI that you have
recorded on previous laps is overwritten from that point. Make sure that you stop
playing before the next lap begins. Otherwise, you will overwrite the entire take.
Keep Last
Each completed lap replaces the previously recorded lap. If you deactivate recording or
press
Stop before the cursor reaches the right locator, the previous take will be kept. If
you do not play or input any MIDI during a lap, nothing happens, and the previous take
is kept.
