Retrospective Record
Performs retrospective MIDI recording. If the Retrospec-
tive Record function is enabled in the Preferences dialog
(Record–MIDI page) and a MIDI track is record enabled,
any MIDI notes you play in stop mode or during playback
are captured in buffer memory. If you then select Retro
-
spective Record, the MIDI notes you played – i. e. the con-
tents 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.
