One button record
Normally, when you want to record something you need to
record enable a track and click the Record button in the
Pilot Zone. Recording will start after a two-bar precount,
and will end when you deactivate the Record button or
stop playback.
Sequel provides a second recording mode that allows you
to record only in the area defined by the cycle markers. This
is very handy, e.g. if you have just one little inaccuracy in an
otherwise perfect recording: you can simply re-record that
little section, and don’t have to record everything all over
again.
1. Set up a track to record on, and make sure that it is
record enabled.
2. Set up a cycle that exactly encompasses the area in
which you wish to record.
3. Press [Ctrl]/[Command]+[R].
The project cursor jumps to a position exactly two bars before the left lo-
cator, and playback starts.
4. After the normal two bar precount, recording will start
automatically as soon as the project cursor reaches the
left locator, and will stop when the cursor reaches the
right locator.
Playback will continue until you stop it.
• You have three options to start this recording mode:
• By pressing [Ctrl]/[Command]+[R]
• By pressing [Ctrl]/[Command]+[*] (“multiply” on the numeric
keypad)
• By [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking the Record button.
Remote-controlling Sequel
It is possible to remote-control certain Sequel functions by
assigning external controllers, i.e. small mixers or keyboard
controllers with USB or MIDI connection and the ability to
send MIDI messages. This way, you can control special
program parameters using the assigned faders and knobs
on your external controller. The control assignment is saved
for the application and will be available for all projects.
You can map the following Sequel parameters and func-
tions to your external controller:
• The transport controls
• The page selection in the Multi Zone (except for the Program
Settings Page)
• The Mixer Page controls
• The controls on the Track Inspector Page tabs (except for the
Pictures tab)
• The tab selection
• The Pads on the Arranger Page
•Metronome on/off
Ö The remote assignment will only be active if the
mapped controls are displayed.
Ö If you assign a MIDI controller or a key on your keyboard
to a Sequel function, this controller or key will be filtered, i.e.
it will not be available as input for Instrument tracks.
If e.g. you assign the note C-3 on your keyboard to remote control an on/
off function in Sequel, you will no longer be able to trigger the C-3 note
with this key. Note that this filter will only be active, if the corresponding
controls are displayed.
Ö If you have connected more than one external control-
ler, use the Remote Controller Source pop-up menu in the
Options section of the Program Settings Page to select
the corresponding input.
