Recording type

The PATTERN mode offers four different phrase record-
ing types: two realtime types and two step types.
The REPLACE type records performance data in real time,
overwriting any data already present in the destination user
phrase. The new data replaces the previous data. This is
the type to use when you wish to redo a phrase that you
are not satisfied with or that you no longer need. (page 51)
The OVERDUB type - the second realtime type - records
onto the selected phrase while leaving its previous data in
place. This is the method to use when you need to create a

step recording method - similar to the process of writing
musical notations onto music paper. This method supports
"overdubbing," since events are not removed unless you
explicitly erase them. (page 52)
The GRID type lets you record 1-measure phrases by en-
tering notes on a 16th-note "grid" formed by the white
keys of the RM1x keyboard. The pitch, gate time, and ve-
locity of each note entered can be set via the display knobs.
