Recording your pad performance just as
you play (Realtime Recording)
Realtime Recording is the recording method in which your playing on the pads and
your controller operations are recording exactly as you perform. This method is best

2. Use (up/down) to select the track you want to record.
Recording occurs on the current track.
3. Press
The [REC] indicator will blink, and the RECORDING PARAMETER (MIDI) popup (p.
211) or RECORDING PARAMETER (AUDIO) popup (p. 214) will appear.
4. Set the parameters for realtime recording.
