To record a drum sequence press the right button.
The blue LED will turn on, and a "click track" (metronome) will
start.
When the blue LED is on, but not blinking, it means that the
ArduTouch is playing a "cue measure". This is a single measure which
plays before the actual recording starts, and lets you get ready for
your performance.
Any notes you attempt to play during the cue measure will not sound,
and will not be recorded.
By default there are 4 beats in a measure.
