Realtime Recording (Replace,
Overdub)
Same as in the PATTERN mode. Refer to page 51.
n
• When Replace recording is used in the SONG mode, only
the recorded measures will be replaced (the entire track is
replaced in the PATTERN mode).
Realtime Recording (Punch In)
Punch-in recording is a special type of realtime recording in
which you specify a range of measures you want to record,
leaving all other material on the track intact. This is particu-
larly useful for re-recording a short segment of an otherwise
perfect track — so you don't have to re-record the entire track.
1 For punch-in recording use Display Knob 2 to select
the PUNCH mode after engaging the record ready
mode (step 6 of the "Preparing To Record" record
process, described on page 49).
2 If necessary select the track you want to record on
via the keyboard as described on page 27.
3 Specify the "punch-in" and "punch-out" points, the
punch-in point being the measure and beat at which
recording will begin, and the punch-out point being
the measure and beat at which recording will end.
Move the cursor to the punch-in and punch-out meas-
ure and beat parameters and set as required. Then,
before actually starting recording, set the measure
parameter a few measures before the punch-in point
so you'll be ready to record when the punch-in point
is reached.
4 Start the punch-in operation by pressing the PLAY
button (there is no count-in when punch-in re-
cording is started). Recording will begin automatically
at the specified punch-in point.
5 Recording will stop, but playback will continue, when
the punch-out point is reached. Press the STOP
button to stop playback.
Recording the BPM Track
The SONG mode has a BPM track in addition to standard
recording tracks 1 through 16. The BPM track can be used to
record BPM changes which will be reproduced when the song
is played back.
To record BPM data simply select the BPM track for record-
ing, begin recording in the Replace or Punch In mode, and
use display knob 4 to enter the BPM changes as required.
