Using Pads/Sequences While You Mix Down - Roland DiscLab CDX-1 Owner's Manual

Using Pads/Sequences while you mix down

You can play sequence tracks and pads while mixing down. This can be done in any
combination: for example, you can mix down sequence tracks and pads together
with audio tracks, or mix down only pads and/or sequences.
Even if a CD-RW disc is not inserted, you can mix down just pads/sequences if
internal memory contains pads/sequences.
* When you mix down using pads/sequences, the time available for the mixdown will
be the remaining amount of sampling memory. For this reason, if you need to perform
lengthy mixdowns, we recommend that you expand the memory. The time available for mixdown
can be checked in the Song Information screen (Owner's Manual; p. 39).
