Recording with Count-in

Count-in allows you to start the metronome before the sequencer and recording begins. This is
very handy if you want to start recording a Pattern exactly on the downbeat.
When recording starts with a Count-in, the following happens:
▪ The playhead jumps to the beginning of the Loop Range.
▪ You hear the metronome alone during the count-in phase (1, 2 or 4 bars).
▪ After the count-in phase, the recording starts in Overdub mode (see
Your Patterns Live). The metronome turns off if it was off before the Count-in, otherwise it
stays on.
You can adjust the metronome9s volume, time signature, and downbeat/upbeat sounds. See section
±11.2.2, Using the Metronome
If the current Loop Range does not start at the beginning of a bar (i.e. on a downbeat), the
count-in phase will start with a downbeat, count the selected duration (1, 2 or 4 bars), and
then add the offset between the beginning of the bar in which the beginning of the Loop
Range is placed and the actual beginning of the Loop Range:
