The MT 300s's Recording Functions

The MT 300s allow you to create ensemble works with ease.
A Variety of Ways to Record
There are four ways to record with the MT 300s.
• Replace Recording
New material is recorded as previously recorded material is erased (p.67).
• Mix Recording
Newly recorded material layered on previously recorded material (p.68).
• Loop Recording
A specified segment of the song is repeated, and the different sounds recorded with
each pass are layered on one another (p.69).
• Patch-In Recording
While listening to a recorded performance, only a specified segment of the perfor-
mance is rerecorded (p.70).
Although the MT 300s is normally set to "replace" recording, set each of the four
recording modes according to your particular situation.
The Relationship Between Track Numbers and Parts
The sixteen separate parts of the 16-track sequencer correspond to the MT 300s's five
track buttons as shown below.
Track Button
Part
For example, if you select the [1] button and then record, material is actually recorded
to Part 1.
However, the [R] button and [2] button include multiple parts; when the [R] is selected
for recording, the material is recorded to Part 10; when the [2] button is selected, the
signal goes to Part 2.
On commercially available Roland SMF music files, Part 11 is included on Track 2. The corre-
NOTE
spondence of the other parts' track buttons is identical.
