When Instruments are selected the instrument pool for the project is
presented. It is also possible with From-To or Random Fill Type to
populate the steps with multiple instruments across a variety of steps.
Fill FX
When either of the FX parameters is selected in the range, the fill will apply
FX fills. This is based on the effects FX list available within Tracker.

When any of the two FX are selected the Tracker effect list is presented
as 'Fx Type'. The selected effect character is shown under the name. It
is also possible with From-To or Random 'Fill Type' to populate the
range of steps with variations for the FX value setting.

Sequencing Steps
5.7 Live Recording Steps
Live recording offers an alternative to manual recording when programming
steps into a sequence. Each method fits to certain applications better than
others. Manual step recording is useful building complex and precise
melodies and arrangements. Live recording is good for repetitive and
natural sequences. As always this will be based on individual taste and a fit
to personal workflow preferences.
Live recording allows steps to be placed in real time while the sequencer
loops enabling multiple cycles of steps to be recorded.
Live Recording Considerations:-
• It is often useful to set the metronome to on, found in the Config
menu when live recording to aid the timing.
• Recordings can be edited afterwards using the editing tools and
process as described with manual recording. Live recording is
useful to grab quick sequences and edit for accuracy afterwards.
• Recording uses the grid pads just like a drum machine or a
keyboard. The pads are not velocity sensitive so will record at fixed
velocity. Use an external MIDI Keyboard for recording velocity.
• The habit of arming tracks is helpful. Armed tracks can be recorded.
By default tracks will shift recording to the next right track step if the
active step being recorded coincides with an existing step.
• Quantization settings are in the config menu under 'Recording
options'. Micro moves, slightly nudge and offset the note timing and
can also be live recorded.
Tip: The technique of reducing the project tempo for live recording can be helpful
in capturing more precise musical and rhythmic patterns at a slower rate. Turn the
tempo back to it's normal setting once the pattern has been recorded.
