Take Functions - Akai DR16 pro Operator's Manual

Take Functions

The DR16pro gives you the ability to record up to five takes of a recording, allowing you to com-
pare different takes or replace the current recording with data that was stored as a take.
The Take functions are similar to the Undo function, only much more versatile. When you press the
UNDO key, you can only compare two recordings — the old and the new (see "Recording Undo"
on page 44). With the Take functions, you can compare five stored takes plus the new and old
recordings.
The following diagram illustrates the take function:
Storing a Take
1) Make a recording of some material.
See "Recording Undo" on page 44, and "Arming Tracks" and "Starting & Stopping Recording"
on page 38.
2) Press the RESERVED key.
The red LED beside the RESERVED key flashes and the green LEDs beside the available
TAKE1 to TAKE5 keys flash. The LEDs beside TAKE keys with data are turned off.
The message "R ES E RVE D " will appear on the display.
3) Press the TAKE key you want to use to store the recording.
When the take is stored, the LED lights up beside the corresponding TAKE key.
