Use [CS1] to select the desired record mode. The different record modes
are:
OVER (Real-time Overdub)
Material recorded in the overdub mode is recorded "over" any previous
material, so you end up with a combination of the previous and newly-
recorded data.
REPL (Real-time Replace)
Anything recorded in this mode replaces previously recorded material.
That is, previous data on the current track is erased and replaced by the
new material.
