Overdub Tracks - Sequential Max Operation Manual

g. Play the notes for the basic track(s). Recording starts automatically with the
first note you play.
i. To stop recording, in time with the desired ending, either:
1. Press Record, switching it off. The track(s) play back,
or, 2. Press Stop. The tracks do not playback. (If desired, press Start.)
NOTE: If the ending of the song was not recorded correctly, the song will not
loop in correct time. To correct, erase the track and re-record. (It may take a
little practice to get used to ending a song at the correct time.)
5. TO OVERDUB TRACKS:
You can overdub either while the sone is in playback (Method 1), or exactly from the
beginning, when it is stopped (Method 2):
Method 1
a. Select and start song.
b. Adjust playback speed to desired rate.
c. If desired, adjust volumes of track(s) which are playing back.
d. Select the sound desired for this overdub. (You can try various sounds by
playing live on the keyboard.)
e. Switch Record on. It blinks.
f. Switch on desired overdub tracks.
Note: Record and these Track switches now blink, but only until the end of the
current loop. During this first loop, while Record blinks, anything played on the
keyboard is ignored.
g. While Record blinks, hold keys for any notes which you want to record
exactly at the start of the song.
h. When this loop ends, Record lights and recording begins when you play.
i. Play the overdubbed part through the current loop. When the loop ends, the
overdubbed tracks play back with the others.
j. To overdub more tracks, repeat from step b.
Method 2
a. Select the song.
b. Switch Record on.
c. Switch on tracks to be recorded.
d. Hold key(s) for downbeat note(s) (if any).
e. Press Start.
Note that is possible to overdub notes on a track which you have already already
recorded. (For more practical information on overdubbing, see the example which
follows.)
