Quick Song Recording and Playback
The available values for the Channel parameter on this page are 116 (local and MIDI), 1L16L
(local only, no MIDI), and 1M16M (MIDI only, no local).
Quick Song Recording and Playback
There are three buttons—labeled Record, Play/Pause, and Stop—below the mode selection
buttons. They control the recording and playback of songs from any mode; you don’t have to be
in Song mode to record or play back.
Using these buttons affects the current track of the current song—that is, the song and track that
were selected the last time you were in Song mode. When you record, the recording track and
recording mode are determined by the current settings in Song mode; likewise for the playback
mode when you’re playing a song.
When the sequencer status is STOPPED (neither the Record-button LED nor the Play/Pause-
button LED is lit or ashing), press Record to put the sequencer in REC READY status. The
Record-button LED lights (red). Then press Play/Pause to start recording. The Play/Pause-
button ashes (green) to indicate the tempo. Any countoff is determined by the current Song-
mode setting for the CountOff parameter. Press Play/Pause or Stop to end recording and go to
the Save dialog, where you can save the song, or trash it.
When the sequencer status is STOPPED, press Play/Pause to begin playing the current song.
Press Play/Pause again to pause playback, and again to resume. Press Stop to end playback.
