• Recording and playback in the Recorder section cannot be
performed while the CLIP screen is displayed.
NOTE
• The time signature of the metronome is determined by the
tempo map setting immediately prior to accessing the CLIP
screen. Please be aware that the setting cannot be edited
from this screen. (For details on tempo map settings

NOTE
• The metronome sound will not be recorded in the sound clip.
If necessary, you can move the cursor to the metronome knob
and turn the [DATA/JOG] dial to adjust the volume level of the
metronome sound.
• In addition to an instrument connected to the MIC/LINE
INPUT jacks, your performance on the quick loop sampler
pads can also be recorded.
• The knobs/keys of the selected channel are active even while
the CLIP screen is displayed. If necessary, you can record the
signal processed by EQ and dynamics (

p. 50).
HINT
• With the default settings of the AW1600, a maximum of 30
seconds can be recorded in a sound clip. If you continue
recording for longer than 30 seconds, the last 30 seconds of
your playing before you stopped recording will be recorded.
(However, the counter display during recording will continue
to advance.)
• In the UTILITY screen PREFER page, you can specify up to
180 seconds as the maximum length that can be recorded in
a sound clip. You are free to make this setting before creating
a new song, but this cannot be changed once the song has
been created. (
