MIDI track recording method
The following explanations are important points for
you to keep in mind as you record your User Songs/
Patterns.
■ Realtime recording and Step recording
With realtime recording, the MOTIF functions in the
same way as a tape recorder, recording the
performance data as it is played. This allows you to
capture all the nuances of an actual performance.
With step recording, you can compose your
performance by “writing” it down one event at a time.
This is a non-realtime, step recording method —
similar to writing music notation onto paper.
■ Replace and Overdub (Song/Pattern)
● Replace
You can use this method when you want to overwrite
an already recorded track with new data. The first
recording is lost, and the new one takes its place.
● Overdub
You can use this method when you want to add
more data to a track that already contains data. The
first recording is not lost, and the new one is added.
This method lets you build up a complex phrase
together with Loop recording (below).
■ Loop Recording (Pattern)
Pattern repeats the rhythm pattern of several measures
(4 to 16 measures) in a “loop,” and its recording is also
done using loops.
This method is convenient when recording a Pattern
Phrase using the Overdub method (above).
As shown in the example below, notes that you record
will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting
you record while hearing previously recorded material.
n Loop Recording can only be used with Realtime
recording.
