•Track: The track of the Sequence over which you will be recording – "DRUMS" or "ACCOMP."

•Rec Type: How the performance will be recorded. When "RECORD" is selected, the performance you record will replace the recording on that Track of the Sequence. When "OVERDUB" is selected, the performance you record will be added to the existing recording on that Track of the Sequence.

•Quantize: The quantization level of the recording. When on, this function will "snap" all recorded notes to the nearest interval of that measure, which you select. (For instance, if you select "1/8," any notes you record that do not fall on an eighth-note pulse will be shifted automatically to the nearest one.) The range is 1/4 – 1/64 (regular or triplet) and "OFF."

•Swing: The amount of swing applied to the recording – 54%, 58%, 62%, or "OFF."

6.Press the module's REC button and record your performance.
