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 flashing), 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 flashes (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.
