Arranging audio samples to create a song—Sequence
Recording pad operations as you play pads—Realtime Recording
Realtime recording of pad operations is when the timing at which pads are pressed
and released is recorded in the sequence track. Since the actual sounds that you are
hearing are not being recorded anew in the sequence track, this does not reduce the
remaining time available for recording. Nor is it necessary to set the recording level.
However, it is not possible to apply effects while you record pad operations, or to
layer the sounds of multiple pads in the same sequence track. If you play two or
more pads simultaneously, only the last-played pad operation will be recorded.
