2.Press [PLAY], and start recording.

Perform using the velocity pads, D Beam controllers, or your external MIDI keyboard.

3.Press [STOP] to stop recording.

Controllers that can be recorded

•Velocity pads

•D Beam controllers

•Realtime modify knobs

•Turntable Emulation Slider *

*: Can be recorded only if assigned as pitch bender or modulation.

Selecting the part to record

1.In the Part Mixer section, press [PART] (SELECT/ MUTE) so the indicator is not lighted.

Part buttons [1]–[16] will select parts.

2.Press the button for the part that you want to record.

You can select the part for recording even while you are recording.

Rehearsal

You can temporarily cease recording without actually halting the realtime recording operation. This lets you alternate between trying out ideas and actually recording, without having to actually perform “record” and “stop” operations each time.

1.During realtime recording, press [F4 (Rehearsal)] or [REC].

[REC] will blink, and you will be in rehearsal mode. No performance data will be recorded.

In this state you can try playing phrases before actually recording them.

2.Press [F4 (Rehearsal)] or [REC] once again, and you will resume recording.
