Re-recording a speciﬁc part of a Song (Punch In/Out)

Use the Punch In/Out recording method to record over only a

speciﬁc portion of the track. In the example instructions

below, you’ll see how to re-record measures three through ﬁve

of an already recorded Song.

Set the Type parameter to “punch” and specify the area to be

re-recorded.

Set other parameters as necessary. See page 222 for details.

nPunch In/Out recording is available only in the Song Record mode.

This is not available in the Pattern Record mode.

■ Recording additional notes to an already-

recorded track (Overdub)

Use the Overdub recording method when you want to add

more data to a track that already contains data. This is useful

not only for recording more notes to a track; it’s also

convenient for adding non-note, sound-shaping data, such as

that of the Knobs and Ribbon Controller.

Set the Type parameter to “overdub.”

Set other parameters as necessary. See page 222 for details.

Playback starts, and the notes (or controller data) you play

are added to the existing data.
