◆About the recording track

When recording patterns, you’ll need to specify the track to be recorded — just as is done in Song recording. The operations differ depending on the specific phrase assignments, as described below.

• If the preset phrase is assigned to the track...

You cannot record. Even if you specify the track to which the preset phrase is assigned and try to record, an error message will appear.

• If the user phrase is assigned to the track...

The data of the user phrase assigned to the specified track is overwitten by recording.

• If the phrase is not assigned to the track...

Recording is donw to an empty user phrase. The newly created phrase is automatically assigned to the recording track.
