When selecting the MIDI part
•Setting a single channel to
MIDI
All incoming data received via
any of the MIDI channels 1-16
is recorded. When using an
external MIDI keyboard or
controller to record, this lets
you record without having to
set the MIDI transmit channel
on the external device.
•Setting several channels to
MIDI
When using an external MIDI
keyboard or controller to
record, this records data only
over the set MIDI channel—
meaning the external device
must also be set to the same
channel.
Recording each channel with
the same tempo
Use the Metronome function
(page 34) to record each channel
with the same tempo. Keep in
mind that the metronome sound
is not recorded.
Pausing and restarting your
recording
See page 148.
