<REC MODE>

Use this job to set the recording method for song recording. Two modes are available, as follows. The factory default setting is REPLACE.

REPLACE Entry of a event during a recording pass automatically deletes any events of the same type that were recorded during previous passes. Deletion is track-specific (events only cause deletion of events on the same track) and is limited to the area of the recording pass (see explanation below).

OVERDUB Newly recorded events are added to previously recorded events.

Supplementary Explanation of Replace Mode

Each knob function and each pad function is recognized as a separate event type. Ribbon scratch and scene-recall are also separate event types.

As an example of operation, assume that you previously recorded a 20 measure song (measures 001:1 to 020:4). The song includes a COMPOSED LOOP track with recorded knob-level events, knob-pan events, and note events. It also includes some scene-recall events (which are always stored on the MASTER track).

Assume that you now record a new pass over measures 1 to 10 of this song, and during this pass you enter one knob-level event and one note-event on the COMPOSED LOOP track, and you also enter one scene-recall. The result is as follows.

The new knob-level event causes deletion of all previous knob-level events over measures 1 to 10 of the track.

The new note-event causes deletion of all note events recorded on measures of 1 to 10 of the track. Since this is a COMPOSED LOOP track, this deletion changes the loop phrase itself.

The new scene-recall event causes deletion of all previous scene-recall events over measures 1 to 10. (This is because all scene-recall events are stored on the same track-the MASTER track.)

All previously recorded knob-pan events remain unchanged (since you did not record any new events of this type.)

All events previously recorded on measures 10 to 20 remain unchanged.
