10.4 LIVE RECORDING MODE

LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this recording mode, the [TRIG] keys are played in real-time to input trigs to the tracks. You can also use KEYBOARD mode to add note trigs chromatically. It is also possible to enter parameter locks in real time. Trigs input in LIVE RECORDING mode can be automatically quantized or not. Non-quantized trigs can be quantized after they are recorded by using the QUANTIZE menu that is accessed by pressing [FUNC] + [TRIG]. For more information, please see “10.8 QUANTIZE MENU” on page 43.

1. Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode. (Press [PLAY] twice while keeping the [RECORD] key pressed to activate/deactivate automatic quantization.) The sequencer starts to play, and the [RECORD] key starts to flash red.
2. Press the [TRIG] keys to add trigs in real time. You can also use the [KEYBOARD] to play the active track chromatically. If the active track has a Subtracks SRC machine assigned, you can play all eight Subtracks by pressing the [SUBTRACKS] keys. Any changes to the PARAMETER page´s settings made using the DATA ENTRY knobs are recorded as parameter locks and add lock triggers where needed.
3. Press [PLAY] to exit LIVE RECORDING mode while keeping the sequencer playing. If LIVE RECORDING mode is active and [RECORD] is pressed, GRID RECORDING mode will be activated.
4. Press [STOP] to stop both recording and playback of the sequencer.

You can use an external MIDI controller such as a keyboard to input NOTE, TRIG VELOCITY, and TRIG LENGTH data in LIVE RECORDING mode. Just play the notes on the external keyboard, and the sequencer will record them. The first note sets the TRIG VELOCITY value for all notes on the trig. The last note that is released sets the TRIG LENGTH for all notes on the trig.
