8.2.5. Visual Feedback
If a step in a Pattern has any recorded CC# data in it, its step button will be lit. Otherwise, it
will be unlit.
If there is recorded CC# data corresponding to a main encoder, its LED ring will have only
one LED lit (or one LED lit and one adjacent LED dimmed) to indicate the current value of
that CC#. If the sequencer is running, by 'moving', the LED ring will show the value changing.
If there is no recorded CC# data corresponding to a main encoder, its LED ring will have all
LEDs lit up to indicate the previously registered value of the CC# (plus one dimmed LED at
the end of the ring, if applicable).
8.2.6. Realtime Recording of CC# values
Earlier in this chapter, we looked at recording CC# values in Step Edit mode. Control values
can also be recorded and played back in real-time mode.
Real-time recording of CC# values is no different from recording notes and their
parameters: select the Control Track and press Record and Play. You stop recording by
either pressing Stop or Record. If you do not stop recording manually, it will stop
automatically when the last step of the Pattern is reached.
Again, it's important to understand that Control mode is different from normal mode: if
you're in Control mode and press 'Shift'+ Clr Steps, all CC# values stored in the steps will
be erased, but the notes and note-related parameter values will be retained. By contrast,
pressing 'Shift'+ Clr Steps in normal mode only erases notes and note-related parameter
values in the steps, not CC# data. You can use it to your advantage by recording notes over
existing CC# values or vice versa.
Unlike recording notes, which are only stored in the current step if there is an open gate
(note in ON state), CC# values are recorded continuously: for example, if you record a CC#
value in step 1, this value will be retained to the last step of the Pattern. (You do not need to
record the same CC# value in each following step). If you touch/turn other encoders, their
CC# values will be superimposed on the existing CC# data.
If you touch/turn an encoder a second time during a subsequent recording loop, its CC#
data will overwrite the existing data for that CC number. However, it will leave the data of
other CC numbers unchanged.
8.2.7. Erasing CC# Automations
When Step Edit is OFF, press Erase then turn one of the five knobs to clear its automation
for the current pattern.
When Step Edit is ON, press Erase then turn one of the five knobs to clear its automation for
the selected step only.
