11.2.1 Recording Your Patterns Live
In Control mode your controller provides many tools to live record Patterns for the focused
Group.
Take your time to set up the pad sensitivity and velocity scaling to your personal taste — you will
have even more fun playing and recording with your controller! These settings can be found in
Pref-
erences > Hardware > Pads . See ↑ 3.6.6, Preferences – Plug-ins Page for more information.
Overdub Mode
Overdub mode is the most usual recording mode. In this mode all pad hits are added as
events/notes, no matter if the Pattern already contains events.
Recording a Pattern: press PLAY then REC and hit some pads!
1. Press PLAY to start the sequencer.
The PLAY button lights up.
2. Press REC to begin recording.
The REC button lights up.
3. Now hit the pads you want to record and listen to what happens.
Each hit will create an event in the Pattern Editor, the event length depends on how long
you hold the pad. Events continue to be added to the Pattern, even as the Pattern cycles.
4. When you’re done, press REC again to stop recording the pads.
The REC button turns off. The sequencer keeps playing until you press PLAY again.
