Replace Mode

When recording in Replace mode the events of the selected Sound(s) are replaced by what you

play.
1.

Select the Sound(s) of which you want to replace events: In Pad Mode you can select
multiple Sounds (see section

5.1.3, Selecting Multiple Sounds or Groups

); in Keyboard

mode only the focused Sound (the one played by your pads) will have its events replaced.

2.

Press

PLAY

to start the sequencer.

The

PLAY

button lights up.

3.

Press

ERASE

+

REC

to begin recording in Replace mode.

The

ERASE

REC

buttons light up.

4.

Hit the pads you want to record.
Each hit will create an event in the Pattern Editor, the event length depends on how long
you hold the pad. Existing events for the selected Sound(s) are deleted as they are
reached by the playhead.

5.

When you’re done, press

REC

again to stop recording the pads.

The

ERASE
