The recording goes on in Overdub mode (see description above).

You can also erase events without engaging record: If you hold

ERASE

together with a pad while

playing (or recording), all events of that pad at the current play position are deleted (see section

11.4.5, Deleting Events/Notes

).

Where are the Events Recorded?

When you start recording the pads, the events are recorded as follows:

If a Pattern is already selected (i.e. loaded in the Pattern Editor), the events are recorded

in that Pattern. This is also true if the playhead of the Arranger currently is within an auto-
matic repetition of the Pattern.

If no Pattern is selected, engaging record (in Overdub or Replace mode) automatically cre-
ates an empty Pattern with the default Pattern Length. The new Pattern is used at the be-
ginning of the current Scene and repeated all along the Scene.

You can adjust the default Pattern Length in the

Defaults

page of the

Preferences

panel. See sec-

tion

3.6.1, Preferences – General Page

for more information.

When you get ready to record, you can also use the Record Prepare mode on your controller to
quickly create a new Pattern with the desired length and directly start the recording! See sec-
tion The Record Prepare Mode for more on this.

11.2.2 Using the Metronome

The metronome will help you to keep time when recording in real time.

Click the metronome icon in the MASCHINE Header to enable/disable the metronome:

The metronome can be heard only when the sequencer is playing.
