▼ While the sequencer is running in REC mode, all of your knob actions, pad ac-
tions, and scene-button actions will be recorded as sequence data into the
song, with each event keyed to the song location at which you entered it (as
adjusted by quantizing).
Position is now advancing. Pad, knob, and scene button
actions are recorded as sequence data.
