• x Bar: The recording begins with a count-in of between 1 Bar and 6 Bars (chosen
from the pop-up menu).
• x/4: The count-in’s time signature can be set here. These settings are useful when
the count-in falls across a bar change.
• “Allow tempo change recording” checkbox: All tempo changes made while in record
mode are recorded. For details on editing these tempo recordings, see
• Auto-Colorize Takes checkbox: When this setting is selected, take folders use the color
chosen from the Color palette for the first take recording, but different colors for each
of the following recorded takes in that take folder. All colors used in a take folder are
chosen from the same color row in the Color palette, advancing by a predefined number
of columns after each take.
MIDI Recording Settings
• Overlapping Recordings pop-up menu: Allows you to set the behavior when your MIDI
recordings overlap.
• Create take folders: A new take folder is created when recording over an existing MIDI
region.
• Merge with selected regions: Newly recorded data is merged with all selected regions,
to form a single region. This takes place after each recording is completed.
• Merge only in Cycle record: When recording in Cycle mode, this function merges the
data recorded in all cycle passes into a single region. If not in Cycle mode, each newly
recorded MIDI region will be independent (not merged).
• Create tracks in Cycle record: When recording in Cycle mode, this function automatically
creates a new take track for each cycle repetition. Each previous track plays while
you are recording.
• Create tracks and mute in Cycle record: When recording in Cycle mode, this function
automatically creates a new take track for each cycle repetition. Each previous track
is muted while recording.
• “Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording” checkbox: This setting switches between
the Layer Recording and Multi-Player Recording modes. See
• “MIDI data reduction” checkbox: Controller events are thinned out during recording, to
reduce the data load on the MIDI bus during playback. This improves the timing of
dense arrangements when using interfaces with only a few MIDI ports. The function
actually reduces the duration of controller events, using an intelligent algorithm which
retains the value at the end of a series of controller messages.
