Rec/Edit Keys

Rec/Edit Keys

These four keys provide a variety of functions

for editing Sounds, Beats, Play Lists,

and Projects.

The Click key

Pressing this toggles the click (metronome) on

or off. The click volume can be changed in the

System: General menu.

Note:

Although Click does use one of the voices, after you have a couple of

sounds recorded you shouldn’t need it and it can be turned off.

The Undo Rec key

If the u

ndo

light is on, this means there is something to undo. Pressing u

ndo

will undo all recording changes made during the last recording pass (since

the moment you started the Beat playing with R

on) and will turn off the light.

Pressing it a second time will R

edo

whatever was removed by pressing u

ndo

. This is a single-level undo.

Holding S

hift

while pressing u

ndo

invokes the u

ndo

ound

command. This

will restore the selected sound to its last loaded or saved status, undoing any edits

since then. This is a single-level undo.
