The bar at the bottom of the window indicates track recorder sampling and playback. It rep-
resents the length (or projected length) of the recorder buffer. The two arrows visible when
sampling or playing back samples show the record- and playback positions. The top arrow,
pointing towards the bar, shows the recording position. The bottom arrow shows the play-
back position. To the right of the bar, the amount of sampling time available to the active
track recorder is expressed in seconds as well as in sequencer steps.
When sampling or playing back a recorded sample, the tape recorder wheel will start to
spin.
INAB selects which input or inputs of the input pair AB the recorder should sample from.
Five options exist.
• - will make the recorder disregard input AB when sampling.
• A B will make the recorder capture a stereo file in which the signal from input A is
panned hard left and the signal from input B is panned hard right. This is the default
option.
• A will make the recorder sample from input A. The captured sample will be in ste-
reo even though only one input is used.
• B will make the recorder sample from input B. The captured sample will be in ste-
reo even though only one input is used.
• A+B will make the recorder capture a stereo file in which the signals from input A
and input B are summed.
INCD selects which input or inputs of the input pair CD the recorder should sample from.
Five options exist.
• - will make the recorder disregard input CD when sampling.
• C D will make the recorder capture a stereo file in which the signal from input C is
panned hard left and the signal from input D is panned hard right. This is the default
option.
• C will make the recorder sample from input C. The captured sample will be in ste-
reo even though only one input is used.
