Store as a Sample Voice MIDI track recording method The following explanations are important points for you to keep in mind as you record your User Songs/ Patterns. ■ Realtime recording and Step recording With realtime recording, the MOTIF functions in the same way as a tape recorder, recording the performance data as it is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an actual performance. With step recording, you can compose your performance by "writing" it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, step recording method - similar to writing music notation onto paper. Main functions ■ Replace and Overdub (Song/Pattern) ● Replace You can use this method when you want to overwrite an already recorded track with new data. The first recording is lost, and the new one takes its place. ● Overdub You can use this method when you want to add more data to a track that already contains data. The first recording is not lost, and the new one is added. This method lets you build up a complex phrase together with Loop recording (below). ■ Loop Recording (Pattern) Pattern repeats the rhythm pattern of several measures (4 to 16 measures) in a "loop," and its recording is also done using loops. This method is convenient when recording a Pattern Phrase using the Overdub method (above). As shown in the example below, notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. • Loop 1st round Bass Drum • Loop 2nd round Snare Drum Bass Drum • Loop 3rd round Hi-Hat Snare Drum Bass Drum n Loop Recording can only be used with Realtime recording.
