To insert new notes by using real-time recording
- Maximize a sequence track or pattern part editing window. If you are editing a pattern part, be sure the variations into which you want to place notes are active. For more information, see Note Editing Windows and Part Variations.
- Click the Toggle Recording Button.
- Click the Play Button.
- Play the MIDI device. All pressed keys are recorded with the timing and velocity you generate through the input device.
When you record to Pattern Editor in real time, the pattern loops repeatedly, as it does during playback, until you click the Stop Immediate Button. Each time the pattern loops, notes you play on the MIDI device are recorded in the pattern and may cover notes already in the pattern. You can avoid covering notes by clicking a Variation button to activate or deactivate a variation.
