• 13.1.3.3. Real-Time Recording a Sequence

  • Start playback, then press Record. A blinking Record icon means the sequencer is waiting for notes or knob movements.
  • During note recording, each pass through the loop replaces notes played at the corresponding steps in the previous pass. Modulation recording runs for one cycle and then stops recording.
  • Playing a note replaces the recorded note at that point. Pressing Hold while recording replaces notes or modulation events at that point with silence; you can fill the gap on the next pass.
  • A DAW can play notes into a MicroFreak set to real-time recording. You can later add knob movement to the modulation tracks.
  • Tip: A longer sequence provides finer recording resolution. Set its length in Utility > Preset > Seq Length; a slower recording rate can make note and modulation placement easier.

  • Note/Info You can start in step recording and press Play to record the remainder in real time. The sequencer cannot switch back to step recording during that take.
