Recording live

If you have found a melody and wish to record it live while playing, rather than programming the notes, you can do so by holding write and pressing play (make sure you are on the sequencer page first).

Your Woovebox will start playing the current pattern chain, and any keys you press will be recorded to the nearest available step.

There are two live recording modes available; overdub ("dub") and punch in/out ("pnch")

• Overdub keeps any steps intact as the playhead moves over them, only erasing previous step entries if they are being replaced. While recording, pressing play stops the recording behavior (but not the playback). Pressing play a second time will stop the playback as normal.
• Punch in/out starts erasing every step the playhead moves over, but only starts doing that once your play the first note ("punch in"). It is particularly useful for re-doing takes or portions thereof. Pressing play stops recording ("punch out") but not playback. Pressing play a second time will stop the playback as normal.

To start recording, holding write, then short-press play. As soon as you let go of write, a count-in starts, after which recording starts.

By default micro timing is recorded along with your performance. So if you were a little late or early, this is recorded for each recorded step. You can manually adjust the micro timing (shift/"shft" parameter when editing an event). In order to adjust timing while recording or after recording, you may also;

• Add "groove" non-destructive swing or progressive quantization to steps (9/A1/"Grve" on a track's GLob page)
• Engage auto-quantize while live recording (hold write, then long-press play to toggle it on or off)
• Apply "destructive" quantization ("qant pttn") via the Sequencer ("SEq") page's context menu
