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.

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.
• 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.

To start recording, hold write and short-press play for overdub mode. Still holding write, short-press play once more for punch in/out mode. As soon as you let go of write, a count-in starts. After the count-in, your Woovebox will start playing the current pattern chain, and any keys you press will be recorded to the nearest available step.

While recording, pressing play stops the recording behavior (but not the playback). Pressing play a second time will stop the playback as normal.

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
