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. Any notes recorded will be automatically quantized to the nearest step.
There are two live recording modes available; overdub ("dub") and erase ("rec");
- Overdub keeps any steps intact as the playhead moves over them, only erasing previous step entries if they are being replaced.
- Erase starts erasing every step the playhead moves over, but only starts doing that once your play the first note. It is particularly useful for re-doing takes or portions thereof.

Most modern Linux distros allow you to pair with your Woovebox, after which it can be used system-wide as an input and output MIDI device automatically.
- macOS (under Pairing your Woovebox)
In the MIDI Studio window, click the Configure Bluetooth button (Bluetooth icon) in the toolbar.
