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 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.
