Recording, Capture, and Bounce
Distinguish pattern REC, sample RECORD, audio Capture, and Loop WAV rendering.
Recording tools
| Tool | Behavior |
|---|---|
| REC | Records pad or MIDI hits, live ratchets, and automation into the active pattern while playback runs |
| QNT | Chooses how live hits land: OFF, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/64 |
| Capture | Records TEMPO-1 audio output as WAV for auditioning, sharing, saving, or bouncing |
| Loop WAV | Renders the current loop as audio, including pitch, CND playback, and effects |
Live pattern recording
- This REC workflow records pattern events. To record audio into a pad, use SOUND > RECORD.
- Arm REC, start playback, then tap pads or trigger voices from MIDI.
- TEMPO-1 writes the hit using the current clock position and QNT mode.
- Repeated taps on the same voice inside one step are captured as a ratchet.
- Live ratchet capture maps 1 tap to x1, 2 to x2, 3 to x3, 4 to x4, 5-6 to x6, and 7 or more to x8.
- A late-hit grace window helps slightly late hits stay on the intended step.
- In AUv3, the host transport must be moving for MIDI or UI triggers to record steps.
Capture and bounce
- After capture completes, audition, share, save, bounce, or delete the result.
- Bounce to a destination voice and user-bank slot, then name and commit the sound.
- Bounced sounds behave like imported samples and can receive step pitch where supported.
