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 and automation while playback runs; live ratchets require QNT 1/32 or 1/64 |
| 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 and peak-normalizes one fresh pass from the downbeat |
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.
- QNT 1/32 can group repeated same-voice taps as x2. QNT 1/64 can group them as x2, x3, or x4.
- OFF and 1/16 do not group live taps into ratchets. Set x6 or x8 manually in RTRG.
- 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.
