Record CTRL-5

You can also start record in the main menu Play, at line Record :



Record will happen in the cursor track, beginning at cursor's measure.

Usually the MIDI channels are recorded as they appear at the MIDI input port, as long as the MIDI channel combo box of the cursor track displays '--'. In this case please be sure that the MIDI source (external keyboard) will send with the desired MIDI channel.

If you have set a channel between 1 - 16 in the combo box , or if MIDI Locator has set a channel in the combo box after loading a MIDI file, incoming MIDI event's channels will be exchanged with the channel which is set in the combo box. Then you don't have to care about the channel of your incoming events.

This (the combo box channel translation) is not only done while recoring, but at least will influence your recorded events.

Please note that MIDI Locator's Virtual MIDI keyboard has an own channel combo box, those event's channel will never be exchanged.

Use play after record and monitor your recording and then probably the undo function if you think the result is bad.

Note that also MIDI Locator's mixer's fader movement and Virtual MIDI keyboard's Note Ons will be recorded.

Sysex messages and NRPN are filterd out, use the MIDI mixer for entering NRPNs and the MIDI editor's sysex browse function for entering sysex events.

Please read information about the MIDI mixer, to learn about selected instruments on the mixer, "determine and send" resets and record channels.
