These controls are similar to the MIDI live input controls.

When clicked and illuminated, the record button arms the buffer for recording. It does not start recording until the first beat that advances the grid.

1. Save/Load/Clear Live Input Session

Save the current a audio live session. These sessions are saved as folders (see saving and loading files ) containing two (2) files:

  • an audio file in WAV format
  • a JSON file containing beat, note, label, and repetition metadata, so that this can be reloaded into a Live Input session.

Note: to save and load an audio file, you actually save and load a folder. Just name the folder in the dialog window, and the folder will be created and appropriately named files (.wav and .json) will be saved in the folder. For loading, choose the folder from the dialog.

2. Input Track Repetitions

Each oval in the track represents a repetition of the current looped section. When recording, each time the end of the section is reached, a new oval will illuminate.

3. Maximum Number of Repetitions

This selects the maximum number of repetitions that can be recorded. The default is 16.

4. Recorded repetitions

There are two audio live input tracks. They use audio outs are 1 and 2. Ovals can be selected to be played if the corresponding input oval is illuminated.

Volume Dial

Changes the volume of the MIDI track. If you click just above the dial, the dial will reset to its default value of 80.

Active Button

If not illuminated, the MIDI track will not be audible, and its volume in the volume meter will be gray. When illuminated, the MIDI track will be audible.

Solo Button

When illuminated, this will “solo” the MIDI track. If a single track is soloed, it is the only track that you will hear. If several MIDI tracks are soloed, only these tracks will be audible. If no tracks are soloed, all the tracks will be audible.

Volume Meter

Shows the level of the MIDI output. When a track is inactive, this will be grey. When active, the output will be green, orange, and red, depending on the volume level.
