To remove automation for a control, hold the Clear button and turn the rotary control above the lane you want to clear. For
example, ‘Transpose’, or ‘Ve Attack’. After clearing a lane, you can then use it for another control.
Recording
Live Record
The SL MkIII allows you to record a ‘live performance’ directly into the Sequencer. Press the Record button on the Transport
to enable live recording. You can also press Record while playing to ‘punch in’ ideas. If the Transport is currently stopped,
however, press the Record button, then the Play button to begin live recording. While recording, any notes played on the
keyboard or from MIDI (both USB and DIN) will record into the Sequence.
When recording from MIDI, Parts will record only the notes received on the selected MIDI channel for that Part. Notes are
also forwarded to the output of that Part, whether recording or not.
While live recording, ‘note on’ events are quantised to the sync rate of the playing pattern; ‘note off’ events are quantised
to the nearest 24 PPQN tick. The sequencer will loop through each pattern chain, which allows you to overdub new notes
as the sequence repeats. Set up your desired Pattern Settings (see “Sequencer view” on page 6/”Options” on page
7/”Patterns view” on page 10) and Pattern Chain length (see “Sequencer view” on page 6/”Patterns view” on
page 10) to accommodate your performance before you begin recording.
Momentary Record
You can use Momentary Record so the Sequencer only records notes whilst the Record button is held down. To enable
Momentary Record, press and hold the Record button while the Sequencer is playing, while Record is held, play the notes
you wish to add. You can then release the Record button to stop recording leave the Sequencer playing.
Record Quantise (Non-Quantised Record)
For a less rigid performance, you can record using Non-Quantised Record. If you disable record quantisation, any notes you
record live will record to the nearest Tick (1/6th) of a step. To enable/disable Non-Quantised Record Press Shift and the
Record button. The 5th screen will briefly show the status of Record Quantise.
You can edit the position of the recorded notes between step using the Micro-steps view (see “Micro-steps” on page 9
for more details).
