Is Retrospective Recording quantised in any way?

robosardine

I get that it records the last bars of the loop, but is it quantised in any way? If you are recording a drum loop and you press slightly early does it wait till the end of the bar and give you the exact measure or does it give you the timing based on when you pressed it?

There are two flavors of retrospective recording. When you use the Quantized option, it fills in the last complete master cycle (as long as there has been one or completed cycles).

Let's say the master cycle is set to 4 bars. If the clock has run four more more bars, you get the last completed cycle of 4 bars. Where completed means, "starting and ending at 12 o'clock". So, after the first cycle has completed, you can tap pretty much any time before cycle 2 ends to capture what you played in the first cycle.

If you turn off quantized, you get the the last master cycle number of bars up to the time you pressed. It counts backwards from the moment you tapped rather than counging backwards from when the last cycle completed.

Right - thanks. I hadn’t come across the quantised icon option. I better get searching for that 😀

Quantized is the default option:

Ah, thanks for this @robosardine and @espiegel123

Bite sized, socratic method, single topic posts like these are the holy grail of learning, for me at least.

I can envisage a user guide like a series of topics covered as above… that would be ace. Off-topic musing, I know.
