Quick Start Guide
8. MIDI recording to Song Tracks
Basic Structure (page 51) · Reference (page 183)
Now, take your basic building blocks and move over to the Song mode to do some more work on your song. Let’s say
for the sake of example that you’ve recorded MIDI data for nearly all the tracks — except for maybe some rhythm
guitar parts and some solos on piano and organ. The MOTIF gives you two methods of recording these. Realtime
recording lets you record much as you would with a tape recorder, playing the parts in real time while you listen to
the backing rhythm tracks you created earlier. The other method, Step recording, lets you enter each note
individually, much like writing down the notes on paper.
