MIDI Merge/Replace
The MIDI Merge button, located in the Trans-
port window, determines how MIDI is recorded
when overdubbing or punching in. When MIDI
Merge is on (
Merge
mode), recorded MIDI is
merged with existing track material. When
MIDI Merge is off (
Replace
mode), existing data
within the punched region is replaced by the
newly recorded material.
The MIDI Merge button can be turned on and
off during playback and recording. In Loop
Record mode, MIDI Merge has no effect, and the
button is dimmed.
To enable MIDI Merge:

To view the MIDI controls in the Transport
window, select View > Transport > MIDI Con-
trols.
