4.1.3. Recording a Pattern
To record a pattern, press the Record button and press the Play button. If the pattern is
already playing, use the Record button to drop in and out of Record mode.
If Impact isn’t running, check the Sync settings (see section [p.68] ).
Now play one or more pads. Whatever you play will be captured as a part of the pattern.
You can toggle individual events on and off in Step mode using the Step buttons. Step mode
is covered in the Pattern Editing section [p.44] .
You can also record using an external MIDI/USB source, but the only steps that will be
recorded are the ones that correspond to the current drum note mapping. For more about
drum maps see this section [p.99] .
4.1.3.1. The Metronome
If you want to hear a timing reference while recording, press the Metronome On button and
set the click level with the Metro Volume knob. The metronome features are described more
thoroughly here [p.21] .
4.1.3.2. Quantize Record
By default, when you are recording in real time the notes will be quantized according to the
time division you have selected.
For example, if 1/16 is the time division value then the recorded notes will quantize forward
or backward to the nearest sixteenth note. And as the pattern loops you can replace certain
notes by playing new ones within the timing range of those notes.
4.1.3.3. Non-quantize mode
It is possible to override the automatic quantizing to some extent. What this will do is widen
the time window for capturing the notes you play. The time division setting is still in effect,
and notes can only fall /- 50% of the time division value.
So it’s not exactly real-time recording, but it does allow quite a bit of freedom. And the cool
thing is that you can shift individual events forward or backward in time. See the Shift Timing
section [p.88] to learn about that.
If you would like to try this method, hold Shift and press Record: The Record button will light
up when non-quantize mode is active. You can re-enable the quantization feature the same
way: hold Shift and press Record until the Record button goes dark again.
