Overwriting Old Notes While Recording

Help, Support & Bugs
1

Hi guys!

I was wondering if it’s possible to overwrite old existing notes when recording some new in the “follow pattern while playing” -mode? This would help me so much, since I often make small mistakes when I record “live” (in otherwords when the song is playing and I’m jamming along). Then when a new round starts, new notes blend with existing and the result is a mess!

I can manually delete the old notes of course before recording the new ones, but it really breaks my workflow and many times great ideas are lost and forgotten. :(

It would be soooo great if I could just keep on playing and then stop when I’m satisfied! Is this possible to do in any way? Most of the sequencers (like cubase or sonar) have a feature where you just play midi so many times that your happy with it while the old notes are automatically overwritten and the the last round is saved.

If you understood what I mean, please help!

your right. this would be very usefull. maybe there could be an option that automatically deletes all notes on a track everytime a pattern loops more than once before the rec button has been deselected. currently if im playing live all i have to do is shift f4 but many other programs have various ways to punch in the last notes on patterns that where rec.

Or records it in the next note collumn, but mutes the previous attempts, then you can choose the best attempt without it sounding like a mess as you try again to get it just right.
