REAL TIME
Notes are directly recorded in the timing that you play them with variable quantisize mode.
Punch IN
Same as realtime recording, but you can set the point at which recording begins and ends.
Midi Input
using a MIDI keyboard to enter notes and specify their timing and gate time using the QX5 panel switches.
Up to 8 tracks of MIDI data can be stored, edited, saved and loaded independently. Recording is always done on track 1. When you have finished recording a track, you can exchange track 1 with an empty track (2-8) and record again. Time signature is selectable, from 1/2 to 32/16, and can be changed during a track,
Channel information is recorded, and each track can contain independent MIDI data of up to 16 channels. Tracks can be joined, mixed, cut, deleted, exchanged, etc.
