Realtime Recording With Realtime recording, the instrument functions in the same way as a MD recorder, recording the performance data as it is played. This allows you to capture all the nuances of an actual performance. Realtime Record features three available methods: Replace, Overdub and Punch In/Out. Replace lets you overwrite an already recorded Track with new data. Overdub lets you add more data to a Track that already contains data. Punch In/Out lets you re-record only over a specific area of the Track. Step Recording With Step recording, you can compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, step recording method — similar to writing music notation onto paper. 40 MOXF6/MOXF8 Owner’s Manual Quick Guide Song playback You have already learned how to play back Songs on page 19.
