Matrix recording settings

If this is enabled, a clip will immediately start playing after it has been recorded and it will be looped.

If disabled, the clip will be stopped after its recording and it will be a One shot.

If enabled, recording a clip will automatically stop after a certain amount of time.

This is useful if you know in advance that you want to record, let’s say, 2 bars only. Then you don’t have to reach for the stop button manually.

Defines the length to be used when limiting the clip recording length.

If you enable this, Playtime will record even MIDI notes that you play before the scheduled recording start (e.g. before the next bar). It will interpret those notes as pickup beat and adjust the downbeat setting accordingly.

See Downbeat.

If you enable this, Playtime will automatically quantize a newly recorded MIDI clip after it has been recorded. It will do so using the global matrix quantization grid setting.

See Quantize and MIDI quantization grid.

Set whether playback of the recorded clip (after its recording) should synchronize to the project tempo.

See Sync to project tempo.

MIDI reset behavior that will be assigned to new clips: Recorded clips, imported clips and empty clips created by double-clicking a slot.

See Reset behavior.

This influences how Playtime detects the tempo of imported or recorded audio material.

Playtime uses tempo detection if you import an audio clip or if you do tempo detection recordings. It derives the tempo from the length of the material, which should always give an accurate result if the material is already cut. However, it can easily happen that Playtime detects half-time or double-time tempos. This might result in clip playback being half or twice as fast as you want. By restricting the tempo detection range, you can improve the results.
