Paketti Overdub

Smart Multi-Take Recording System - Records audio into note columns on row 1 of the current pattern, automatically creating new tracks when needed.

How It Works

  1. First recording → Places note in column 1
  2. Second recording → Places note in column 2
  3. Continues filling columns on row 1...
  4. When row 1 reaches max columns → Creates NEW TRACK after current one
  5. Each recording creates new instrument (if current isn't empty)
  6. Each recording trims tail frames, sets autofade/autoseek
  7. Tracks named "OverdubXX", instruments named with PTN:length BPM:xxx LPB:xx

Overdub 12 (4 Variants)

Maximum 12 note columns - Records up to 12 samples in 12 columns before creating new track.

The default mode that writes effects to the track's effect columns:

Sample FX Mode

Writes effects directly to the Sample FX sub-column within note columns:

How it works:

Sample FX-Valid Effects (13 effects):

Code Syntax Description
0A -Axy Set arpeggio, x/y = first/second note offset in semitones
0U -Uxx Slide pitch up by xx 1/16ths of a semitone
0D -Dxx Slide pitch down by xx 1/16ths of a semitone
0G -Gxx Glide towards given note by xx 1/16ths of a semitone
