2.4.10 Recording the FREE tracks
Now that the overall form of the song is complete, we have come to the last step —
recording the FREE tracks 1–4 on the sequencer.
■ Recording intro A and B
The FREE 1 track sample which is used in Intro A and B is a long sample that plays
for more than 16 measures.
Since we want to record this from the beginning of the song (001:1), you should first
set a count-in of 2 or 1. (

SYSTEM/SETUP/COUNTDOWN: p.299)
On FREE tracks 2/3/4, we will use the Scratch function of the ribbon controller to
record effect-type sounds at appropriate places.
