Click to open the MIDI Step Record dialog, where you can record by specifying the interval between MIDI notes. Step recording allows you to record notes with very precise timing.

Click to enable MIDI merge recording to build a MIDI part by recording repeatedly into a loop region. MIDI merge data is recorded in real time, and you can add more notes or MIDI controller data each time recording passes through the loop region.

Click to use the metronome during playback or recording.

Click the button to turn metronome countoff on or off, or click the down arrow next to the button to set countoff options.

Metronome countoff allows you to use the metronome to count off a set number of bars before beginning recording or playback in the same way a drummer counts off with her sticks before the band starts playing.

For more information about using and confuguring metronome countoff, please see the Metronome help topic.
