With the sequencer stopped in the default pattern view, I can press record and play and everything works as expected. However if I press play then engage rec/edit the red light doesn’t come on rec/edit and it doesn’t record. I swear in the old OS, pressing rec/edit would engage recording at any point in pattern mode.
According to the manual it does seems to suggest you need to “re-engage” the button implying u must have started in record mode. So can you no longer press record after pressing play? Sorry if I’m being stupid.
“While recording, press Rec/Edit to disengage and reengage recording without stopping
playback. This allows for practicing changes. You can play over top of the pattern without
changing it. It is also a good way to audition parameter changes. For example, you can tweak the
pitch and press a pad until it sounds just right, then press Rec/Edit again to reengage recording,
then press pads to add them to the pattern.”
