Hello all.
Registered here to post a couple of questions as I’m doing a bit of due diligence before (highly likely) purchase of a PT+ It seems like my ideal machine but want to go into it with my eyes open. Or maybe it isn’t for me (I think it is!) - who knows.
I’d posted this over on a PT thread on Elektronauts and someone suggested asking over here for a quicker and more accurate response. Here was my last question(s):
It seems you can’t sample into the sample recorder and playback samples from your track at the same time. However it seems you can play the sequencer (wiki article about sampling external MIDI instruments that are sequenced by the PT+)
So what happens if you are playing your pattern and you go into the sample recorder? Does it stop or does it mute the track’s sample output?
Can you play the pattern and have the metronome on so that at least you could sample into the sample recorder with the metronome so that you can keep time when playing something in live to sample it?

Hi and welcome to the community!
You have to stop playback to record into the sample recorder. Metronome can be active when recording but no sample/synth/audio tracks are played back.
Midi tracks however are playing while recording into the sample recorder because they produce no sound, only midi messages. That’s nice, because you can record your external gear while being sequenced by the tracker.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Patrick.
So you can leave playback running (with metronome on) when entering the sampler recorder so that you can hear the metronome while sampling?
Also if you render a pattern to a sample, do you have to disable the metronome to prevent it getting rendered along with your pattern?
You’ll have to stop playback, enter the sample recorder, choose if metronome should be on or off and hit record. Then it counts in and you can record your sample.
No, you can leave it on. It is not rendered with your sample.
I think I read it somewhere. Maybe it was an old bug that got fixed. Or I imagined it!
Thanks again Patrick, much appreciated.
