If you have found a melody and wish to record it live while playing, rather than programming the notes, you can do so.
There are two live recording modes available; overdub ("dub") and punch in/out ("pnch")
To start recording, hold write and short-press play for overdub mode. Still holding write, short-press play once more for punch in/out mode. As soon as you let go of write, a count-in starts. After the count-in, your Woovebox will start playing the current pattern chain, and any keys you press will be recorded to the nearest available step.
