| real time (milliseconds) is used to record. The song will have constant tempo. This works even in MIDI modes that don't send MIDI clock signals.
|
| · | Synchronized to MIDI clock
|
| device must send 24 MIDI clock commands (F8) per beat. Tempo changes are guessed from speed of the clock commands.
|
| · | Delayed
|
| uses time stamps (milliseconds) from the input device. Tempo will be constant even if parts play with different speed..
|
| useful for devices that can't produce MIDI data in real time (e.g. analyzing tools) and send them delayed. This method works well with e.g. Autoscore pitch-to-MIDI software.

| It is necessary that the Windows MIDI device driver is correctly installed and working, that data can be recorded successfully. Some keyboards or synthesizers send MIDI data only in certain mode (e.g. song mode) or need keyboard settings to enable sending of MIDI data. Some keyboards you need to force to send initialization settings (sounds, volume...) through MIDI cable, by pressing e.g. reset button, changing mode or similar.
