Thanks for the reply. I did a search for chords and re-stumbled upon 'Plucked-Jazzhands'. Looks like this is some kind of preset where they have named one of the master controls 'strum speed'. Looks like it controls the rate in an arpeggiator.

nope - the loop button is pressed and green.

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to overdub record midi patterns (14.3.3 in the live 5 manual) without using Impulse or Simpler. I'd like to be able to record drum parts in the same way but using my midi keyboard to trigger sounds on an external sound module or individual samples.
