2 modes for midi arm record??

Post by Unit1248 » Wed Sep 09, 2020 6:40 am

Just noticed something that I'm struggling to find any references to in the manual. clicking the arm record button twice gets you a different mode visually

If it makes any difference I am using a midi controller. Could it be related to the channels?

You're using a Push or Launchpad?

yeah I'm using a launchpad. Is it something tied to novation products?

I guess it's the implicit arm "feature".
