Track Mode

A track can contain multiple channels, whether recorded or imported via MIDI file.

Regardless of channels, a MIDI file cannot have more then 48 tracks or it won’t load.

The counter display may slow when large amounts of data are being recorded because it is being given a low priority by the computer.

This does not affect the accuracy of the recording.
