How do you record 'a song' from Model:Samples?

This is the workflow I used when I was making tunes on the OP-1… The general ideal is get a good realtime arrangement to reference what I want to accomplish in the end. Then perform each track somewhat while soloing each track. Then arrange and not be afraid to duplicate tracks to make interesting, effected variations and layers.
