Live recording mode not working

hi there,

i have a few questions about live recording mode as I can’t get it to work. been trying to figure this out for a while but totally puzzled with it.

so i press rec + play at the same time. sequencer is running, rec LED is blinking. definitely not in GRID mode.

  1. when i play the keyboard in live rec mode, should the step LEDs go fully lit as in grid rec mode? that what happens in my case. When I stop the sequencer and change to GRID mode I see LED fully ON exactly where I played in Live rec mode. Is this normal?

  2. whatever i play on the keyboard everything gets quantized. I made sure all the quantize settings are off. global quatnize is set to 0, trk quantize is set to 0 but still whatever I play is put on the sequencer as fully lit LEDs and quantized. Quantize live rec is also OFF in SEQENCER CONFIG.

  3. in NOTE menu the µTM parameter is off. all I have is a small circle with a dot over it. turning the knob doesn’t do anything. but in the manual I see a cross with dots and see that it changes the timing offset. How do I turn it on? Why is it off in my a4? Does it have to do something with the issued I described above?

thanks in advance for help with the above. getting sort of frustrated with it.
