Take

The Take is a temporary buffer for recording and import. It contains the last recorded take or imported MIDI file track in the form of absolute pitches (MIDI). It provides the input for subsequent Figure Recognition or the Harmonizer.

Note: You can create variations of an already rendered phrase by using Parameter > Extract from Output and then recycle that Take by recognizing it again.

Conversion

Drop a Figure or Output to insert their current pitches as a take. Better yet, do a right-click and Extract From Output. This way the current segment properties are preserved in the form of tags.
