You are here: Encyclopedia > C > Continuous data > Specifying which continuous data you want to record in Transcription Mode

Because continuous data consumes memory and disk space, you may opt not to record all types of this data when you use the Transcription Mode.

To specify which continuous data you want to record in Transcription Mode

  1. Before recording a performance with Transcription Mode, choose Input Filter from the Transcription menu. Finale displays the MIDI Input Filters dialog box. You can directly enter the controller numbers you want recorded, if you know them. It’s simpler, however, to specify the controllers by playing them.
  2. Click Listen. Briefly play each controller or wheel you want to record in your upcoming performance. As you tap each pedal or wiggle each wheel, Finale records their continuous data numbers in the four text boxes. Be sure to also play a note or two, to tell Finale that it should record notes, as well. Any continuous data types you don’t specify in this dialog box won’t be recorded.
  3. Click OK (or press ENTER). Proceed with your recording.
