# Combo Record & Playback

## **Overview**

| ***Commonly featured in Action**-**style GAMEPACKs**,* "**Combo Record & Playback**" covers utilizing Paddle Buttons for Record & Playback. |

| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | You can record complex sequences of buttons at your own pace, edit timings to your liking, then play them back with ease. Many games can benefit from this feature, such as Fighting Games, Action Games, Brawlers, RPGs, Sports, & more. {% hint style="danger" %} **Warning:** **Combo Record & Playback** utilizes strict timings to support time-sensitive gameplay. Our team **DOES NOT** condone or advise using it in any game that is prohibiting or actively monitoring for macro use. {% endhint %} With **Action** GAMEPACK, each created GAMEPACK profile, of which you can create 9, includes its own set of **48** recording blocks. The number of recording blocks will vary in other Action-style GAMEPACKs, based on the number of included features. *** Currently, the **RGB LED** should be ![](https://1841283601-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFYraHizgjOptWmwCAGKE%2Fuploads%2FzeO52dpacgtw5kUIE39f%2FRGB_LED_BLUE_TEXTBODY.png?alt=media\&token=069cb52e-a131-41a3-bcbf-912354de4cb2), indicating **NO** active combo: |

Each mode has a matching **RGB LED**. This LED indication will also be present later, during playback:

**After recording your combo**, you can still change its mode afterwards; just via the app.

If you are unsure of which mode to select, expand this drop-down box...

***TAPPING*** the ***PADDLE BUTTON*** again will restart playback from the beginning. *** For all modes,

***TAPPING***

***ACTIVATOR*** will stop playback.

| **To proceed with recording**, refer to the on-screen image; tilting your controller towards you to read the engraved number on each Paddle Button. Each corresponds to 1 of 4 recordable combos. For example, Paddle Button 1 is Combo 1. |

***TAP*** the physical ***PADDLE BUTTON*** that you wish to record to. You will feel a pulsing rumble & recording will begin immediately: | The app will display empty recording blocks up to the number of currently available blocks. |

| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | {% hint style="info" %} **Each time** you trigger an event, such as a button

**press**, button

**release**, or stick

**direction** change, a block will be used up. If an event **DOES NOT** happen within roughly **5** seconds, a block will also be used up. *** **Try to make efficient use of the recording blocks**, minimizing unnecessary controller inputs & wait times. As a space saving measure, analog triggers & sticks will be downgraded to **digital** buttons for recording. You will especially notice stick movement being limited to **8** directions. {% endhint %} It may be a little tricky to get your combo right on your first try. If you mess up, simply

***HOLD*** the same ***PADDLE BUTTON*** to restart the recording from the beginning. You can do this as many times as you need to. *** A recording will end in either of **2** ways. Either you

***TAP*** the same ***PADDLE BUTTON*** to end the recording, or your recording blocks for this GAMEPACK profile will be depleted.

## **2. Edit Combo**

Once your recording has ended, take a look at it. As indicated by each icon, an event can be a button

**press**, button

**release**, or stick

**direction** change. *** If you wish, you can

tap on any recorded time **block**, for example

, to enter a new time between events. Entered values will round **up** to the nearest **10**. For the shortest time between events, try **30**. If your game struggles to register presses, double the time to **60**. *** Any blocks that were recorded after the last event will represent a delay before the combo can loop again. |

Depending on how long it took you to end the recording, there could be a single block or more at the end. You can leave as is, enter ZERO delay, or enter a different value:

You can rename your combo to something more memorable:

| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | {% hint style="info" %} It may be difficult to correctly record your combo quickly enough for the game to correctly recognize it. This is where editing your combo can dramatically help. You can record the combo slowly & precisely, editing the timing after it is recorded to optimize it. *** For example, a combo may be the following: Down D-Pad, Right D-Pad, Right Down Diagonal D-Pad, X button. You can simply take your time recording the sequence slowly. Once recorded, edit the press & release times to 30 or 60 depending on the game. Now when you playback your combo the game will see it as the fluid sequence it requires & you can successfully pull off that challenging to perform combo! *** Of particular note, the Right Down Diagonal is represented as a Down D-Pad press, then a Right D-Pad press in consecutive order, followed by a Down D-Pad release, then a Right D-Pad release. It is important to note that the Right D-Pad press has a 0 timing value, which is how "pressing at the same time" is represented. {% endhint %}

## **3. Playback Combo**

Combo playback will depend on the "**Combo Playback Mode**". On the app, you can

tap the mode that you wish to use... *** ![](https://1841283601-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFYraHizgjOptWmwCAGKE%2Fuploads%2FjW4EsBaHyzwtNPGchSPh%2FRGB_LOOPHOLD_TEXTBODY.png?alt=media\&token=1f329714-747b-4392-a405-621ab0f9f7d8) has you

***TAPPING*** the ***PADDLE BUTTON*** again will restart playback from the beginning. *** For all modes,

***TAPPING***

***ACTIVATOR*** will stop playback. ***

Tap the

back-arrow at the top-left to return to the Dashboard. From here, you can see the **%** percentage of recording space that you have used up on this combo: | You can

tap the small square to quickly cycle through the available modes. |

hold your finger on the small square until it fully traces itself, to return to your recorded combo button information. |

## 4. Clear Combo

{% hint style="info" %} If you want to clear a combo to claim back used up recording blocks, simply start recording to its ***PADDLE BUTTON***, then immediately

***TAP*** the same ***PADDLE BUTTON*** again **before** it can record anything. You should be met with the following screen: {% endhint %}

### **Generator Note**

{% hint style="danger" %} Our team is well aware of attempts to create generators with ![](https://1841283601-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFYraHizgjOptWmwCAGKE%2Fuploads%2FRwMJ2VGNDRBDekUR0kz6%2FRGB_LOOPCOMBO_TEXTBODY.png?alt=media\&token=8c05d196-c083-4256-9dce-d59dcfc0f528). **Macro** GAMEPACK is best suited to this task as it prioritizes a significantly higher recording limit. Upon finding success, please utilize the following setting in safely placing down your controller: * In the

**Controller** section of the **Bottom**-**Bar**, **Block Controller Rumble** can be toggled

ON to block in-game controller vibration, while leaving GAMEPACK indicator rumbles & M.O.D. functionality alone. {% endhint %}
