press and hold record, then press play. it will entire live recording 
mode (record
LED flashes). then any drum trig buttons you hit and any parameters you 
turn
(if in extended mode) will be recorded. and you might want to lay down a
simple scratch click track first (in grid mode), if you've got nothing 
recorded.

as for recording other synths...you can't record the MIDI in port. but 
if you
have mapped the MIDI channel controlling the synth to say track 16, 
then pressing
the trig button for track sixteen (and any parameter locks you change, 
such as the note value) WILL be recorded. so if nothing else, you can 
record the rhythm of the
synth track and then fine-tune the note values in grid mode.

hope that helps!
