Can't use overdub?

From my search it seems you should be able to press overdub without stoping the seq' I can't, I have the XL is it a setting that I've changed? I've initialised but still no use!

hold overdub and press the play button!

No I said while its running, anyways I sorted it now you have to hold play while its running and press overdub. Sorry for such a basic question but i'm still working on homing those searches down.

haha that's exactly what i said.. ! you just said the buttons the other way around. i know you said when it's running..

The OVERDUB key:
While holding this key, press PLAY to overdub new notes to the track, without
erasing existing notes. You can Overdub from the stop or playback modes.
While the Overdub mode is active, the light above the OVERDUB key is on.
To cancel the Overdub mode, press the OVERDUB key again and the light
above the key will turn off.
