Using the MC-09 as a synthesizer
Selecting a pattern
1
Press either the [LEAD], [BASS], or [RHYTHM] button to
select the desired pattern group.
2
Make sure that the display shows the pattern number.
At this time, also make sure that the BPM, OCT, or TONE/TYPE indicators
are not lit. If one of these indicators is lit, press the [DISPLAY] button until
the indicator goes out.
3
Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select a pattern.
“P” in front of the number indicates a preset pattern, “U” indicates a user
pattern, and “C” indicates a pattern saved on a memory card.
You can rapidly switch between preset (P), user (U), and card (C) by holding
down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [INC] or [DEC] button.
* Depending on the pattern you select, the indicator of the [LEAD], [BASS], or
[RHYTHM] button will blink, and the [LOOP CTRL] button's indicator may light
(Loop Control: On). This indicates that the selected pattern includes Loop Control
settings (p. 53).
4
When selecting a pattern from a card, or when switching to
another pattern while the current pattern plays, press the
[ENTER] button to finalize your selection.
The selected pattern number will blink until you finalize it.
* This step is not necessary when selecting a preset or user pattern while the pattern
is stopped.
* You cannot select a pattern from a card during playback. In this case, the display
will indicate “C--”.
Pressing the [DISPLAY]
b
utton repeatedly cycles
the indicators through the
following states: dark ➔
BPM ➔ OCT ➔ TONE/
TYPE ➔ dark ➔ ... .
If you select a pattern for
which Loop Control is
turned on, you will not
hear any sound if a loop
has not been recorded in
the audio looper (p. 53).
Press the [LOOP CTRL]
b
utton to turn Loop
Control off, and you will
hear sound.
If you switch to a different
pattern while the current
pattern is still playing,
playback will change to the
newly selected pattern at
the beginning of the next
measure. However, the
tempo of the previous
pattern will be maintained.
