Recording (capturing)
The action of recording into the audio looper is called capturing. You can
capture up to six seconds of sound in each part.
1
Turn the [LEVEL] knob to adjust the capture volume.
2
Press the [CAPTURE] button.
The indicators for the [CAPTURE] button will light, and the [SEL] buttons
of each part will blink, indicating that the MC-09 is ready to capture.
3
Press a [SEL] button to select the part into which the sound is
to be captured.
The indicator of the [SEL] button for the part you selected will light, and the
indicators for the [CAPTURE] button will blink.
* If you capture to a part that has already been captured, the previous contents will be
erased, and replaced by the new sound.
4
Press the [SETUP] button and then press the [INC] or [DEC]
button to make Capture Quantize settings (see next page).
When you are finished making Capture Quantize settings,
press the [SETUP] button.
1: Automatically stop capture after the first measure
2: Automatically stop capture after the second measure
OFF: Stop capture when you press the [ ](STOP) button
5
Press the [CAPTURE] button to start capture.
If other parts have already been captured, those parts will also begin
playing. If you do not want other already-captured parts to play, press their
[STATUS] button to make the indicator blink.
6
Stop capturing.
If Capture Quantize is turned “OFF,” capture will stop at the moment you
press the [ ](STOP) button. If Capture Quantize is set to “1” or “2,”
capture will stop automatically according to the setting.
If you started capture while the loop was playing, loop playback will
continue. To stop loop playback, press the [ ](STOP) button.
* Capture will stop automatically after six seconds, regardless of the Capture
Quantize setting.
Normally, the [LEVEL]
knob adjusts the volume of
the audio signal of the DSP
synthesizer, or the input
from the INPUT jacks.
However, when you are
capturing, the [LEVEL]
knob adjusts the capture
volume.
The state of each part is
shown by the indicators of
the [STATUS] buttons.
Parts that have been
captured: lit or blinking
Parts that have not been
captured: dark
If you want to abort the
capture procedure, press
the [EXIT] button.
You may begin capturing
even while a loop is
playing. In this case,
capture will begin when
the playback returns to the
b
eginning of the loop after
you pressed the
[CAPTURE] button.
