Explanation
Device ID number of a systemexclusive message on the MC-909
A system exclusive message can only be received if the device number included in the message matches
the device ID number set up on the receiving MIDI equipment. Using this function enables different Sys-
tem Exclusive messages to be received by more than one MC-909 unit at the same time.
* At the factory settings, the device ID number is set to "17."
Specifies whether or not each part will receive program changes. When this is "OFF," program changes will
not be received.
Specifies whether or not each part will receive bank select messages. When this is "OFF," bank select mes-
sages will not be received.
Specifies whether or not each part will receive system exclusive messages. When this setting is "OFF," sys-

The length of sound preceding the moment at which sampling was manually or automati-
cally initiated that will be captured in the sample
This lets you prevent the attack portion of the sound from being omitted from the sample.
Volume level at which sampling will begin when Auto Trig is ON
A setting of 0 is the minimum.
Length of silence at which the sample will be divided
Whenever there is a silent region longer than the specified time, the sample will be divid-
ed at that point, and the next sample number will be assigned to the sound that follows.
* This parameter is valid only when you are using Auto Divide Sampling.
Input source of the external input sound
LINE-L-R: INPUT jacks L/R (stereo)
LINE-L: INPUT jack L (mono)
DIGI-OPT: Digital Input (Optical)
DIGI-COAX: Digital Input (Coaxial)
MIC: INPUT jack (mono, mic level)
If this is turned on, the Start point and End point settings will be automatically adjusted af-
ter sampling is performed, so any silent portions at the beginning or end of the sampled
sound are excluded.
