reference.
Listening to the demo performance
The MC-09 contains a demo performance. This demo also contains the steps of
the procedure by which the demo performance was created, along with various
settings. By playing back the demo performance you can learn about the
features of the MC-09.

1. Hold down the [PROCESS PATCH] button and press the
[
](STOP) button.
The MC-09 first takes you through all the steps that were taken in creating the
demo performance, then the demo performance begins automatically.
Thanks to its Process Patch feature, the MC-09 is able to keep a
record of the procedures you follow, and the settings you make (p. 39).

  • Page 57: About The Tempo

    About the tempo The MC-09 has a single tempo setting that governs the playback. This is called the standard tempo. Although each pattern also has its own tempo, this is separate from the standard tempo. When you select a pattern, its tempo will be loaded and will become the standard tempo. The standard tempo can be adjusted in a range of Pattern, effect control, and loop control will play back according to the standard tempo.

  • Page 58: Using A Memory Card

    Cautions when using a memory card * The power of the MC-09 must be off when you insert or remove a memory card. Inserting or removing a memory card when the power is on will damage the memory card as well as the data in the MC-09.

  • Page 59: Saving A Loop To A Memory Card

    When you save a loop to a memory card, it is saved in the MC-09’s own original format. This means that loops you create on the MC-09 cannot be loaded or used by a personal computer or hard disk recorder. If you want to use an MC-09 loop on a different device, you will have to record the loop onto that device as an audio signal.
