Using A Sound You Sampled - Roland MC-909 Quick Start Manual

Creating an original song (pattern)

■ Using a sound you sampled

Here's how you can sample a sound (waveform) from a CD or other external audio
source, and use that sample to create a patch / rhythm set.
In this example we will use a CD player connected to the INPUT L/R jacks, and
sample a phrase from the included sample data CD.
Connect your CD player to the MC-909 before you continue.

To prevent malfunction
and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always
turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all
devices before making any
connections.
When you set Input Select

volume of the connected
device will become
extremely loud. Before you
change the Input Select
setting, make sure that the
connected device is not
producing sound.
