i2]Pattern Write and Play
To store a measure of Rhythm Pattern
into the TR-909 is called '"Write" in this
manual.
There are two main methods of writing,
Step Write and Tap Write.
In either mode, you will hear the Rhythm
you are writing.
1. Step Write
Let us write an example pattern.
[Operation]
(D Make sure that the TR-909 is turned
on but not running. (The TR-909's
Main Keys's indicators flash from the
left to right showing that it is now in
the running mode. So, it is easily
recognized whether the TR-909 is run-
ning or not.)
(à While holding the Shift Button down,
press the Pattern Group Selector But-
ton 2, and it will start flashing. [27^
®© While holding the Clear Button, press
the Main Key 1. This procedure will
erase the Rhythm Pattern previously
written there (Bank 1, Pattern Group
2, Pattern Number 1). Even if there is
no Rhythm Pattern written there, this
procedure does you no harm.
(à) Press the Start Key. You will see the
Indicator on the Main Key flashing
from the left end to the right (from 1
to 16). >
