4. Turn the VALUE dial to highlight User Pattern 1, or U:001 Empty. Each unused pattern is
named "Empty" by the MC-909's software.
If you've already saved a pattern in the U:001 pattern memory location, you can select
another pattern labeled "Empty" instead for our example.
5. Press F6 (Select Pattern) to select the highlighted pattern—the MC-909 takes you back
to the Pattern Play screen.
Select a Part for Recording
The recording process always starts with the selection of the part you want to record.
1. If any of these buttons are lit, press them once to turn off their indicators:
• PART
2. Press PART Button 10 so it lights. You've now selected Part 10 for recording.
Part 10 is set up to use a rhythm set called "909 TR-909 1." You can play the pads to check
it out. Since this is a rhythm set, each pad plays a different kit sound.
We'll explain how to change a part's sound later on.
Your First Recording
The MC-909 provides several different ways to record. You can record using any of these
methods, depending on how you like to work or the kind of part you want to record. You can
even switch between methods while working on a part.
