Erasing Notes and Adding Notes in Realtime
You can easily fix any wrong notes you've recorded without stopping the MC-909. Simply
erase the notes you don't want, and then add in the ones you do want.
1. Press F2 (Erase)—the Realtime Erase window opens.
2. Turn VALUE to set Erase Type to NOTE.
3. Just before an unwanted note plays, hold down its pad for a
moment and then let go. The note doesn't play, and it's erased
from the sequence.
4. Repeat these steps for any notes you want to remove.
If you'd like to remove a group of notes—such as those in a chord—at once, hold down the
pads for the lowest and highest notes you want to get rid of wherever they were recorded.
5. Press F5 (Close) to close the Realtime Erase window.
6. To add a new note—or to replace one you've just erased—just play it where you want it
to be. Remember, you're still recording.
You can open and close the Realtime Erase window at any time as you record whenever you
want to quickly get rid of unwanted notes.
There's all sorts of stuff you can get rid of using Realtime Erase, as described on Page 39 in the
MC-909 Owner's Manual.
Recording Performance Controllers
Realtime recording also captures every knob-twist and
slider slide in the MC-909's sound generator area, as well as
any D Beam moves. Let's record some knob-twists:
1. Locate the FILTER CUTOFF and RESONANCE knobs on
the MC-909's panel.
2. The next time the sequence gets back to the top,
experiment with the two knobs together and listen to
how they change the sound of the bass. The MC-909
records your moves and plays them back the next time
the sequence comes around.
3. Keep playing with the knobs until you've got something
you like.
4. Press STOP to finish recording.
If you'd like to keep your recording work, save the pattern again—see Page 19 to refresh your
memory if necessary.
