Creating a Sample-Playing Patch
In order to use a sample you've captured and saved, you've got to set up a patch that plays the
sample. As we mentioned earlier, any MC-909 patch can play your samples, all by themselves or
along with PCM waveforms.
The quickest way to create a sample-playing patch is to use the MC-909's Create Patch feature—
this feature instantly sets up a patch that plays the currently selected sample. Our sample, TR 27
Sample is still selected, so let's fire up the Create Patch feature.
1. Press the SAMPLING EDIT button to return to the main sample-
editing page.
2. Press F5 (Create Patch). The patch-naming screen appears.
3. Name the new patch "TR 27 Patch."
4. Press F6 (Write)—the Patch Write window opens, showing you a list of user and card patch
memory locations.
5. Select the USER:001 memory location.
6. Press F6 (Write). The MC-909 asks if you're sure you want to finish saving the patch.
7. Press F6 (Execute) to proceed.
The MC-909 now thoughtfully offers to assign the new patch to the currently selected part,
Part 16.
8. Let's take advantage of this time-saving suggestion. Press F6 (Execute). We've now saved a
patch that plays our sample and have assigned the patch to Part 16.
In order to keep your sample and patch housekeeping as simple as possible, we recommend
that you save samples and the patches that play them in the same memory area, as we have
here. In other words, if you've saved your sample in user memory, save your patch there, too.
This becomes especially useful when you're saving stuff to a SmartMedia card. By saving
the samples and patches to the same card, you can be sure that any time you grab the card
holding your patches, you'll have also grabbed the card containing the samples they play.
