Preparing to Move Data from the MC-909 to a Computer
Getting Samples Ready
Before you begin moving samples, you'll need to be able to identify them. WAV/AIFF sample
files are named on disk according to the user or card memory location they occupy—though a
sample uses the name you created when it's in the MC-909, its disk file is named after its memory
location.
To learn a sample's WAV/AIFF file name:
1. Press the SAMPLING EDIT button.
2. Press F1 (Sample List)—the Sample List screen appears.
3. Select the area of memory where the sample is stored. Press F2 (User) or F3 (Card) as desired.
4. Turn the VALUE dial—if necessary—to display the sample you'll be moving.
5. Look to the left of the sample's MC-909 name to learn the number of its memory location. This
number will identify the sample when you see it on your computer.
6. Make note of the sample's number.
7. Repeat Steps 3-5 for any other samples you want to move.
Getting a Sequence Ready by Exporting It as an SMF
To move a sequence from the MC-909 to a software sequencer, you have to convert the sequence
into an SMF. Here's how.
1. Press PATTERN and turn the VALUE dial to select the pattern containing the sequence you want
to move.
2. Press MENU.
3. Select Utility and press ENTER to display the UTILITY menu.
