®ÂØÒňΠMC-909
While USB communication is turned on, the MC-909 displays its USB screen. To do other
things on the MC-909, you must first turn off USB communication and exit this screen.
When USB communication is turned on, be careful not to unplug the USB cables connecting
the MC-909 and the computer. Just as important, both PCs and Macs must "eject" the MC-909
before USB communication is stopped—otherwise your data may become damaged. See
your computer's documentation to learn how to eject removable media before turning off
USB communication on the MC-909 itself.
Moving Files From the MC-909 to the Computer
Since the computer sees the MC-909 as just another disk drive, all you need to do to move files is
to drag them to the desired location on your computer, such as its desktop or into a folder of your
choosing. To locate and move:
• a sample file—double-click the ROLAND folder, double-click the SMPL folder, locate the desired
WAV or AIFF file and drag it to the desired location.
• an SMF—look for the .MID file that has the same name as the pattern from which the sequence
was exported, and drag it from the USER or CARD volume to the desired location on your
computer.
Moving Files from the Computer to the MC-909
Once again, the computer sees the MC-909's USER or CARD volume as just another drive. As a
result, all you have to do to move a sample or SMF from the computer to the currently connected
area of the MC-909's memory is to drag it there.
We strongly recommend that you drag files to the root level of the USER or CARD volume, and not
into the ROLAND or TMP folder. After you've dragged the file to its destination, you should see it in
the same folder/view as the ROLAND and TMP folders, as shown here.
