Disconnecting the MC-909 from the Computer
This is a two-step process. First, you've got to turn off USB communication. Next, you'll disconnect
the two devices physically if desired.
You don't have to physically disconnect the MC-909 and your computer. If you prefer, you can
leave them connected and simply turn USB communication on or off as needed.
Turning Off USB Communication
We said this already, but it bears repeating: To avoid damage to your data, don't turn off USB
communication on the MC-909 until your computer has first ejected the MC-909 volume.
1. On the MC-909, press F6 (Exit).
USB communication is stopped and you're returned to the first USB screen.
2. Press PATTERN to return to Pattern Play mode.
Disconnecting the MC-909 From the Computer
1. Power down the MC-909.
2. Unplug the USB devices connecting the MC-909 to the computer.
Importing Samples and SMFs
Once you've moved files from a computer into the MC-909's user or card memory, you'll need to
import them for use.
Importing a Sample
1. In you're not on the Pattern Play screen, press PATTERN.
2. Press MENU, and select UTILITY.
3. Press ENTER to display the UTILITY menu.
4. Press F3 (Import Wav/AIF)—the Import WAV/AIFF screen appears.
5. Select the sample—the .wav or .aif file—you want to import.
6. Press F6 (Import Wav/AIF)—the MC-909 asks if you're sure.
The sample is loaded into live sample memory and selected. The MC-909 displays the Sample
edit screen.
