Realtime Erase; Recording Cancel; Tr-Rec - Roland MC-909 Owner's Manual

Realtime Erase

During realtime recording, you can use the velocity pads or the
realtime modify knobs to erase data.
1. Select the part from which you want to erase data.
Select a part in the same way as described in "Selecting the part
to record" (p. 38).
2. During recording, press [F2 (Erase)].
The realtime erase window will appear.
fig.1-**
3. In the Erase Type field, choose the type of data that
you want to erase.
ALL All data
NOTE Note messages
P-AFT Polyphonic aftertouch
C-AFT Channel aftertouch
CC Control change
PC Program change
BEND Bend data
SYSEX System exclusive data
BPM Tempo change data
MUTE Mute on/off
EXCEPT NOTE All data other than note messages
* If you want to erase knob data, operate the corresponding knob of the
panel to specify that data.
4. Erase the data.
• When "NOTE" has been selected, hold down two notes on the
velocity pads or on an external MIDI keyboard, and all note
messages within the region defined by those two notes will be
erased while you continue holding down the notes.
• For other types of data, the data selected by Erase Type will be
erased while you continue holding down [F5 (Erase)].
5. To return to recording mode, press [F5 (Close)] or
[EXIT].

Recording Cancel

Here's how you can cancel the entire content of a recording, and
return to the recording-standby state.
1. During recording, press [F5 (Rec Cancel)].
A message will ask for confirmation.
2. To carry out Recording Cancel, press [F6 (Execute)].
All the data that has been recorded from the time you pressed
[PLAY] to start recording until you pressed [F5 (Rec Cancel)]
will be discarded.
* To cancel, press [F5 (Cancel)].

TR-REC

This is a recording method in which the velocity pads of the MC-909
are used as timing scale buttons to enter note messages.
You can input/delete notes by pressing the velocity pads to switch
them between lit/extinguished. This is an easy way to specify the
timing at which notes are to be placed.
* This method cannot be used to record data other than note messages
(e.g., control changes produced by operating the realtime modify
knobs).

Recording a pattern
Explanation
Pattern time signature
* Can be specified only for
an empty pattern.
Pattern length
* An already-recorded pat-
tern can be made longer,
but not shorter. To shorten
it, use the pattern edit De-
lete Measure (p. 45) to de-
lete one or more measures.
Volume (velocity) of the
notes that you input from the
velocity pads.
If this is set to REAL, your
playing strength on the
pads will determine the ve-
locity that is input.
