Creating A Performance For The Bass Part - Roland MC-909 Quick Start Manual

■ Creating a performance for the bass part

Next, we will create a phrase for the bass part.
Here we will use a recording method called "step recording," in which you will
input notes one by one.
Let's input the bass phrase shown below.

Creating an original song (pattern)
Verify that part button [2]
is lit. If it is unlit, press part
button [2] so it lights.
Although the first note is
written here as "A2" on the
musical staff, electric bass
and contrabass actually
sound one octave lower
than written, so you will
input "A1."
