*If you selected a pattern from the RHYTHM group, you will be able to input up to three notes at each step. If you selected a pattern from the LEAD or BASS group, only one note can be input at each step. If you select a step for which a note has already been input (i.e., a step whose indicator is blinking), the previous data will be replaced by the new data.

While listening to the repeated playback, repeat steps 12–15 to

[ ](STOP) button.

To exit Step Edit mode, press the [ ](STOP) or [EXIT] button.

While a BASS group pattern is playing, you can use the C3 knob to adjust the accent level.

The MC-09 remembers the settings you’ve input most recently (rhythm tone, velocity, etc.). If you want to use the same settings for the next note you input, you don’t have to change the settings.

If you specified a two- measure phrase and want to change measures, press the [SCALE] button to make the display show the measure number, and press the [INC] or [DEC] button. To see the current measure location, press and hold the [SCALE] button. The previous display will reappear when you release the button.
