Recording (capturing)

The action of recording into the audio looper is called capturing. You can

capture up to six seconds of sound in each part.

1

Turn the [LEVEL] knob to adjust the capture volume.

2

Press the [CAPTURE] button.

The indicators for the [CAPTURE] button will light, and the [SEL] buttons of each part will blink, indicating that the MC-09 is ready to capture.

3

Press a [SEL] button to select the part into which the sound is

to be captured.

The indicator of the [SEL] button for the part you selected will light, and the indicators for the [CAPTURE] button will blink.

*If you capture to a part that has already been captured, the previous contents will be erased, and replaced by the new sound.

4

Press the [SETUP] button and then press the [INC] or [DEC] button to make Capture Quantize settings (see next page). When you are finished making Capture Quantize settings, press the [SETUP] button.

1: Automatically stop capture after the first measure

2: Automatically stop capture after the second measure

OFF: Stop capture when you press the [ ](STOP) button

5

Press the [CAPTURE] button to start capture.

If other parts have already been captured, those parts will also begin playing. If you do not want other already-captured parts to play, press their [STATUS] button to make the indicator blink.

6

Stop capturing.

If Capture Quantize is turned “OFF,” capture will stop at the moment you press the [ ](STOP) button. If Capture Quantize is set to “1” or “2,” capture will stop automatically according to the setting.

If you started capture while the loop was playing, loop playback will continue. To stop loop playback, press the [ ](STOP) button.

*Capture will stop automatically after six seconds, regardless of the Capture Quantize setting.

Normally, the [LEVEL] knob adjusts the volume of the audio signal of the DSP synthesizer, or the input from the INPUT jacks. However, when you are capturing, the [LEVEL] knob adjusts the capture volume.

The state of each part is shown by the indicators of the [STATUS] buttons. Parts that have been captured: lit or blinking Parts that have not been captured: dark

If you want to abort the capture procedure, press the [EXIT] button.

You may begin capturing even while a loop is playing. In this case, capture will begin when the playback returns to the beginning of the loop after you pressed the [CAPTURE] button.
