Saving data

Saving patterns

After you’ve edited a pattern or recorded in the step sequencer, you must save your work in the MC-09’s internal user memory, or on a memory card if you want to keep it. If

you turn off the power without saving your work, your settings and recorded material will be lost.

• Saving an effect pattern

(p. 48)

Saving a loop

(p. 59)

After you record (capture) a loop, you must save it to a

memory card if you want to keep it. If you turn off the power without doing this, your settings and recorded material will be lost.

Saving a process patch .... (p. 39)

The MC-09 lets you save the sequence of steps you’ve used in creating a loop, together with the pattern settings that you used at that time. This is called a Process Patch.

When you play back a process patch that you’ve saved, the MC-09 will carry out the same process as when you created the loop, and the loop will be recreated. In other words, a process patch is somewhat like a keyboard macro on a personal computer.
