Using the MC-09 as the slave

The device that transmits MIDI messages is called the master, and the device that receives the messages is called the slave. Here’s how you can use the MC-09 as the slave and an external MIDI device as the master.

MIDI device

(Sequencer, keyboard, etc.)

MIDI OUT

MIDI messages

MIDI IN

*When using the MC-09 as the slave, do not transmit unnecessary MIDI messages from the external MIDI device on the MIDI channel that the MC-09 is receiving. Unnecessary MIDI messages from an external MIDI device may change the settings of the MC-09.

Playing the MC-09 from an external MIDI device

When you play an external MIDI sequencer or keyboard, the MC-09’s DSP synthesizer (the pattern tone or rhythm set) will sound.

Since the keyboard pads have a range of slightly more than one octave, your playing on them will be limited. However, if you use an external MIDI keyboard, you will be able to play the MC-09’s sounds with greater range.

1.Select a pattern from the LEAD, BASS, or RHYTHM group.

2.Set the same MIDI channel for the MC-09 and your external MIDI device (p. 61).

3.Make settings on your external MIDI device.

Make settings on your external MIDI device so that it will transmit MIDI messages. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your device.

4.Play your external MIDI device.

The MC-09’s DSP synthesizer will sound accordingly.

Controlling the MC-09 from an external MIDI device

By transmitting program change messages from an external MIDI device, you can switch the MC-09’s pattern, effect pattern, or loop control pattern. You can also transmit control change messages to modify the MC-09’s sound settings.

1.Set the MC-09 and your MIDI device to the same MIDI channel (p. 61).

2.Press the [SETUP] button.

3.Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select one of the following parameters.

(Rx.Program Change)

Program changes can be transmitted from an external MIDI device to switch the MC-09’s sound, effect, or loop control patterns.

(Rx.Control Change)

Control changes can be transmitted from an external MIDI device to change settings such as cutoff frequency or resonance.

(Rx.Pitch Bend)

Pitch bend messages can be transmitted from an external MIDI device to change the pitch.

(Rx.SysEX)

System exclusive messages can be transmitted from an external MIDI device to change various settings.

(Sync Mode)

Start/Stop messages can be transmitted from an external MIDI device to play/stop the MC-09’s pattern, effect control, or loop control.

4.Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your choice of parameter.

5.Press the [INC] or [DEC] button until the display

indicates “ ”(ON).

If you selected (Sync Mode) in step 3, make the

display show “ ”(REMOTE).

6.If you want to make reception settings for another parameter, press the [EXIT] button, and then repeat steps 3–5.

7.When you are finished making settings, press the [SETUP] button.

8.Make settings on your external MIDI device.

Set your external MIDI device so that it will transmit the appropriate type of MIDI message. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for your device.

9.Transmit the appropriate type of MIDI message from your external MIDI device to control the MC-09.
