Using the MC-09 as a synthesizer

Saving a pattern

If you’ve modified the contents of a pattern by editing the tone settings or
by recording, you must save the pattern if you want to keep it.
* All your changes will be lost if you select a different pattern or turn off the power
before you save the pattern.
* The Save operation cannot be performed while a pattern is playing.
The following data is saved
Tone/Rhythm set
• Pan
Parameter settings (including the settings of the six knobs)
• Phrase
Loop control settings (p. 56)
(If loop control settings are not included)
1Press the [WRITE] button.
The pattern number in the display will blink.
2Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select the save-destination

pattern number.

Select U01–U20 if you want to save to internal memory, or C01– C50 if you
want to save to a memory card.
* Since the data you save will overwrite any previous data at that location, the
previous data will be lost. Make sure that the selected number does not contain a
pattern you want to keep.
3Press the [WRITE] button to execute.
The display will indicate “Sur”, asking you to confirm the operation.
4Press the [WRITE] button to write.
While a pattern is being saved, the display will show “bsy”. When the data
has been saved, you will return to the screen in which you were prior to
beginning the Save process.
* If you decide not to save the pattern, press the [EXIT] button.
You can save 20 patterns
(total for LEAD, BASS,
RHYTHM, and EFFECTS
groups) in internal
memory.
