Roland MC-09 owner manual Erasing the contents of a part

Creating and playing a loop

4

Press a [SEL] button to choose the part into which the other

parts will be combined.

The [SEL] button of the selected part will light, and the [LOOP MERGE] button indicator will blink.

*Be aware that if you select an already-captured part, the existing content will be erased and overwritten by the loop-merged content.

Press the [LOOP MERGE] button to begin the Loop Merge

operation.

While loop merge is occurring, the [LOOP MERGE] button indicator will light. When the indicator goes dark, loop merge has been completed.

Erasing the contents of a part

Here’s how you can erase a captured part that you no longer want.

Simultaneously hold down the [SEL] button and [STATUS]

button of the part whose contents you want to erase.

Saving the steps by which you created a loop (Process Patch)

You can save the steps by which you created a loop or made pattern settings. This is called a process patch. When you play back a process patch, the operations you performed when creating the loop will be performed once again, reproducing the loop.

When you turn on the power, the MC-09 automatically begins remembering the button operations you perform. A process patch can record up to eleven operations. If you perform more than eleven button operations, the oldest operations will be successively discarded, and the newly performed operations will be remembered.

If you want to create a new process patch, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [PROCESS PATCH] button to erase all recorded button operations.

By creating a loop skillfully, you can create an effective process patch that

will produce loops with greater repeatability.

You can also store loops on a memory card (p. 59). However, this saves only the performance (audio data) recorded in each part, and does not save pattern settings or pan settings you made when creating the loop.
