Selecting an effect pattern

When using an effect, you can have the effect settings change along with the performance. Such a group of effect settings are called an effect pattern. The MC-09 contains 30 effect patterns for immediate use. You can also create your own effect patterns and save them in internal memory or on a memory card.

Filter: Modify the brightness

Isolator: Boost/cut specific frequency regions

Phaser: Modulate the sound

Slicer: Intermittently cut the sound

1

Press the [EFFECTS] button.

2

Make sure that the display indicates an effect pattern number.

Also make sure that none of the BPM, OCT, or TONE/TYPE indicators are lit. If one of these indicators is lit, press the [DISPLAY] button several times, until the indicator goes out.
