When you save a loop to a memory card, it is saved in the MC-09’s own original format. This means that loops you create on the MC-09 cannot be loaded or used by a personal computer or hard disk recorder. If you want to use an MC-09 loop on a different device, you will have to record the loop onto that device as an audio signal.
