Realtime Erase

During realtime recording, you can use the velocity pads or the

realtime modify knobs to erase data.

1.Select the part from which you want to erase data.

Select a part in the same way as described in “Selecting the part to record” (p. 38).

2.During recording, press [F2 (Erase)].

The realtime erase window will appear.

EXCEPT NOTE

All data other than note messages

*If you want to erase knob data, operate the corresponding knob of the panel to specify that data.

4.Erase the data.

When “NOTE” has been selected, hold down two notes on the velocity pads or on an external MIDI keyboard, and all note messages within the region defined by those two notes will be erased while you continue holding down the notes.

For other types of data, the data selected by Erase Type will be erased while you continue holding down [F5 (Erase)].

5.To return to recording mode, press [F5 (Close)] or [EXIT].

Recording Cancel

Here’s how you can cancel the entire content of a recording, and

return to the recording-standby state.

1.During recording, press [F5 (Rec Cancel)].

A message will ask for confirmation.

2.To carry out Recording Cancel, press [F6 (Execute)].

All the data that has been recorded from the time you pressed [PLAY] to start recording until you pressed [F5 (Rec Cancel)] will be discarded.

*To cancel, press [F5 (Cancel)].

Recording a pattern

TR-REC

This is a recording method in which the velocity pads of the MC-909 are used as timing scale buttons to enter note messages.

You can input/delete notes by pressing the velocity pads to switch them between lit/extinguished. This is an easy way to specify the timing at which notes are to be placed.

* This method cannot be used to record data other than note messages
