WMT (Wave Mix Table)

With the MC-909, up to four stereo Waves can be assigned to a single Rhythm Tone. You can select the way tones sound according to the force with which the keys are played, thus allowing you to create Rhythm Tones featuring great expressive power. This function is called WMT (Wave Mix Table).

Level

1	Lower	Upper	Velocity
L.Fade value		U.Fade value
Parameter		Value	Description
Velocity Control		OFF, ON,	Specifies whether velocity data will be used (ON) or ignored (OFF)
(WMT Velocity Con-		RANDOM	If you specify RANDOM, the waves will sound randomly, regardless of velocity data.
trol)
Velo Fade Lower		0–127	Rate of volume change when you play less strongly than the lower limit of the velocity range
(WMT Velocity Fade			Greater settings for this value will cause the volume to decrease more gradually. Set this to 0 if you
Width Lower)			want notes outside the velocity range to not sound at all.
Velo Range Lower		1–Upper	Lower limit of velocities that will sound the tone
(WMT Velocity			Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between waves.
Range Lower)
Velo Range Upper		Lower–127	Upper limit of velocities that will sound the tone
(WMT Velocity			Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between waves.
Range Upper)			* It is not possible to set Lower to a greater value than Upper, nor Upper to a lesser value than Lower.
Velo Fade Upper		0–127	Rate of volume change when you play more strongly than the upper limit of the velocity range
(WMT Velocity Fade			Greater settings for this value will cause the volume to decrease more gradually. Set this to 0 if you
Width Upper)			want notes outside the velocity range to not sound at all.

Various other parameters are provided here.

Parameter	Value	Description
Rhythm Level	0–127	Overall volume of the Rhythm Set
(Rhythm Set Level)
Assign Type	MULTI,	This setting determines whether a Rhythm Tone note that is playing is stopped when the same note is
	SINGLE	played again (SINGLE), or whether it will continue to play, layered with the new note.
Mute Group	OFF, 1–31	The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more Rhythm Tones that are not allowed to
		sound simultaneously. For example, in a real-world acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-
		hat sound will never occur simultaneously, since they’re produced by the same instrument. To simulate
		this behavior on the MC-909, you can set the open and closed hi-hat Rhythm Tones to the same Mute
		Group. You can have up to 31 Mute Groups per Rhythm Set. If you do not want a Rhythm Tone to use
		a Mute Group, turn the feature off.
Tone Env Mode	NSUS, SUST	When a loop-type waveform is selected, it will normally continue to sound as long as a key is pressed.
(Rhythm Tone		If you want a note to decay naturally even when the key remains pressed, set this to “NSUS.”
Envelope Mode)		* If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUST.”
Tone Pitch Bend	0–48	Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you move the Pitch Bend Lever.
Range

Bend Range)
Tone Reverb Send	0–127	Specifies the depth of reverb applied to each Rhythm Tone
Level		Set this to 0 if you don’t want to apply reverb.

Tone Output Asgn	DRY, MFX1,	Specifiests the original sound of each Rhythm Tone will be output
(Rhythm Tone	MFX2,	DRY: Output to MIX OUTPUT jacks without passing through effects
Output Assign)	COMP,	MFX1 (2): Output through multi-effects 1 (or 2)
	DIR1, DIR2	COMP: Output through the compressor
