D Beam ID 0–3 When using two or more MC-909 units together, you can specify a different ID for each unit
so that the D Beam controllers of the units will not interfere with each other.
D Beam Sens L 0–127 Sensitivity of the D Beam controllers
The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in
the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appro-
priate for the brightness of your location. Increasing this value will raise the sensitivity. D Beam Sens R

Parameter Range Explanation
[F1 (Seq Sync)]
Sync Mode MASTER,
REMOTE,
SLAVE Specifies how the internal sequencer will operate and how MIDI Clock messages will be transmitted and
received.
MASTER: The internal sequencer will synchronize to the internal tempo clock. Any MIDI Clock messag-
es received from an external device will be ignored.
REMOTE: Operation will be essentially the same as “MASTER.” However, Start/Stop messages from
the external MIDI device will control playback/stop for the internal sequencer.
SLAVE: The internal sequencer will synchronize to MIDI Clock messages received from an external de-
vice. If no MIDI Clock messages are being received, pattern/song playback will not occur even if you
press the [PLAY] button.
Sync Output OFF, ON Determines whether synchronization-related MIDI messages will be transmitted.
OFF: Messages will not be transmitted.
ON: The following messages will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
• Timing Clock: F8
• Start: FA
• Continue: FB
• Stop: FC
• Song Position Pointer: F2
Arpeggio Sync
Mode OFF,
MODE1,
MODE2 Specifies how the arpeggio start timing will be synchronized to the pattern.
OFF: The start timing will not synchronize.
MODE1: When a pattern plays, the arpeggio will start in synchronization. When the pattern stops, the
arpeggio will also stop.
MODE2: In addition to the operation of MODE1, the arpeggio will start at the beginning of the next mea-
sure of the currently-playing pattern.
* If the pattern is stopped, the arpeggio will start immediately, regardless of which of the above settings
is selected.
