Import SMF

Here’s how to load SMF pattern data, and write it to a user pattern
or memory card.

The MC-909 supports SMF formats 0 and 1.

If the write-destination user pattern contains data, that data will be
replaced by the data that is written.

1.

In the Utility menu screen, press [F1 (Import SMF)].

2.

Select the SMF that you want to import.

3.

Press [F6 (Import)].

A screen in which you can specify the write destination will
appear.

4.

Use [CURSOR (left/right)] to specify the type of

destination—either a user pattern or a memory card.

5.

Use the [VALUE] dial, [INC/DEC], or [CURSOR (up/

down)] to select the write-destination pattern.

6.

Press [F6 (Write)].

A message will ask you for confirmation.

7.

To write the data, press [F6 (Execute)].

*

To cancel, press [F5 (Cancel)].

Cautions when importing SMF

• Files with settings not supported by the MC-909’s sequencer

cannot be imported.

• SMF data created with multiple channels can not be imported

correctly in some cases.

• Level data and program changes located earlier than the note

data will be imported as setup data.

• On the MC-909, the channel number corresponds to the part

number; e.g., channel 1 = part 1. Thus, data created on channel 1
will be imported into part 1.

• Setup data located earlier than the note data will be reflected in

the Mixer screen as pattern setup data. Also, the first note
message will be imported as the first beat of the first measure. If
you import data that does not begin at the beginning of the first
measure, use the pattern edit operation Shift Clock to move it.
