Do not modify the folder structure from a computer that is
connected to the MC-909 via USB.
The only files that can be transferred between the MC-909 and
your computer are audio files (WAV/AIFF formats), Standard
MIDI Files (SMF format 1), and bitmaps (320 x 240 pixels). Do

MC-909’s user area or memory card, make sure to place them in
the relevant folders inside the TMP folder.

• SMFs SMF folder
• Audio files WAV_AIFF folder
