Pattern Mode
RPS Settings
1. Hold down [RPS] and press [F6 (RPS Setting)].
Alternatively, hold down [SHIFT] and press [F4 (RPS)].
The RPS setting screen will appear.
2. Use [CURSOR (up/down)] to select a parameter.
3. Use [VALUE] or [INC/DEC] to edit the parameter.
<RPS Trigger Quantize>
When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and phrases may
not play back in precise alignment, depending on the timing at
which you press the velocity pads. On the MC-909 you can specify
the playback timing of the phrase, so it will play back in precise
synchronization with the pattern. (RPS Trigger Quantize ->p. 128)
• REAL:
The phrase will play back immediately, at the timing at which
you pressed velocity pads.
• 16TH, 8TH, QUARTER:
The pattern will be divided into selected note units, and when
you press the velocity pads, the phrase will begin playing at the
beginning of the next note unit.
• MEASURE:
The pattern will be divided into one-measure units, and when
you press the velocity pads, the phrase will begin playing at the
beginning of the next measure.
* Except when this parameter is set to “REAL,” pressing on the velocity
pads slightly before the actual desired timing will help you
synchronize the phrase to the pattern.
* If the pattern is stopped, the phrase will play back immediately,
regardless of the setting that is selected in the above procedure.
Adjusting the settings of the RPS parts
RPS playback uses dedicated RPS parts that are separate from
conventional pattern playback. The patterns that are assigned to
velocity pads [1]–[16] will play RPS parts 1–16.
Here's how to adjust the settings of these RPS parts.
1. Hold down [RPS] and press [F6 (RPS Setting)].
Alternatively, hold down [SHIFT] and press [F4 (RPS)].
The RPS setting screen will appear.
2. Press [F3 (RPS Mixer)].
The RPS Mixer screen will appear.
3. Use the part mixer section to adjust the volume, pan,
etc. of RPS parts 1–16.
Use [F1]--[F4] to select a parameter, and use the sliders to adjust
the values.
* You can also use [CURSOR] to select a part and parameter, and then
use [VALUE] or [DEC/INC] to adjust the value.
4. Press [F6 (Close)] to close the RPS Mixer screen.
