* If you selected a pattern from the RHYTHM group, you will be able to input up to

three notes at each step. If you selected a pattern from the LEAD or BASS group,
only one note can be input at each step. If you select a step for which a note has
already been input (i.e., a step whose indicator is blinking), the previous data will
be replaced by the new data.

While listening to the repeated playback, repeat steps 12–15 to

While a BASS group
pattern is playing, you can
use the C3 knob to adjust
the accent level.

If you specified a two-
measure phrase and want
to change measures, press
the [SCALE] button to
make the display show the
measure number, and press
the [INC] or [DEC] button.
To see the current measure
location, press and hold the
[SCALE] button. The
previous display will
reappear when you release
the button.

The MC-09 remembers the
settings you’ve input most
recently (rhythm tone,
velocity, etc.). If you want
to use the same settings for
the next note you input,
you don’t have to change
the settings.
