Roland MC-09 Manual De Usuario

 

The MC-09’s audio looper is like a small sampler designed 
for creating looped phrases. You can capture (record) an 
audio signal into each of the four parts.

You can also use the 

 

 to combine two or 

more parts, to create polyphonic loops.

 

By recording Loop Control settings in the step sequencer, you 
can produce a wide range of variations from a single loop.

 

You can change the pitch of the loop playback. This lets you 
play the loop at pitches different from the original pitch.

 

Parts you specify can be played back in sequence. This lets 
you create performances that are similar to what you would 
obtain by striking the pads of a sampler. 

 

You can divide a loop into pieces, and then reassemble it and 
play it back. This lets you create new phrases that are 
completely different than the original loop.

 

The MC-09 has a built-in synthesizer that gives you a wide 
range of sounds (tones) in categories such as Lead, Bass, and 
Rhythm, as well as four different effects (Filter, Isolator, 
Phaser, and Slicer). 

A mode that simulates the vintage synthesizers often used in 
Techno styles has also been included.

(The MC-09 can also be used as a synthesizer module.)

 

Not only can you record the notes you input as performance 
data, but you can also spice up your performances by using 
the 

 

 to cyclically change the effect settings, 

or by using 

 

 to change the way a loop is played 

back.

 

Since the MC-09 provides INPUT jacks, you can combine the 
MC-09’s sounds with performances (audio signals) from 
another device such as a CD, MD, or keyboard.

• Capture (record) a performance from an external device, 

and loop it

• Mix an audio signal with the sounds of the MC-09

• Apply effects to an audio signal

 

The MC-09’s “Process Patch” function can remember and 
play back actions concerned with things such as the selection 
of a pattern (a sound together with a phrase), or the capture 
of an audio loop. For example, all the steps and settings 
involved in creating a loop can be saved as a Process Patch. 
The next time you turn on the power, you can load this to 
reproduce the same state as before.

This is a convenient way to store the procedure by which a 
loop was created, or to set up for a live performance.

 

Loops and patterns you create can be saved on a separately 
sold memory card.

 

Here are some ways in which you can use the MC-09. Your 
creativity will take you even further!
