Using a memory card
Saving a loop to a memory
card
The loops recorded in the audio looper can be saved on a
memory card. Here we will explain how to save individual
loops of the specified part.
1. Press the [SETUP] button.
2. Press the [INC] or [DEC] button until the display
indicates “ ”.
3. Press the [ENTER] button.
The display will show the save-destination file number (L01–
L50).
4. Press one of the audio looper [SEL] buttons to specify
the part that you want to save.
5. Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select the save-
destination file number.
* Should you decide that you don’t want to carry out the save,
press the [SETUP] button or the [EXIT] button.
6. Press the [WRITE] button to begin saving the data.
While the data is being saved, “ ” will appear in the
display. When saving is complete, you’re returned to where
you were in step 2.
* If the save-destination file number already exists on the
memory card, the display will indicate “ ”. If you
want to save the new data by overwriting the old, press the
[ENTER] button. If you want to save the data with a different
file number, press the [EXIT] button and repeat the
procedure from step 2.
* It may take up to three minutes for saving one loop.
7. Press the [SETUP] button.
When you save a loop to a memory card, it is saved in the
MC-09’s own original format. This means that loops you
create on the MC-09 cannot be loaded or used by a personal
computer or hard disk recorder. If you want to use an MC-09
loop on a different device, you will have to record the loop
onto that device as an audio signal.
Loading a loop

looper.

4. Press one of the audio looper [SEL] buttons to select the
part into which the data will be loaded.
5. Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select the load-
source file number.

button or the [EXIT] button.

The display will show “ ” while the data is being
loaded. When loading is finished, you’re returned to where
you were in step 2.
* If a loop already exists in the load-destination part, the display
will indicate “ ”. If it is ok to overwrite this existing
data when you load, press the [ENTER] button. If you decide
to load the data into a different part, press the [EXIT] button
and repeat the procedure from step 2.
