Changing the Sequence/Pattern Tempo
Let’s make our pattern a bit more funky by slowing it down. Right now, its tempo is set to 138.
1. Press PLAY to start playing the sequence.
2. Press F6 (BPM/Click)—the BPM window opens.
The speed, or “tempo,” of a sequence is measured in BPM, or “beats per minute.”
3. Hold down SHIFT and turn the VALUE dial to set the BPM to 100.
Holding down SHIFT lets you change the sequence/pattern’s tempo in whole BPM steps. You
can change it in tenths of a BPM by turning VALUE without holding down SHIFT.
You can send the metronome sound to one of the MC-909 outputs from this window by
setting the Output Asgn parameter to the desired output, but we don’t need to do this now.
4. Press F6 (Close) to close the BPM window.
5. Press STOP to stop playback.
Changing a Part’s Sound
One of the great things about MIDI sequencing is that you can change the instrument playing a
performance even after you’ve recorded it. Let’s check this out.
1. Press PLAY.
2. Press PATCH/SAMPLE. The Patch Play screen shows the setup of all of the sequence’s parts.
3. Part 10 should be selected. If it’s not, press the round PART 10 button so it’s lit.
