4. Press F1 (List) to show a list of available patches. Since Part 10 currently uses a rhythm set, the

Saving a Pattern
Until you actually save your work, the MC-909 holds it in RAM (“Random Access Memory”)—if you
select another pattern or power-down the MC-909, your work is lost. To keep it safe, you’ve got to
save, or “write,” the pattern into the MC-909’s memory. Here’s how:
1. Press the WRITE button to display the Write Menu screen.
Notice that “Pattern” is highlighted on the screen. Since we’re currently in Pattern mode, the
MC-909 assumes you want to save a pattern. Whenever you press WRITE, the MC-909 selects
whatever it is you’re working on for you in its Write menu. You can always select something else
to save by turning the VALUE dial or pressing the desired F button, but you don’t need to do
that now. We do want to save a pattern.
2. Press ENTER to confirm that you want to write a pattern.
