Exploring TR-Rec Mode

Turning On TR-Rec Mode

We’ll begin with TR-Rec mode, an easy, no-performance-pressure way to record. “TR-Rec”

is short for “TR Recording.” If you’ve ever used one of Roland’s legendary TR-Series drum

machines, you’ll recognize this approach. TR-Rec mode lets you turn the desired notes on

and off using the VELOCITY PADS. You can see the notes onscreen as you work.

1. Press REC (for “RECORD”) so it lights red —the Recording Menu screen appears.

2. Press F2 (TR-Rec) to display the TR-Rec Standby screen. It’s called a standby screen

because you’re not actually recording yet—you’re just getting set up to record.

On the TR-Rec Standby screen, the MC-909 offers you three options for how you’d like to set

up your sequence. To change a setting—no need to do this now—you’d press  or  to

highlight the parameter you wished to change, and then turn the VALUE dial to select the

desired value for that parameter. Here’s what the three parameters do:

• Rec Beat—sets the time signature for the sequence. Most dance and pop music uses a

4/4 time signature. For our example, this should be set to 4/4.

• Rec Measure Length—sets the length of the sequence in measures. For now, a 4-measure

length is fine.

• Rec Velocity—sets the velocity value assigned to each note you turn on in TR-Rec mode.

You can set it to Real, so that the force with which you hit a pad determines its recorded

velocity, or you can set it to some fixed velocity value. The default setting of 100 means

that every note you record will be recorded with a velocity value of 100. That’s fine for

now.
