I figured out how to do it! Yeah!

Is the volume knob for the input turned open?

MC-909 is better than the MC-808, because the MC-909 is the only real groovebox out of the two. You need a computer/laptop to get the most out an MC-808 which goes against the whole concept of a groovebox, being music out straight out the box and not needing anything else.

Hello guys, I'm trying to delete all pre-sets on my MC-909... the only question is, how? I'm trying to delete all the pre-set patterns, songs and RPS settings. I do want to keep all the patches though. Has anybody done this before? I want to be able to delete the above without having to update the f...

Nope, not yet, i'm gonna need to try something else that does the same trick, then I'll know more. I'm gonna see if I can get my hands on a Korg Kaoss Pad for a day or two

One of these days, cheers mate!

Cheers! I did try another cable like you said and still get the same message. The only conclusion I can make is that the MIDI out on the Soundbite Micro doesn't work properly.

Thanks for the help!

I've got:
2 x Technics SL-1200MK2
Rane Empath DJ Mixer

Yup, these are my baby's !

Redsound Sounbite Micro, to convert the audio signal to a MIDI clock signal.

Any and all help is very much appreciated, cheers!

I've tried that, but if I do that I won't be able to press play on the MC-909, then it needs to be controled from an external MIDI controler. It's been driving me nuts!

<t>But shouldn't the MC-909 receive the BPM though? The BPM isn't changng under the turntable emulation.

<t>Hello, <br/> <br/> I'm trying to sync my Roland MC-909 to my turntables, but I'm having some problems doing so. <br/> I've bought myself a Redsound Soundbite Micro which I can put an audio signal in and this will convert it to a MIDI clock signal. <br/> I keep getting the message "MIDI Offline!" ...
