Nov.2002 ERROR MESSAGE If an incorrect operation is performed, or if processing could not be performed as you specified, an error message will appear. Refer to the explanation for the error message that appears, and take the appropriate action. 32 Message Meaning Cause/Action Beat Differs! While using the Pattern Edit operation Copy, the copy could not be executed since the copy-source and copy-destination pat- terns have differing time signatures. You must copy between patterns that have the same time signa- ture. The imported SMF has a time signature that cannot be played by the MC-909, or has a changing time signature.
Import SMF data with a time signature that can be played by the MC-909, and whose time signature does not change. Cannot Assign Phrase! Since there are two or more unmuted parts, the phrase cannot be registered in an RPS set. Choose one part of the phrase that you want to register, and mute all of the remaining parts Cannot Edit Preset Sample! This is a preset sample, and therefore cannot be edited. --- Card Not Ready! A memory card is not inserted in the slot. Insert a memory card into the slot. Card Protected! The write-protect sticker is affixed to the card. --- Empty Pattern! The pattern cannot be played since it contains no performance data. Select a pattern that contains data.
Empty Sample! The sample contains no data. Select a sample that contains data. Empty Song! The song has not been recorded, and therefore cannot be played. Select a song that contains data. Illegal File! The MC-909 cannot use this file. The MC-909 can use only audio files (WAV/AIFF format), SMF, and bitmap files. Memory Damaged! The contents of memory may have been damaged. Please perform the Factory Reset operation (Owner’s Manual; p. 20). If this does not resolve the problem, please contact your dealer or the nearest Roland Service Center. Memory Full! Saving is not possible because there is insufficient space in the user area or memory card. Delete unneeded data. MIDI Offline!
There is a problem with the MIDI cable connection. Check that the MIDI cable has not been disconnected or broken. No More Sample Numbers! The sample cannot be divided any further. Erase unneeded samples in order to allocate 256 or more con- secutive sample numbers. Since fewer than 256 consecutive sample numbers are vacant, no further sampling is possible. Now Playing! Since the MC-909 is playing, this operation cannot be executed. Stop playback before you execute the operation. Pattern Full! Since the maximum number of notes that can be recorded in one pattern has been exceeded, no further pattern recording is pos- sible.
Erase unneeded data from the pattern you are recording Permission Denied! The file is protected. --- Sample Length Too Short! The sample is too short, and cannot be edited correctly.If the sample is extremely short, editing may not produce the desired result. Sample Memory Full! Since there is insufficient sample memory, no further sampling or sample editing is possible. Erase unneeded samples (Owner’s Manual; p. 123). Song Recording Full! Since the maximum number of patterns that can be recorded in one song has been exceeded, no further song recording is possi- ble. A maximum of 50 patterns can be recorded in one song. No fur- ther patterns can be recorded. Unformatted!
The memory card is in an unsupported format. Format the memory card (Owner’s Manual; p. 134). Wrong Setting! The pattern edit setting is incorrect. Make the correct setting.
