This is so underrated about 909! I pair my 909 with S1000 and use track mode to quickly sequence chains of loop samples. Then I use a midi merger unit from Kenton to merge 909 midi signals with my midi keyboard into Alesis MMT-8 and overdub. So basically 909 can act as a step sequencer with a pretty flexible grid
thank you for the tutorial. i have my 909 hooked up to my sp1200 but am having some issues with what notes are being triggered. for instance note 2 on the 909 triggers D8 on sp1200,; note 3 on 909 triggers D2 on sp1200; note 4 triggers D7 and so on. completely random. even total accent is triggering a sound. i have a USB floppy emulator installed in the sp1200--. do you think this could be causing the problem?
yep, its original 909 and original sp1200. I was using midi channel 16 then i tried 11- same thing. what sp1200 bank is your 909 triggering. does it go in order down the pads?@@tonelabqt
You should always add a semitone to your next assigned sample as you move from knobs 1 to 16. So your first sample on BD1 will have original pitch set at C1, the next sample - C#1, etc. this should be done on the sampler not the 909
thanks for the video ! If i add a bass synth to this set up using midi out n°2 on the 909. Is it possible to send different midi notes to it, or will it only respond to the same midi notes sent to the sp ?

just need a tr909!

A) Is this the original Roland TR909 or a clone?!
B) Is your SP1200 MIDI configured to receive on MIDI Channel 11?!

You should watch the clip, in full... I do mention the channel and the key-map 👍🏼

Yes, however.. the SP1200 has a 'fixed' MIDI map 👍🏻

It will send the same MIDI notes, regardless of the MIDI Channel 🙏🏻
