Patch editing parameters
These parameters select the PCM waveform that is to form the basis of the tone, and apply effects to the waveform.
These parameters specify the pitch of the waveform, and how your MIDI keyboard playing dynamics will affect the pitch envelope
(change in pitch over time).

Wave No. L/MONO 0 (OFF)–****
* Depends on the
wave group.
Waveform upon which the tone is to be based
On the MC-808 you can specify a separate waveform for the L and R channels.
* If you want to use the same waveform for the L and R channels, set the R channel to 0 (OFF).
Wave No. R
Wave Gain -6, 0, +6, +12 dB Waveform gain (amplitude)
The value will change in steps of 6 dB (decibels). An increase of 6 dB will double the gain. If you
want to use the booster to distort the sound, it is effective to set this to the maximum.
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)
FXM creates a complex overtone structure by using a specific waveform to frequency-modulate the selected waveform. This is suitable for cre-
ating extreme sounds or sound effects.
FXM SW
(Wave FXM Switch)
OFF, ON Selects whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
FXM Color
(Wave FXM Color)
1–4 Selects how FXM will apply frequency modulation.
Increasing this value will produce a rougher sound. Decreasing this value will produce a more
metallic sound.
FXM Depth
(Wave FXM Depth)
0–16 Depth of frequency modulation applied by FXM
Pitch
Parameter Value Description
Patch Coarse Tune
-48– +48 Pitch of the entire patch
Specifies the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-4 octaves.
Patch Fine Tune -50– +50 Pitch of the entire patch
Adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitone up-
ward or downward.
Tone Coarse Tune -48– +48 Pitch of the tone
Adjusts the pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-4 octaves.
Tone Fine Tune -50– +50 Pitch of the tone
Adjusts the pitch in one-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitone up-
ward or downward.
Rnd Pitch Depth
(Tone Random Pitch Depth)
0–1200 Range of random pitch change that occurs each time a pad is pressed
Set this to 0 if you do not want the pitch to change randomly. This value is set in units of one
cent (1/100th of a semitone).
Pitch Keyfollow
(Wave Pitch Keyfollow)
-200– +200 Amount of pitch change that occurs when you play upward one octave (12 notes)
Set this to +100 if you want the pitch to rise one octave as you play 12 notes upward (as on a
conventional keyboard). Set this to +200 if you want the pitch to rise two octaves as you play
12 notes upward. Conversely, set this to a negative value if you want the pitch to fall as you
play upward on the keyboard. Set this to 0 if you want the same pitch to be sounded regard-
less of the note you play.
