Rhythm editing parameters
On the MC-808, you can assign four stereo waves to a rhythm tone. This allows you to create highly expressive rhythm tones that will
change their sound in response to the dynamics of your keyboard playing, when using an external MIDI keyboard. This functionality is
referred to as the WMT (Wave Mix Table).
Various other parameters are provided here.
Special editing
WMT (Wave Mix Table)
Parameter
Value Description
Velocity Control
(WMT Velocity Control)
OFF, ON,
RANDOM
Specifies whether velocity data will be used (ON) or ignored (OFF)
If you specify RANDOM, the waves will sound randomly, regardless of velocity data.
Velo Fade Lower
(WMT Velocity Fade
Width Lower)
0–127
Specifies the volume change that occurs when you play a key on an external instrument, such as a MIDI
keyboard, with a force that is less than the lower limit of the velocity range specified below
Increasing this value will cause the volume to decrease more smoothly. Set this to 0 if you don’t want
any sound to be heard when you play a key with a force that’s outside the specified range of velocities.
Velo Range Lower
(WMT Velocity
Range Lower)
1–Upper Lower limit of the velocities that will sound the wave
Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between waves.
Velo Range Upper
(WMT Velocity
Range Upper)
Lower–127 Upper limit of the velocities that will sound the wave
Set this parameter if you want to use velocity to switch between waves.
* It is not possible to set Lower to a greater value than Upper, nor Upper to a lesser value than Lower.
Velo Fade Upper
(WMT Velocity Fade
Width Upper)
0–127
Specifies the volume change that occurs when you play a key on an external instrument, such as a MIDI
keyboard, with a force that is greater than the upper limit of the specified velocity range
Increasing this value will cause the volume to decrease more smoothly. Set this to 0 if you don’t want
any sound to be heard when you play a key with a force that’s outside the specified range of velocities.
General
Parameter Value Description
Rhythm Level
(Rhythm Set Level)
0–127 Overall volume of the Rhythm Set
Assign Type MULTI,
SINGLE
This setting determines whether a Rhythm Tone note that is playing is stopped when the same note is
played again (SINGLE), or whether it will continue to play, layered with the new note (MULTI).
Mute Group OFF, 1–31
The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more Rhythm Tones that are not allowed to sound
simultaneously. For example, in a real-world acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound will
never occur simultaneously, since they’re produced by the same instrument. To simulate this behavior on the
MC-808, you can set the open and closed hi-hat Rhythm Tones to the same Mute Group. You can have up to
31 Mute Groups per Rhythm Set. If you do not want a Rhythm Tone to use a Mute Group, turn the feature off.
Tone Env Mode
(Rhythm Tone
Envelope Mode)
NSUS, SUST When a loop-type waveform is selected, it will normally continue to sound as long as a pad is pressed.
If you want a note to decay naturally even when the pad remains pressed, set this to “NSUS.”
* If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to “SUST.”
Tone Pitch Bend Range
(Rhythm Tone Pitch
Bend Range)
0–48 Amount of pitch change (in semitone steps) that will occur when you move the pitch bend lever of an
external MIDI keyboard or other device
Tone Reverb Send Level
(Rhythm Tone Re-
verb Send Level)
0–127 Specifies the depth of reverb applied to each Rhythm Tone
Set this to 0 if you don’t want to apply reverb.
Tone Output Asgn
(Rhythm Tone
Output Assign)
DRY, MFX1,
MFX2,
COMP,
DIR1
Specifies the original sound of each Rhythm Tone will be output
DRY:
Output to MIX OUTPUT jacks without passing through effects
MFX1 (2):
Output through multi-effects 1 (or 2)
COMP:
Output through the compressor
DIR:
Output to the DIRECT OUTPUT jacks without passing through effects
RANDOM MODIFY This controls the sound generator parameters of the current part. It is a convenient way to use
randomness to create sounds you like.
