An overview of the MC-808
The MC-808 has four modes. You’ll switch between these modes depending on how you want to play the MC-808 or according to the
operations you want to perform.
fig.02-004.e
This section explains the major sections that make up the MC-808;
the sequencer, the sound generator, the controllers, and the
sampler.
fig.02-005.e
The data played back by the controller section is sent to the sound
generator section, causing it to produce sound.
Alternatively, the data is recorded by the sequencer section and then
sent to the sound generator section, causing the sound generator section
to produce sound according to the recorded data.
This is the section that actually produces the sound. It can produce sound in response to data from the MC-808’s controllers and
sequencer, or in response to data from an external MIDI device.
The MC-808’s sound generator can produce up to 128 notes simultaneously, giving you plenty of capacity for playing numerous
parts at the same time.
