2. Creating an original pattern
Quick Start
Mastering is the process of applying a stereo compressor (limiter) to
the final output of the MC-808 to make the volume more consistent.
If you intend to create an audio CD, mastering will allow you to
record at the optimal level.
The mastering effect is applied to the entire MC-808. It is not a
setting for individual patches or patterns.
The mastering effect is applied to the sound that is sent from the
MIX OUTPUT jacks. It is not applied to the sound from the
DIRECT OUTPUT jacks.

Add variation while you connect patterns
Even when using just a single pattern, you can create a wide range of
dynamic development while maintaining the rhythmic feel of the
song simply by changing the muted/unmuted status of the rhythm
or by allowing just the bass to be heard by itself.
You can create a song by connecting patterns in this way.
When recording the song, you can leave the pattern data itself
unchanged, and record just the additions, such as the mute data.
