Roland MC-808 - Sampling Vocals with Song Accompaniment

38
2. Creating an original pattern
In addition to using its internal sounds, the MC-808 also lets you
create patterns using audio files you’ve imported from an external
source.
1. Sample a sound (p. 112).
2. When you’ve finished recording, you can assign the sound
directly to a part in a pattern as a “sample patch,” just like a
conventional patch.
You can play melodic lines using a sample patch.
By using a method called “solo sampling” you can sample just the
sound from the external input while playing the pattern as usual.
This lets you record a vocal to the accompaniment of the pattern.
1. Connect your microphone to the INPUT (L/MONO/MIC) jack.

2. As described in “Sampling procedure” (p. 112), choose
“Solo sampling” to access the Sampling Standby screen.
[MIX IN] will be on, and the sound from the mic will be output.
Use the volume section’s [INPUT] control to adjust the volume
of the microphone.
The screen will show a peak indicator. Adjust the input level so
that the top level indicator just barely lights.

3. Begin sampling.
Just your voice will be recorded as you sing along with the
pattern.
4. When you’ve finished recording, you can directly assign
the sample to a part of the pattern just like a conventional
patch.
“Adjusting the Mix In settings” (p. 57)
If you have audio phrases (.WAV or .AIF files) you obtained from
the Web or a CD-ROM, you can import these files into the MC-808.
