Playing patterns
Pattern mode
The MC-808’s Arpeggiator function lets you perform arpeggios just by playing the chords, using the notes in the chords you play.
Not only can you use the factory-set
arpeggio styles
, which determine the way the arpeggio is played, but you can also freely
rewrite styles.

Using in combination with the chord
memory function
When performing with the Arpeggiator, you can also use it
along with the Chord Memory (p. 56). After first storing
complex Chord Forms in memory, you can then call them up
when Arpeggiator is on, and you can easily create complex
arpeggio sounds just by pressing a single pad.
