Creating an original pattern
The MC-808 lets you create original patterns by recording your performance into the internal sequencer.
You can use the following four types of recording.
•
Realtime recording
............ The data from the keyboard pads and faders, and the performance data from an external MIDI device
will be recorded in real time (p. 65).
•
TR-Rec
................................... Using the sixteen keyboard pads to signify notes, you can enter note data by turning the pads on/off
(p. 67).
•
Step recording
.................... This recording method lets you successively enter notes in a non-realtime fashion (p. 68).
•
Tempo/Mute recording
..... This method lets you record tempo changes and mute on/off operations in real time (p. 69).
When you record, any unsaved edits you made to patterns other than the patch and current pattern will be lost. Be sure to save your
changes.

one pattern.
You can also create a pattern completely from scratch. In this
case, start by initializing the pattern to create an empty pattern
(p. 78).
