Editing patterns (Pattern Edit)
The MC-808 provides various ways for you to edit the performance data of a pattern one measure at a time. These operations let you
modify the content of the performance data in existing patterns, or to combine various patterns to make completely different
patterns.
• You must stop the pattern before you can use pattern editing operations.
• When you use pattern editing, any unsaved changes that have been made to patterns other than the patch and current pattern will
be lost.
Save your changes if necessary.
1.
Select the pattern that you want to edit.
* If you’ll be using the Copy operation (p. 71), select the copy-source
pattern.
2.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press a keyboard pad to specify the
editing operation you want to execute.
3.
Press the part button [1]–[16] of the part you want to edit.
4.
Set the parameters.
Use [CURSOR ] to select a parameter, and turn the
VALUE dial or use [INC] [DEC] to set the value.
* For details on the parameters, refer to the explanation for each pattern
editing operation.
5.
When you’ve finished making settings, press [ENTER].
The pattern editing operation will be executed.
* To cancel, press [EXIT].
6.
The pattern settings will revert to their original state if you
switch off the power without saving them.
Press [WRITE] if you want to save the changes you made.

“Saving a pattern”
(p. 84)
If you’ve executed the editing operation by mistake, you can
press [UNDO/ERASE] to revert to the previous state (p. 25).
If you’re specifying a Note Min/Max parameter for a pattern
editing operation, you can make these settings by pressing two
keyboard pads to set the minimum and maximum values (Min/
Max). The first pad you press will be the minimum value, and
the second pad you press will be the maximum.
If you press the same pad twice, the minimum and maximum
values will be the same.
