the mc 808 is a nightmare! maybe korg will update it's app....... :-(

I have a solution, play the drum pattern into a korg gadget synth then transpose down 24 notes before changing to a drum machine or record sequence into a yamaha rs7000 and transpose down again.

you use 808 in slave mode so you don't have to keep changing the 808's BPM?? and does the rm1x have a midi filter sectionto turn off note/pc/cc etc ( rs7000 has this).
....... as a last resort disconnect 808's midi out cable to rm1x :-)

I've tried korg gadget and I can't assign midi drum notes on the virtual drums pads so is it possible to change the notes on the mc808 to match a virtual drum kit?
MC808 needs to be down two octaves 24 notes down from c4 to c2 for example on kick drum....

hiya,
thanks for your reply :-)
It's only the midi sequences I want..... then find suitable instruments on the 808/rs7000 and have some remixing fun. I've never heard the native patterns before so it will be a good experience.

Hi Everyone.
Does anyone have the factory patterns from the mc-303,307,505,909 in their mc-808? I would love to hear these files.
I don't have the time to buy all of the above, record the midi, sell all of the above.
Hope you can help.

I'd love to have the factory 505 midi patterns in my 808 then tweak them a bit. Anyone have the files?
:-)

<r>Hiya, <br/> <br/> thanks for all your help and support last year. <br/> <br/> I have put my MC808 up for sale. <br/> Excellent condition, 256 MB memory installed, 1 GB memory card and PSU. <br/> I have the CD ROM ( pc editor and manual ). <br/> I have left 40MB of my user one shot samples, juno g...

<t>Hi Members, <br/> Can anyone advise the most effective way how to assign single sample hits to each key and save as a rhythm kit? Is it something really simple??? <br/> <br/> I don't normally use the pc editor and autochop on the mc808 doesn't perform that well on a wav file with deliberate silen...

got them to work using sp1 dotnet fx1 on xp and following instructions on this thread ( top 0f page 3 ).

some good stuff!!

i'd love this - how much memory does the librarian and a collection of patches use up ( 800 or so )?

i've looked all over the internet for mc808 or compatible patches but nothing!!!

Can anyone else help??

<t>cheers dirk. <br/> I'll give it a go with the mc 909 link and try overwriting the sample slot when importing all from pc to card first ( i must have missed something <br/> ) <br/> <br/> <br/> can't find mc 909 thing...spent all night rewriting mono samples to smplxxxx then renaming on top in the ...

<t>i've imported 5 samples as the FAQ says but how bloody slow................ <br/> I've also renamed a sample smpl0006 and put it into the card/roland folder but i cannot rename and save over the sample in the 808 unless you want to use up a patch ( or can I? ). I can only imagine the hassle later...

linked it to my xp pc in the end - works now!

can someone clearly list the instructions to make the editor work for windows 7 64 bit please.

going crazy with this 808

<t>I think the best way for me is to probably have drums/prc on tracks 1-8, bass/synths/fx/vox on tracks 9-16 (numerous note free templates)....then create patterns on the rs7000 and midi record when happy with my patterns. shame it's the other way round on the preset patterns (good soundsets at lea...
