<t>ah, at last i am not alone. there seems to be a general MIDI clock IN issue at work here.<br/> <br/> my problem was getting it to stop/start as well as program up/down via MIDI with a simple footswitch. i solved it by getting the MIDIsolutions footswitch controller. you have to program it with a ...

so do you need more RAM to import more samples? i thought you could just import them directly to the compactflash card?

<t>ok, well...i was an angry young man when i posted that last comment. i have learned since then.<br/> <br/> so it turns out for various reasons the MIDIsolutions footswitch controller i was using wasn't receiving programming info correctly. i sorted it out with the inventor, and now IT WORKS! <br/...

<t>ok, everybody loves a happy ending. so it turns out for various reasons the MIDIsolutions footswitch controller wasn't receiving programming info correctly. i sorted it out with john fast, the inventor, and now IT WORKS! <br/> <br/> i also made an amzing discovery - regardless of the descriptions...

<t>does this brilliant new video address any MIDI implementation, specifically the hoops one has to jump through to get the MC-808 to respond to start/stop and/or program change commands?<br/> <br/> i am getting so irritated with this box. i have barely touched it because i want it to do one or two ...

<r>b., thanks very much for your reply. <br/> <br/> i know it's hard for me to narrow down the source start/stop problem as the MIDI footswitch is naturally suspect too. i realized since my first post that i should try to use it to start/stop some other device as a control test. i've also just asked...

<t>no one has ever replied to any of my messages here, which i find very strange. i'm hoping that trend stops now. do i have to call out the magic words "mike acosta" or something?<br/> <br/> here's my issue: i now own the mc-808. i was always troubled by the lack of footswitch jack on the unit but ...

<t>ok aparently the magic phrase is gig bag. i see it's called the CB-MC808 but the only place i see it's available is in japan. why is this product not being sold elsewhere such as the US? between this and the lack of footswitch input it almost seems like roland doesn't want us to take this out liv...

i don't seem to see anything about a case for the MC-808, is there one?

<t>i just snagged an MC-808 which i intend to use for stage, but forgot about the silly lack of a footswitch input. <br/> <br/> i was annoyed until a friend told me about the tech 21 MIDImouse which is a small MIDI footswitch controller. he thought the two side switches could do up/down of programs ...

<t>i've been looking forward to the MC808's release for months. i need a sampling drum machine for live usage only. most often it will be playing back individual hits, programmed into patterns arranged as songs. i use an sp505 now but i need:<br/> <br/> - more patterns<br/> - more sampling time<br/>...
