MC-808 Questions and Answers

There is still something more that implies this as a bug.

When you change the patterns with cursors without waiting, the sound is NOT interrupted.
Despite the abrupt action.

First excuse me but my english is so bad...I have a problem.When i play l i move the cutoff,resonance,effects...of different parts.Is possible to reset all these movements at the same time????Thnx.

It's not unlikely that yes.

You'd have to search through 909's MIDI implementation chart (808's not published but supposedly it's identical), create a pattern with relevant sysex messages, and assign the pattern to RPS.

Just a guess.

hi all

any ones knows why i listen to low quality frequencies when i play a sample i made outside the 808 and imported to the unit. any way i can avoid that?

[TOTAL]

1. Low quality sound
or
2. low frequencies?


Does it also happen when you play the sample at its original pitch?

[ob(li)vious]

hi total

yes i note that (bad quality) in the low frequencies even if i play the sample at the original pitch...

[TOTAL]

I'd do this

Go to empty pattern

enter patch mode

import sample (even if you have it imported elsewhere)

play c4 key (no pitch change)


Still wrong?

Go to system menu

reduce output volume (-6dB should be more than OK)


If it's not better, have a look (magnify) at the wave in some editing tool or 808 sample editor. If the wave is not flattened against zero db line and the sample plays ok from your computer, I think it's time you consulted RSupport.

When I´m saving my samples it says "user/card memory full" but in the system info it says I´ve got 505mb free...does anyone have any idea of what that might be?? aprecciate it!paz

welcome

How do you save the samples?

try in two ways:

1. "Save all samples"
2. "save patch" (press WRITE). choose saving to card. along with saving patch the sample is saved too.

I´m trying to save to internal memory(which is expanded to 516mb). I´m working without a card right now. On the system utility it says "sample memory:510mb free" but it says "user: 0mb free". so maybe that´s it. I just got it second hand. Do you think restoring faztory settings might be a good idea??thanks a lot for helping. best

Not sure if I understand.
If you try to save to user and the sample is too big, you may get this error message. Try saving to card.

[m. takara]

that´s weird. I got a card and it works just fine with it. but since I´ve got 512mb on my internal memory shoudn´t I be able to sample more than an hour mono on it??I wonder what´s going on with it....
