Settings related to sequencer operation (SEQUENCER)
Parameter
Range Description
Sync Mode
MASTER,
REMOTE,
SLAVE
Specifies how the internal sequencer will operate and how MIDI clock messages will be trans-
mitted and received.
MASTER:
The internal sequencer will synchronize to the internal tempo clock. Any MIDI
clock messages received from an external device will be ignored.
REMOTE:
Operation will be essentially the same as “MASTER.” However, Start/Stop mes-
sages from the external MIDI device will control playback/stop for the internal sequencer.
SLAVE:
The internal sequencer will synchronize to MIDI clock messages received from an ex-
ternal device. If no MIDI clock messages are being received, pattern/song playback will not
occur even if you press the [PLAY] button.
Sync Output OFF,
ON
Determines whether synchronization-related MIDI messages will be transmitted.
OFF:
Messages will not be transmitted.
ON:
The following messages will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
• Timing Clock: F8 • Stop: FC • Start: FA
• Song Position Pointer: F2 • Continue: FB
Arp Sync Mode
(Arpeggio Sync Mode)
OFF,
MODE1,
MODE2
Specifies how the arpeggio start timing will be synchronized to the pattern.
OFF:
The start timing will not synchronize.
MODE1:
When a pattern plays, the arpeggio will start in synchronization. When the pattern
stops, the arpeggio will also stop.
MODE2:
In addition to the operation of MODE1, the arpeggio will start at the beginning of the
next measure of the currently-playing pattern.
* If the pattern is stopped, the arpeggio will start immediately, regardless of which of the
above settings is selected.
RPS Trig Qtz
(RPS Trigger Quantize)
REAL,
16TH,
8TH,
QUARTER,
MEASURE
When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and phrases may not play back in precise
alignment, depending on the timing at which you press the keyboard pads. On the MC-808
you can specify the playback timing of the phrase, so it will play back in precise synchroniza-
tion with the pattern.
REAL:
The phrase will play back immediately, at the timing at which you pressed the key-
board pads.
16TH, 8TH, QUARTER:
The pattern will be divided into selected note units, and when you
press the keyboard pads, the phrase will begin playing at the beginning of the next note unit.
MEASURE:
The pattern will be divided into one-measure units, and when you press the key-
board pads, the phrase will begin playing at the beginning of the next measure.
* If this setting is anything other than “REAL,” you’ll be able to play phrases in perfect syn-
chronization with the pattern by striking a pad slightly ahead of the playback timing you
actually want.
* If the pattern is stopped, the arpeggio will start immediately, regardless of which of the
above settings is selected.
BPM Lock ON,
OFF
Specifies how the tempo will change when patterns are played back consecutively.
OFF:
When the pattern changes, the tempo will change at the same time.
ON:
The tempo of the first-played pattern will continue even when the pattern changes.
Song Loop Mode OFF,
LOOP1,
LOOP2
Specifies how songs will be played back.
OFF:
The currently selected song will be played back only once.
LOOP1:
The currently selected song will be played back repeatedly.
LOOP2:
All songs will be played back repeatedly in sequence.
Song Play Mode MODE1,
MODE2
Specifies whether or not the pattern setup parameters will be loaded when you move to the
next step of the song.
MODE1:
The setup parameters setting will be loaded each time you move to the next step.
MODE2:
The setup parameters setting will be maintained during playback only if the next
step plays a pattern that is the same as the currently playing pattern.
