So, I found out that the MC-808 needs an editor program to alter the tones within a patch. Here is the beginnings of my exploration of what it is able to do. Remember.... I am a beginner at this MC-808 thing, and this is also the first time I've used the editor to actually edit and change the parameters of a voice patch ! So, if you know a better / easier way, please let me know ! Have you used the editor? If so, please share what you do / have done with it. 00:00 Introduction and switching on, connecting via MIDI interface 01:00 What settings need to be changed on the MC-808? 02:00 Soft Through and Remote Kbd Sw 02:40 Run the MC-808 editor program 03:30 how to enlarge the view to see a larger program window 04:35 set up MIDI device 05:15 the menu 05:35 the editor manual 06:35 click on the Read button 07:20 the sliders in the program move as the sliders on the MC-808 move ! 08:20 selecting parts - either on the MC-808 or in the program 09:00 begin discussing and comparing the editor screen with the MC-808 10:00 how is the editor helpful to me? 11:45 ... I do not understand all these settings ... 12:15 why it helps me to be able to visualise the settings and routing 13:40 the Patch Edit menu 14:40 Patch General screen 15:35 Unison select 16:10 Patch Wave / Pitch screen 16:50 “...special sounds...“ 17:15 the four TONES ... 17:50 Tone Switch and Tone Select - on the MC-808 18:35 - - - audio/mixer re-connect - - - 19:15 select/deselect individual tones 19:40 choosing a different Wave for the individual Tones 21:15 Tone Delay Time 23:15 you cannot do this ITB (in the box) ! 24:10 another thing that helps my head understand - envelopes 25:45 changing envelope parameters 26:50 not a 'normal' MC-808 sound... 27:05 excited about the Patch Filter parameter page :-) 28:35 now Tone 2... 29:30 Tone 3 filter type change 29:41 CAUTION ! RESONANT PEAK EXPERIENCED ! ! ! 30:30 looking at the velocity curve changing shape 31:20 Patch Amp parameter page - this is too exciting :-D 32:25 we have a BIAS ... what ever that is... 33:33 (mobile phone interference in the background) 8-/ 34:10 Patch LFO parameter page .... it has waveform representation ! ! ! 34:20 manipulating the LFO wave - each Tone HAS it's OWN LFO 1 and 2 ! 38:10 Patch Structure parameters .... 38:35 PAUSE - tone choice revisited 39:25 - back to Patch Structure = explore the different Types 41:10 Patch Velocity Range parameters 42:40 Patch Matrix parameters - with the “...Oh, the video is over 40 minutes long...“ revelation ! 44:35 Back to the Editor main page 45:00 adjusting reverb / levels on the main page etc 45:30 green light indicator 46:05 the Sample Edit page... 47:00 reversing a sample 47:15 in Sample Edit, the MC-808 swaps into ((PC-MODE)) - which means that the controls / pads on the MC-808 do not work whilst editing the samples... 48:40 a possible faulty / dirty connection identified on the right channel 49:35 audio back - almost... 50:00 “Oh baby“ play and reverse 50:32 “crazy“ ... 51:00 “Yeah“ - bye !
