fig.1-02.e
* The [FWD], [BWD], and [TOP] buttons can also be used during
playback.
* Press [STOP] twice to return to the beginning of the pattern.
BPM (tempo) when playing patterns
successively
Each pattern has its own specified tempo (BPM). If you play
back patterns successively, the tempo will also change when the
pattern changes.
If desired, you can maintain the tempo of the first-played
pattern even while switching patterns (
“BPM Lock” (p.
119)).
Parameters that change when
the pattern changes
(Setup parameters)
On the MC-808, settings for the following parameters are stored
individually with each pattern. When you play back patterns
successively, the settings of these parameters will also change
each time the pattern changes. These parameters are collectively
called “
setup parameters .”
