Editing patches (Patch Edit)
Patch/Sample mode
• Select a patch that is similar to the sound you wish to
create.
It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you want if
you just select a patch and modify its parameters at random. It
makes sense to start with a patch whose sound is related to
what you have in mind.
• Decide which tones will sound.
When creating a patch, it is important to decide which tones
you are going to use. It is also important to turn off unused
tones to avoid wasting voices, unnecessarily reducing the
number of simultaneous notes you can play.
Turn on the tones that you want to be heard. If you want to hear just
a specific tone, you can turn the remaining tones off.

In Patch/Sample mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press TONE
SWITCH [1]–[4] to turn a tone on (button’s indicator lit) or off
(indicator not lighted).
The MC-808 lets you use the motorized faders to edit a patch.
When you’ve come up with a sound you like, save the patch (p. 91).
