Range Description
MASTER, Specifies how the internal sequencer will operate and how MIDI clock messages will be trans-
REMOTE, mitted and received.
SLAVE 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.
OFF, Determines whether synchronization-related MIDI messages will be transmitted.
ON OFF: Messages will not be transmitted.
ON: The following messages will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
• Timing Clock: F8
• Song Position Pointer: F2 • Continue: FB
OFF, Specifies how the arpeggio start timing will be synchronized to the pattern.
MODE1, OFF: The start timing will not synchronize.
MODE2 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.
REAL, When using RPS during pattern playback, patterns and phrases may not play back in precise
16TH, alignment, depending on the timing at which you press the keyboard pads. On the MC-808
8TH, you can specify the playback timing of the phrase, so it will play back in precise synchroniza-
QUARTER, tion with the pattern.
MEASURE 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.
ON, Specifies how the tempo will change when patterns are played back consecutively.
OFF 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.
OFF, Specifies how songs will be played back.
LOOP1, OFF: The currently selected song will be played back only once.
LOOP2 LOOP1: The currently selected song will be played back repeatedly.
LOOP2: All songs will be played back repeatedly in sequence.
MODE1, Specifies whether or not the pattern setup parameters will be loaded when you move to the
MODE2 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.
