Editing A Pattern In Detail (Microscope); Events You Can Edit Using The Microscope - Roland MC-808 Owner's Manual

Editing a pattern in detail (Microscope)

The Microscope lets you edit individual items (events) of recorded performance data; for example you can move an individual
event's location, make precise changes to it, or delete or insert a single note.
In the PATTERN mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press [REC] to switch to the Microscope screen. The events in the current part of the
currently selected pattern will be displayed together with the current location (measure–beat–tick).
* You must stop the pattern before you can use Microscope editing.

in brackets.
Messages that switch sounds (patches)
The program number (PC#) selects the sound.

The controller number (CC#) selects the function, and Value

* Polyphonic aftertouch is data transmitted independently from
each key to indicate the force with which each key is being pressed
down after it is played. Since the MC-808 is not able to transmit
polyphonic aftertouch, these events cannot be recorded from the
MC-808's keyboard.
Messages that apply aftertouch to each MIDI channel
* Channel aftertouch is data transmitted for each channel to
indicate the force with which the keys are being pressed down
after notes are played.
MIDI messages specific to the MC-808. If the entire message
cannot be shown on one line, a " " will appear at the right
edge of the display.
