Selecting Patches By Category (Category Lock) - Roland MC-808 Owner's Manual

Editing patches (Patch Edit)
Selecting patches by category
(Category Lock)
The MC-808 provides a patch search function that lets you quickly
find a desired patch by specifying the desired patch category.
You can choose from the following categories.
If you've locked the category, you'll see only the sounds in that
category when selecting patches. If you haven't locked the category,
you may find yourself unintentionally looking through the next
category; locking the category will prevent this.
