Saving A Rhythm Set - Roland MC-808 Owner's Manual

Saving a rhythm set

The patch/rhythm set settings you edit will be lost if you reselect the patch/rhythm set or turn off the power. If you want to keep the
changes you made, save them as described here.
All of the MC-808's rhythm sets are rewritable.
In other words, when you save a rhythm set, the rhythm set data that previously occupied the save destination will be overwritten and lost.
However, you can restore the factory-set internal data by carrying out a Factory Reset (p. 25).
