A Few Issues

A Few Issues

20 Jul 2009, 13:49
Greetings all, just discovered this forum, and I wanted to ask a few questions concerning my MC-808 version 1.03.

1. When I edit patches with the software editor, things go wonky. The sound of the patch changes, levels change etc. When I edit without being connected to the editor, things are fine. Are there known issues witht he editor?

2. My 2nd question concerns the 2 "song loop modes". On mode 1, when a song reaches the end of a verse/pattern, there is an ugly cutoff of effects/reverb etc. as the pattern restarts. This dissapears in mode 2, but in mode 2, any changes i make to muted parts does not play back, so the part stays the same, even though I have programmed certain parts to be unmuted. Not sure what is going on, but I need a smooth transition when a pattern restarts, is there an option I am missing here? I have tried everything. It makes a great pattern sound terrible when being playing in song.

Don't I feel stupid. This unit has been rendered useless, as I cannot have the sudden stopage between bars when playing a song. I spent so much time creating patches, that it took me 2 months to try creating an actual song. Absolutely ridiculous that this problem even exsists. I cannot believe all the trouble you guys went through to try and have Roland fix this HUGE issue.

I have an 808 for sale if anyone is interested, or knows someone who is looking.
