<t>Thanks everybody, for the good advice and opinions.<br/> <br/> I got my hands on an RM1x in good condition, although it is version 1.02.<br/> <br/> It is really what I had hoped the MC-808 would be. If it had sampling, I would not have bought the 808.<br/> <br/> The RM1x needs no manual; I can se...

<t>Hi Dirk,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the reply. There is no info in the support documents section of rolandus.com, nor in the knowledge base.<br/> <br/> I suspect this Save AS SMF was part of update V1.02, which is no longer available on the site either. <br/> <br/> Luckily I found the info on your com...

<t>Hi.<br/> <br/> How does that Save as SMF actually work? Does it save the file in the SMF format instead of the MC808's own format, but in the same pattern location?<br/> <br/> How do you then export it to another device?<br/> <br/> I was very pleased to discover today that Live 6 communicates wit...

<t>No.<br/> <br/> It is not neccessary to re-install the 1.03 OS.<br/> <br/> I discovered that the OS update did not, in fact, fix the problem.<br/> <br/> When the problem (read/write error) ocurred for the second time, I re-installed the new update, but it did not fix the problem. The factory reset...

<t>3 Requirements:<br/> <br/> 1. Sytem/shift+button 8: set USB mode to Midi.<br/> 2. System/shift+button 4: set Soft Through to Off.<br/> 3. As 2. right cursor once: Set Remote Kbd Sw to Off.<br/> <br/> If that does not work, you will need to backup your work, then do a full factory reset.<br/> <br/...

<t>Sonny Condell plays Electro Acoustic Guitar with a doubled lower string (employing an octaver) and sings his own songs.

Phew!

Got that sorted, at last.

Thanks for that.

Sytem Mode: Shift Sequencer, then 6 right cursors.

Select: Off.

Relief.

<t>Why is it that when I programme a song and save it into Song 25 (say), that it then goes and plays every other song in the 808 after it?<br/> <br/> Can this be prevented?<br/> <br/> I am not looking forward to having that silly "SiGlocKimber" demo bursting into my live set next week.<br/> <br/> H...

<t>One issue is that one can only store Songs, RPS sets, and Pattern Call sets to the Internal User memory.<br/> <br/> Therefore I was trying to replace the various Song, RPS, and Pattern Call sets, by dropping the ones saved as my backup onto the Internal User ones, via the Storage Mode, all perfor...

<t>Thanks Michael.<br/> <br/> That all makes perfect sense.<br/> <br/> However, when I tried to copy a Song file over itself, using the MC808 in Storage mode with the PC, the song did not appear in the song list.<br/> <br/> Likewise, when I tried to copy an RPS file over itself (the same location in...

<t>Hi Dirk,<br/> <br/> I am afraid that I did not fully understand either of those sentences. It is important to me to find a way of safely backing-up and restoring my work.<br/> <br/> As I stated in the other post, backing up to CF seems to be inneffective, as it only partially restores my settings...

<t>Hi Dirk,<br/> <br/> Yes, I quadruple checked that aspect twenty times over!!<br/> <br/> A factory reset fixes the problem, but the OS update alone did not.<br/> <br/> It would seem that I backed-up the 808 in a bugged state, and restoring it to it's former glory off the CF causes it to misbehave ...

Many thanks Artemio,

That is the one I was looking for. Funny, it did not seem to work when I tried it before.

I guess I am just a bit unlucky this month.

I am starting to get somewhere with this unit, at last!

Thanks again.

<t>Does the Save As function in the File menu of the Editor save the entire settings of the MC-808? Can it therefore be used to restore the unit back to a previous condition?<br/> <br/> Any ideas anybody?<br/> <br/> I have found that everytime I use a Compact Flash to Backup and Restore the Internal...

<t>You know the way you can get Hi-Hats to exclusively switch each other? That is, the closed hat sound shuts off the open hat sound.<br/> <br/> How do you get that to happen in the MC808?<br/> <br/> I have looked at rhythm sets that do just that in the Editor, but cannot find that particular functi...
