Saving a sample
A newly loaded sample, as well as any changes you’ve made in the
settings for a sample will be lost as soon as you turn off the power. If
you want to keep such data, you must save it as follows.
• You can’t save by overwriting another sample.
• In order to save a stereo sample, there must be two adjacent
sample numbers.
All of the MC-808’s sample patches can be rewritten.
In other words, when you execute the Save operation, the
sample patch 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).

Press [PATCH/SAMPLE] to enter Patch/Sample mode.
2.
Select the sample that you want to save (p. 96).
3.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [WRITE].
