About this deal

It can be USB bus powered or alternatively, you can get approximately 5 hours of run time on four AA batteries for completely portable production. En este descargable podrás encontras 5 ritmos: Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue, Norteño y Reguetón cada uno con 3 variaciones para que puedas acompañarte mientras tocas tus canciones favoritas de estos géneros.

Rechargable Battery: The standalone gear can also stand alone with its battery –it doesn’t need to be plugged in for general usage, as it comes with its own built-in rechargeable battery. It offers up to 4 hours of battery life, and comes with a USB_C connection so you can recharge it with your typical battery bank.Knob Layout: While the Circuit’s sequencer and all-around workflow can be fantastic for beatmaking, the macro-based knob layout can be a challenge for live situations. Needing to jump between the performance and mixer views was a particularly common hiccup I encountered, which could cause live acts to prefer other devices with more single-purpose controls.

Add depth and life to your tunes with delays and reverbs, inject some aggression with overdrive and distortion sounds and more.

With the MC-101 you get the amazing sounds of some of these classic instruments including the TR-808, TR-909, JUNO-106, 1H-101 and more.

At the surface level, the Syntakt and MC-101 are both similar in that they’re both an interesting combination of groovebox, drum machine, sequencer, and synthesizer. But they’re also very different from one another. Kit Edit mode lets you adjust several key parameters per pad, and choose and adjust an insert effect for the group. You can drill further into a detailed pad editor, which on the 707 has sample editor, complete with waveform display. But then there are plenty of downsides compared to the MC-101. First of all, I can’t help but feeling that the overall sound is a lot more limited. While the synth “machines” are tweakable, I find it hard to dial in really lush sounds. There is no chorus, no gritty distortion (the overdrive is actually pretty gentle), there’s no compressor, there are no lofi effects, and there’s no way to layer any sound with samples. The biggest omission of all is some form of polyphony, and an arpeggiator. I owned a Digitone last year and loved the way it implemented this. It’s frustrating that Syntakt doesn’t offer the same voice stealing and arp functionality as the Digitone. The Digitone also has a great chorus. Ich bin 49 und habe erst vor ca. 8 Monaten mit einem EPiano musizieren angefangen und wollte nun mehr. Um meine Möglichkeiten hinsichtlich Instrumente und Aufnahmen zu erweitern habe ich lange nach einem passenden Gerät gesucht, war mir aber sehr unsicher. Der Markt ist groß. Sounddesign interessiert mich dabei weniger. Want some help getting started with your MC-101? Roland have created a full video manual to help you along the way. Specifications

Though Roland isn’t chasing ghosts by resurrecting its past analogue systems, the company is most assuredly putting the sounds of those ghosts inside its machines. The MC-101 and its big brother, the MC-707, serve as Roland’s re-entry into a groovebox category that has more recently been dominated by the likes of Elektron, Novation, Teenage Engineering, and Korg. Inside the box, the MC-101 features the faithful sounds of a number of Roland classics such as the TR-808, 606, and 909 (and others in that series), as well as the Juno-106 and SH-101. The MC-101 comes equipped with a mixture of classic and state-of-the-art sounds with DAW-like flexibility, all in one place. And yes, it includes the Roland classics: TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, JUNO-106, and SH-101.

This can vary depending on the specifications of the batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.

Roland MC-101: Master FX One less piece of gear to carry—an audio interface—is certainly an upside, especially for novice or professional electronic musicians who are travelling with a minimal music setup. Final Verdict My biggest struggles were the menu and project structure (absolutely unintutive navigation) and the sequencer. I got used to the Elektron’s workflow, it’s quite natural, I got used to jamming and composing and editing on a fly (A4, Octa, MnM). Here I did not even finish any usable loop or pattern in several months. Roland has their own views on how the sequencing should look for a musician and for me it looks they did not evolve much from the programming of tb303’s or anything digital from that era.With the exception of the SE-02 synth, a collaboration with Studio Electronics, Roland has stubbornly doubled down on the digital technologies behind its Boutique and AIRA series instruments. With the MC-101, a tiny but powerful groovebox, its sounds make it a very convincing creative machine.
