All user reviews of 5/5 for the Roland MC-808

Already said.

UTILIZATION

First point: the manual is quite clear and sufficient. However, it is sometimes difficult to navigate. The question that everything is thoroughly described.

If it is usual functions, everything is in front and quite quickly, EXCEPT some parameters for which we need to find "tricks" live. With a little resourcefulness and some contortions it is doing pretty well, I think.

For more advanced functions, yes, we have the software, but there are few people to say how easy it is and watch as a virtual continuation of the facade. I'm not bored, or not much!

In the end, I find it quite "open" many ways of working are possible, including mine (it is what it is not?) And I enjoy composing.

I would have liked an easier access to editing tracks etc. ... without having to deal with a shift to 13 have access to reverb and effects wheel (for example).

Anyway, this is not insurmountable monster that some were willing to describe, and overall I like the ergonomics after a period of adaptation. And I still think it is what is appropriate for me!

SOUNDS

Already discussed below, the sounds are good as long to spend a little time, there are some effects that I love frankly, although I have not yet done the trick.

Again, I do not understand some opinion, and I doubt that these people are used to working with sound, even to hear. I analog synthesizers side, everything fits very well when it comes to synths - sometimes I like less drum kits, I finally I sample.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for eight months and I am very satisfied;
over time it is built differently to my setup:
I'm using it more like groovebox but primarily as sampler, and as long as you have the RAM there really is plenty to do. I love the sound processing, it amazes me "send" without effort, faders and automation are very very very nice ...

I tried a few models groovebox, a 505 mc, an EMX ... I prefer it even though I felt sympathetic EMX.

What I like best is the opening: whatever place I give luis, it makes me very well, sometimes it is the nerve center of my live, sometimes effects processor, right now I sequence a shruthi -1 with and meets all, it gives flexibility to the mutable and nice effects.

I consider the money pretty amazing report: prices fall, each selling his and it seems that nobody is happy with. I'm afraid whether people who are not really looking to play music. The frustration they feel about their machine seems more due to their talent:

It is a machine that does everything we ask him, I'm almost never felt blocked me. Any "limitation" can be circumvented in one way or another and, in general, it makes the creative user: at first, I thought the evening, outside etc. ... and have always ended up finding a creative solution bringing "by mistake" alternatives.

It is a choice I would do, for sure,
I think the average rating opinions AF is too low,
the price is affected: it is a good thing.

Roland MC808 Reviews:

I just received my last order from early March 808, and my faith, the wait is up to my expectations!

Product of an excellent finish way Fantom X Roland.
the screen is ridiculous compared to the mc909 but hey, with a little practice it will be easy enough to navigate easily through the various menu.
For the moment, I discovered the bug, and c is the big surprise his cot, it sounds really top, far ahead of a mc909!!
AC in all styles ensures that they be current or retro, no problem!
to buy eyes closed for lovers of groovebox, c is what it's best to date.
I will say more after the test to have more time

- Everything has been said above by psychoslivemusic.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration of the machine is simple once we took the stuff lol
- The functions are easily accessible despite the ridiculous display.
- The printed manual is clear in French but it does not detail the functions of editing software, but we manage to get by.
- I installed a linear array of ram (256 PC133) from an old PC lying, it works nickel. Provide a 1GB CF (about 25 € to Montgallet) and you get something perfect.

SOUNDS

- Fart sounds good in any case I like it
- The effects are good but not excellent
- The pads are not velocity (which is a shame) but I use those and I was thinking of my microKONTROL pay me an MPD24 to compensate for this lack.
- The sequencer and the possibilities of automation can make good mix
- I'm still looking what I do not like it ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks, I had an MPC 1000 and I use Reason 3 and FL Studio 6. I find the concept of groove box with its excellent sequencer, sampler and synthesizer integrated. The sounds coming out of the animals are warm and the possibilities are endless but I understand it may not be suitable for a lot of people, find you well before taking (or not). I have never used mc909 (but I've heard a lot about) so I would not compare them. Compared to the MPC 1000, I find the most comprehensive MC808 what I'm doing even if the sequence of the first is a reference.
The price / quality ratio is good compared to what the machine offers: o)
This is my first groove box, if I were to redo this choice would be without hesitation.

Many sounds and very good quality. anyway that is also a sampler so you can prndre sound we want ...
Good effects but the chorus is, to my taste, not efficient enough ...
The sequencer is, I think, easy to use when we know the machines of this type, if not at the beginning that is rather difficult ... personally, then to have it I 'd unséquenceur Yamaha QY 70, so big change ... I thought to perfectly control the sequencer would be useful, but not at all. creéation the first beat after 2 hours without reading the manual.

UTILIZATION

Some parameters are difficult to configure ... the effects are very effective, but to learn how to operate, attention ... on this point, the manual is not at all clear mzis that is, I think, the only downside that I can put.

SOUNDS

I do hip hop, so the base is all the same sample ... on this side, nothing to say, I didn 't need to do things "infeasible" is no problem, it works well.
the sounds of plants are quite effective, as the violins and electronic sounds. but some instruments like the piano is poor ... I must still admit that muvaise quality instruments are few ...

OVERALL OPINION

it's been two months since I use it. I think knowing about 70% capacity of the machine ... the least: some things can be difficult to use, even with the instruction manual
most: everything else! that is a very good machines. at the same time, I don 'ais never tried MPC 1000, s = concurrete its direct ... but I think the MC 808 is more effective just by the fact that their pads, with easy to set certain settings, can be effective as a keyboard. It is better for me to compose a machine that has sampler. € 999, it hurts, but believe me you will not be disappointed at the quality / price ratio.
This choice I would do without hesitation. and do not be undecided by the fact that this is not the "legend" Akai, because in general people prefer the security and n 'dare not think outside the box. It is on that we do not know what to s wait, I have hesitated too long between MC 08 and MPC 1000 ...

16 channels / Sequencer multistep 3 Recording Modes / Sample-based synthesis or a Roland synth made in multilayer powerful.

Connection Midi / Audio / USB / CF (bridge Midi possible)

Motorized faders, Pads, rotocoder "classic" Roland, Section effects, optical remote controller, etc ...

Specifications are detailed on the website of Roland. It is a complete machine, mixing in a form factor of a sampler groovebox multilayers, a powerful synthesizer, a sequencer and powerful aid to live performance (Chord bank, arpeggiator, one button call pattern, etc. ...).

There's no denying it, there are many functions. E is not around in 10 minutes.

UTILIZATION

Side "I can do anything" makes configuration pretty winded. The functions accessible with the machine itself is very limited, the user can change a few synth patch paramètrse as the filter, or LFOs rates.

the essential functions of composition are available live, but the advanced user will always use the supplied software, heureseuement comprehensive, patches and to refine his songs.

Auto faders are a very good initiative, they can easily change a patch or a beat live without losing other settings. This is a great addition that makes the machine very comfortable to use when we had the bar winded millions of features.

this machine can not do without a PC for advanced editing, but provides all the functions to lay a pipe in 30 seconds.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very good. Basic presets are basic, but with a little tweaking and synthesis of knowledge can be drawn from large sound system lutitimbre classic Roland. When the sampler, with the addition of some RAM, it very well decrease its function.

effects are correct, and are used easily.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 4 years now and I am fully satisfied.

Its bad credit / reputation is mainly due to purists who thought buying a groovebox 1990 under the term, and felt prisoners. This is not a groovebox primary meaning of the term, but a studio work including sound sampler, synth and sequencer with other systems seen in the live well.

It's a Swiss Army knife of impressive live setting allows the well to make any beat with ease. on the other hand, are accessible from the front that controls that can be reasonably fit to live in a benefit. The rest of the setup is done with a PC. This phase can be quite tedious but ultimately, we can not really blame him for doing his job poorly.

Instead, the controls available on the machine are a synthesis of all she can do. those who do not find their happiness were wrong machine: it does everything, but does not allow the same freedom in facade on a more specific device. to dig, push in the software menus.

You just have to have that in mind to get a view of the beast.

This choice I would do without hesitation, although I admit having to use a master keyboard in order to fully enjoy the features of the beast.

Everything is already di ... everything seems nikel except that Roland could have provided the ram with the machine, it's not a pc! In addition to the RAM is not very recent, since it is not even DDR. Do not throw away your old PC! Otherwise I would say that the faders are not bad but autom it should not be violated with, they serve more to mastering and effects of changes (possibly) live. If not quite a classic, friendly chtite VTR functions such as D BEAM (a must on now Groovebox. Another downside for some: the small screen, but with a little experience, there are ways to easily navigate.

UTILIZATION

Having already had an MC 505, I know the "basics" of the famous MC, the start was not difficult but useful to compare the two machines as long as ... The manual we cleared up quickly on the possible manipulations and there are koi have fun live (advantage over a 909 more oriented components). To be honest I am still far from exploiting the bowels of the beast but it only two days that I have the.

SOUNDS

That's it surprises me that! By itself (without module in the ass) I would say that the sound quality is amazing if you hack a bit. If I'm facing this machine because it is a grain of warm, melodic CD. Seems realistic sounds and effects are effective and non destructive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days (live hardtek / tribe) and who bought the RAM (512 MB) I can now put him 10. this machine is a beautiful piti jewelry and the ratio Q / P is decent compared to a 909 that has more of a big screen (it's only € 800 on the beast it's still bad ... jl finally got a 600), if it again, I would do this chosen without hesitate for one second!

I add that I find it unacceptable that some (slightly lower) retrograde this machine because of a lack of experience !!!!! It's not a korg sure!!

After several months of use, I add that the extension of the PC edition is very intuitive and easy to use ... Although he happens after parties not to connect to pc feniantise and there is always a way out of good sound, though the editor is a real plus buy a 808 if you have a pc or you don ' not have access to all the editor's! on the other hand for a live, no need to pc since sounds are stored in the machine! Namely, the PC edition is probably simpler than the internal editor consists of a 909 Desousa menu and sub menu ... Here it is super fast, I di ingénieu Mr RELAND and thank you for that groove that kills live !!!!!

UTILIZATION

After a few hours of getting started with glances to the instruction manual to learn Necessary for the commands, the MC-808 begins to the best of it even.
The simplicity is the appointment and the combination of touch with the 'SHIFT' ACCS provides a wealth of practical function of edition, correction, cancellation, positioning, quantization .... ...
Pure happiness!
The afternoon is squenceur gnail with mute and all rglages ncessaires style worthy of the software cubase ... mixing and effects possible with recordings of several patterns for endless variations and mixes of the song type between professionals several patterns Different.
The quality Roland sounds with effects and mastering compressor giving an overall record of sound quality CD.
Possibility to import sounds. Wav or through the USB or compact flash card and sample all the sounds and sounds unimaginable for mic or line inputs.
In short, a simple machine used despite its impressive resources.

SOUNDS

Say nothing of the ct Roland we are pleased at both the quality of the sounds Varita sounds. In addition, it is possible to edit directly on the MC-808 almost total paramtres sounds, which can not always be connected to the PC.
Only regret edition software is not compatible sound windows ME.

OVERALL OPINION

You want to stay mobile and not always dpendre a PC which is not always good enough for the music edition.
You want to get in the mix in real time, the scne, Fast Fashion in the home studio or Fast Fashion or musical arrangement combined MIDI and audio: head down then go ahead e, the MC-808 does give you that pleasure.
And for those who sulk because they are too techno or dance, she possde tons of classical style guitar sounds sche ... CRER that allow more traditional pieces, the same variation on. If you are fan of your music type 'Ambient' she can also occur, as long as your imagination and musical crativit are waiting for you.
Of pure happiness, without making head and much more Ractive some good software can be difficult to configure.
Here, just plug in, switch on and go!

It's everyone know
or see Roland

UTILIZATION

The gate is by ca cons:

I explain my c Premire machine and I must admit that I was before BAV to understand nothing but the base but I think to get them used to do roland ca

functions are difficult to achieve (sub menu)

The manual of chinese and c which are designed inge what should laugh watching the guy this gallery for their espiont camera placed in the D-BEAM

SOUNDS

Pete sounds ok but as in any of the machines are no trick
the effect may serve me casiment jami
If not for my musical style quite acid c-tek has Harkor is not always fair even in the coutry musik looking good (VIVE SUB MENU OUF)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since May 2007

The +: polivalante and efficiency (eg maaf)
the -: this operation has hit the head in the wall if your c Premire machine

I quickly tried the korg fai blue and pink lamp collgue but its my pa enjoyed

Report quality / price I am therefore Electronics BOF but since I had new avai has 700 neurons and gonna c your not a korg advantageous time to shop around

I do not think I do it again this choice I've seen the RAVE O LUTION and seem cardboard or I not say a bad machine c fo just put it right in and not be suicidal

Everything is already said.

Editing with a PC (for those who) is a definite plus. But it is more than enough on its own.

UTILIZATION

A big point by opening the box: Manual.
In French in the text, it is very educational, gives examples, a good tutorial for starter before going into the details of each part of the beast.
It is so well done that has almost pleased to open a random page that gives us a new idea, we return to another detail, etc ...
The only downside, he sometimes referred to page numbers ... are not good or do not exist!

All this is not to say that the machine is difficult to access. It is well thought out, even intuitive, you just look at it. Otherwise would not have as much power and opportunity.

SOUNDS

There are a multitude of different sounds, which are configurable entierrement: In other words, the possibilities are endless.

The card will help me personally to add loops or vocal samples (although there is as well).

The effects are quite numerous (47) but some useful for me. Their quality is average, not bad.

The motorized faders are useful though fragile (they seem anyway).

The pads are nickel, although not velocity sensitive.
Using much the Redrum in Reason, I much prefer this arrangement of pads linear rather than "square" of Akai, because it allows you to place sounds on the timeline much more user friendly. In addition they light up the rhythm of the pattern.

For my part, I made the Deep / Hard House and I board found are round and fat as I like, contrary to what I feared watching the demos on YouTube and there are mostly clips of Trance .. .

OVERALL OPINION

I ais I board for 1 week and already made a very nice loop.

It will go almost as fast as with a computer over time, except that with this machine the perfect size, no need to bother in the living room with MIDI devices and a multitude of son, and it is incidentally more stable than the software for reliability on stage. Everything is within reach (even one) hand.

I love the linear pads to place sounds. Arpeggiator functions and agreements make the job easier and more efficient, especially for the pure musician I'm not.

I had an MPC 1000 as I board sold: sampler only, no editing sounds, nazzzz, all that Roland is not ...

The value for money is good, even if everything is plastic now, but it is only better for the weight (it is light enough). By the way, we can not use the faders like a mixer, you have to go under penalty molo ... to be in pain.

I am finally happy with my machine, especially after the bad experience with the MPC. It is complete, easy to use, sounds are good, and of grouping in the studio or on stage are enormous.

All features are detailed on the website of Roland http://www.roland.fr/
To summarize:
Generator synth sounds 128-voice polyphony
8 motorized faders
Oriented sounds Dance / Techno editable at will
Sampling & Sequencing
Editor software included (PC / Mac) for editing samples, patches and parties
CompactFlash card connector (archive)
USB port (MIDI & archive: file sharing AIF / WAV) + MIDI In / Out
16 pads (several banks), D Beam, V-Link ...
No complaints, the features are excellent for the price offered. Just one problem: it lacks a MIDI Through ...
It is in fact mainly the addition of the sampler (from the MC-505) which is remarkable.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Those familiar with the Roland Groovebox know they are (initially) not easy to handle. Some manipulation 'are not very intuitive. But this is generally user-friendly.

The usual functions are they easily accessible?
Me who used the MC-303 and 505, I quickly found my bearings, despite the substantial progress functions in terms of quantity and quality.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Enough and even though complete! (150 pages anyway)

SOUNDS

The sounds are great and fit perfectly to the style that I do (dance, techno, dream, or pop). They are also subject to change at will.

The effect (applicable to a hundred sounds) are compelling. Everyone will find his account, according to its affinity and style of music.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
For three weeks, but I know the Groovebox for years (I already had before: MC303, 505).

What is so special that you like most and least?
The next "all-in-one" is great (sampler, drum machine, synthesizer, sequencer).
For cons, the difficulty of getting started for beginners can put off some.

How would you rate the quality / price?
It is excellent when one considers the overall quality of the product.

With experience, you do again this choice?
No problems in the Groovebox "tear" at all! I will always trust the Roland Groovebox.

Dj previous ones cited in the posts

UTILIZATION

I have bought three days ago and arrived dj lay paterns correct is relatively simple when you know something about this kind of machine I have also a electribe is really more accessible here You must dig a little menu to get to what you want but it's powerful opportunities are multiple edition ...

SOUNDS

The sound is clean with clear electribe see anything I knew.
Many rglage possible for the balance 16 shares.
with a MIDI keyboard is a pleasure chord arpege etc.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last few days and I'm doing pretty good dj is complex I think it's enough to search for a long time.

Polyphony and multi effects the rich sounds and shipping the samples to the knobs motoriss the beam ...

It really is a war machine sound good slap and a wealth of possibilities that I now I know a little bit to protrude with my emx I think that was going to be nice.

For the pleasure that this machine provides a person who plays with I think the price is not extreme but it's good criiiiiiiiise 700 and it's still a good investment but I am far from regretting this purchase I really m'clate with the beast ...
The only thing for me is the memory dimm drang house is really cheap is to add memory to take full advantage of the functions of samplages ...

Electribe bought this brol your life will change

See other reviews.
BUT it lacks an input jack for receiving a pedal with assignable MIDI effect. Genre Sustain, Start, Modulation, etc. ....
It also lacks a MIDI THROUGH, it was not hard to make anyway ....
A further negative point is that when touched the knobs are normally posted their values. And it works not always, for example, when the outputs Jack came into my sound card in my computer, or local said, according to the outlet being used.
A big plus for my part: The 2 separate outputs, ie programmable separately.
I also appreciate the INPUT that allows you to enter an instrument.

UTILIZATION

Complex, it took me a week to understand its handling and use as I please.
Afterwards, if you do not have the manual, you're dead. Basically, it's a bit laborious.

SOUNDS

It sends the block, it's unbelievable.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years that I have. Basically, I bought it to dial and now I'm serving in my band to play on sequences electro / indus.
It is not given, but I think it's worth. This is an excellent machine versatility. But not as it should be usable without MIDI keyboard.

896 Patches slamming!
256 patterns of plant and most of NEEDS-go box lol it rocks whether or techno rnb

UTILIZATION

the manual is very clear is true that the mc 808 is complex, but without the manual good luck

SOUNDS

point of view I'm having severe sound (I have since 2 days!)
ideal for my songs (Trance, Hardtrance ...) the kiks petes thunder
Brief 850euros (I buy new) no regrets, nothing to do with my mc 307 (if someone wants to sell it elsewhere I)

OVERALL OPINION

for 2 days
I already had my hands the mc 303, mc 307 and d2
I chilled this choice without problem!
Friends and tranceur technoman YOU EXPLODED!
