Hi all,

Ben from the previous opinion that does not want to buy a mc-303, I would say that the machine is to make his first compositions. It is ultra-complete and impressive any beginner in electronic music. (I mean really a "beginner-beginner" eh) have a PC or a machine learning too easy clamp electro music on the hardware, the ear first ...

The connection is sufficient to begin.

Sounds supposedly are not editable, it's true that the rhythm part is a little light, but no matter, the sounds of drum kits can be placed in public areas synths. A lot of different sounds, special sounds roland become known and well used, it can be good too (as totally the opposite if they are used as is, without modification).

Effects contrary to the legend very well. Just figure out how to solve them in the sub-menus, and it rolls. (These are effects very well for a beginner, if by turning the knob, you will not hear them, open the manual)

The sequencer is really complex, but my "brain of the European" (according to the previous opinion) helped me find the manual in pdf and then print it so that I can use the machine with his eyes closed or almost .

UTILIZATION

The functions are simple ... machine is a basic but in 1996, at ease, there was already better. (But not as many sounds, functions ...)

It's still not easy to do so, but there is the challenge with this capricious groovebox, understand, but once understood, it's slippery!

The manual can be a torture if it has already opened a manual yamaha, even at the time, too, must do so.

SOUNDS

The sounds are of course electro, it is the roland sounds, they're already all bent and twisted, we hear everywhere, TV, radio, movie soundtracks, teuf, etc ... It is not uncommon to recognize familiar sounds in many different music.

For me, the sounds are enough for this machine and use to do with it. The problem of export twelve o'clock the bride wanted to use it to mock-ups, otherwise fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I have long, 7 or 8 years, with many exits (small live), equity head of satisfaction, reflection ...

After spending time in the closet, I decided to renovate to find the comfort of original work.

The 505 is cheaper and more maintenance, but it is still better.

If as a beginner, you do not have much patience, do not too damaging and please someone who likes to dig the brain (it is sometimes as interesting as making music - sometimes only ...)

Many people will be dropped to the delight of those who know how to use it is limited to patient people, I'm repeating myself, but with the record, we can take some time for a top-notch dj .

It is not really made for dancing teuf 5000 people, but the personal pleasure of going out and taming its own pattern, gives good prospects for compositions.

That's it for me! and this is only my opinion!
