    Roland MC-307Published on 11/22/08 at 02:33

    Most features have already been described, but I think we really too much with this machine.
    Many sounds available, very few are valid, and the effects are mediocre at embeillir a little less ugly sounds.
    Sequencer step-by-step not bad in itself, but the small hard plastic pads are very cheap and not at all pleasant

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is not "complicated" once we have understood, but its use is not practical, it must go through menus, submenus, select a setting and move, and then again with another and with these hard plastic buttons is boring quickly (say it) and uncomfortable this may sound silly to say this, but I assure you that ultimately it is tedious, and it…

    SOUNDS

    Sounds, as I said above, are not really terrible or non existent.
    The percussion sounds are still going to add that bit of reverb, but it's still pretty cheap and not very "malleable". It does not sound or it sounds cheap. I know I can nitpick a lot about her, but there nonetheless, putting 200 to 300 (!) Euros in there, you must be crazy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's a toy. Sub-weigh there, you see, there's nothing inside. A box that makes it cheap. Even a basic Electribe done better.
    I hallucinate that it would sell 200 to 300 €! However, I bought mine at that price to resell quickly after, but less expensive, it was obvious, even though I was disgusted.
    If you have 100 to 200 €, take a small Electribe: it will sound better, easier, and more importantly, you'll have fun right away. If you have 200 to 300 € and up, take a drum machine, such as Akai XR-20 with synths sound really pretty, or large Electribe: the ESX-1 sampler made, and forms wave so it can be used as groovebox, and it sounds really. I do not bump for Akai, Korg or to or for a music store, but really, if you want quick access to sound and create music in an intuitive and enjoyable, exploring without taking the head, the MC-307 should be prohibited, or negotiate around 150 € up!

    I'm not saying this to bring harm to sellers of MC-307, I'll surely notice similar to that sells Rm1x also too expensive in my opinion, while at least, it can serve as a sequencer (but just about everything).
    I just want to avoid future buyers disappointment I had when I paid mine not far from 300 € and when I realized it was a complicated machine, which does not sound, and ultimately off-putting .

    For 300 €, we can have an analog synth, or a virtual analog of good quality. It may be different, but still ... an MC-307 to 200 €, it is a scam. At 300 €, it's theft.
