All user reviews for the Roland MC-505

SEE DATASHEET ... REGRETS ON THE STORAGE CAPACITY EXCEPT THIS CARD ALMOST FOUND SO FAR .. A USB OR SD OR DO I KNOW THAT WILL IS GOOD .. LEVEL OF LIGHTING CONTROLLER CA FEARS .. A TRUE FOR THIS DISEASE GROOVEBOX .. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS LEGIBILITY IS LOST AND WE WORK BY HABIT.

UTILIZATION

SETUP STILL PRETTY COMPLEX .. YA SEE WHAT THE BIBLE WHEN PRINTED MANUAL, THIS MACHINE CAN BRING GOOD THINGS AFTER LONG HOURS OF WORK EVEN IF IT IS TRUE ENOUGH ON LIMIT .. BUT GOOD

SOUNDS

SOUNDS ARE QUITE GOOD BUT RUDIMENTARY AGE OF DOING BEAST .. IT WILL NOT EVIL OF IMAGINATION TO TAKE SOMETHING SPECIAL. SOUNDS ELECTRO CA GOING WELL AFTER SOME ADJUSTMENTS .. FORGET WHAT IS THE CLASSIC .. COPPER PIANO, ETC .. THIS IS NAZE

OVERALL OPINION

I USED THE LAST FEW YEARS AND YET DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF TOUGH IN UNDO Me .. WELL I HAVE TO TRY TO SEE OR KORG ARTURIA EXAMPLE OF WHAT WAS GOOD BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED MORE THAN CA .. TIME WITH ME I SAY I DID NOT MAKE A CHOICE BUT GOOD MAUVAIX CA BE LYING IN RELATION TO THE TIME

quickly, 6 individual outputs, MIDI IN / OUT and no thru port for external storage media smart

it lacks a digital output (such as standards synth manufactured today) and enter.

Overall, it's okay. (Especially for outputs)

UTILIZATION

gnrale relatively simple configuration, the main functions are quickly accessible.

Trs readable thanks to two LED screens and LCD screen.

However, the functions are advanced call via key combinations, debatable, but fast.

SOUNDS

then ...
I had some good echoes of the beast (never tested before purchase) and I hang completely. I bought this machine to dial the drums TR 909, and it is TOP ...

I find the kits trsrussis. in 5 minutes, I had good rhythm and corresponding invoices that I had in my head.

trs of good bass and good sound super cheap.

It rolls and can quickly dial in short what I wanted!

etrnagement the MC is a good expander (mconnu and not char) and comes complete my set up rack already provided.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried a lot of MODELS, the MPC, the Elektron, but I tried something the TR.

Roland really, despite a number of constraints, makes good trs machines like that.

The +: the step sequencing, sounds, - shall mean the wait for a pattern to go another.

for 130 euros, you can not do better I think. I think this machine will skyrocket in the near future occasion.

For those who do not know, the MC-505 Groovebox is a squence / synth east to the game live.
MIDI connectors 1in 1out. It's just a bit.
Rich audio connectors: 1 phones, two-out mix (L and R mono) outputs 2x2 "direct out"
supplmentaires allow these outputs to route the squence of tracks without going through the effects section to use other external effects, for example. the choice of routing is done for each pattern which provides great flexibility.

The effect section includes reverb, delay and 1EFX to choose large enough: two chorus, flanger, ehancer, equal, slider, vinyl, distortion, etc ...

The squence: I do not remember all the CHARACTERISTICS. RESOLUTION The maximum is 96 ticks / time (who needs more) and flexibility quite impressive, even if the edition by computer remains flexible. In direct use, only the impossibility to copy / cut / paste parts of steps is sometimes teachers.

UTILIZATION

Good even when you're on a big machine. The grip is not in seconds.

Even when it is possible to "play" trs quickly. For more complex functions, it is necessary to delve into the manual. As I have a chance, I only have the English manual. This is damn good plutt and we found there, even if it seems to be missing some information trs pointed.

on the other hand, all the function is clear and the most common are easy to reach, even live.

SOUNDS

The sounds. Vast subject.
The sound palette is varied with four banks of 128 sounds.
The grain is plutt good, even if it may seem a little dat stuff from latest issue. Matter of taste.
For my part, I use the bebte not only for music "electro", but also for other styles, including the song.
I sometimes find it difficult prcisment the sound I want in the percussion sets. It is then necessary to get the sounds SPECIFICATIONS. For example, the Hi-Hat menu that gives hi-hat sounds throughout the tense of the keyboard. L There's the choice!

OVERALL OPINION

APRS one year of use, I am extremely satisfied with their use.
The device is obviously not free of default, but s'avre really nice.
What is really good is his ability to live. A slider track CONTRL by various functions (vol, pan, reverb, delay, EFX on / off, Megamix). Megamix function allows to substitute a pattern in one track to another pattern in live, without being obliged to CRER a pattern SPECIFICATIONS.
The allocation patterns of the "keyboard" allow great flexibility in live.

I do not comment on price, with a touch mine price ... I say this? No, I'll hurt you! Good will: 230 euros (the rating of opportunity is around 680 euros). Same at the cost of trading on occasion, worth. Today the price of nine (in 1200 euros I think) is a bit EXAGRES and there seems to be better products more top wig, especially with audio inputs to use samples that is not the case 505.

APRS Success (justification?) Of the MC-303 Groovebox Roland has produced a truly professional this time. The default that is blamed THE FIRST edition t have retained in the design of the MC-505.

Are large CHARACTERISTICS:
- Big sound bank rsolument directs Dance of quality;
- Many CONTRL in real time;
- The famous D-Beam (nice little toy INTERESTED live);
- A powerful sound editor (which I think is too advanced by Roland);
- A quality effects processor for the effects of quality (not all)
- 6 audio outputs;
- A sorites MIDI, MIDI between 1 (no spare Thru)
- 3 simultaneous effects: a delay reberb + 1 + 1 EFX

Warning: no compatibility GM / XG (but is it really ncessaire);

MIDI perspective, there is some progress: the MC-505 can be from a CONTRL squence external simultanment driver in real time. The bad thing is only 8 channels are available. on the other hand, most of the Real Time Controller can be sent or reus by MIDI. They are also Grable by SysEx messages or Control Change (CC # #) ... much more convenient than proprietary systems.

UTILIZATION

Everything seems so simple at first glance: the buttons just turn it around in all directions ... I must admit that Roland has CRER attach a machine to use very intuitive ... and it is a beautiful Russianness!

But in this gray frame hides much more ... a machine 'production Dance' really powerful. But to make full use will require manual sprigs (for softphone almost Botin). No stress: Roland also joined a small manual quick start, enough for a good time dj.

SOUNDS

The MC-505 has a range of sounds vraris of good quality (mainly electronic sounds). The factory patches are somewhat Aging. But ... The sound editor allows you to turn the infinite sonic possibilities of this machine (XP edition like The series, based on 4 layers).

Even if many are accessible by paramtres Controller, the underside of the iceberg hides many other paramtres Fast Fashion allowing sound to the smallest dtails envelopes, 2 LFO , Ring Modulator, etc.. Unfortunately, it is then in the menus and submenus ... intituivit finished!

Dance Machine requires many samples t have a chance to reboost. N'esprez not find the sounds of TR-606 or 909 such that the origin! Not content with this, Roland has placed a Controller to increase the low frquences.

The effects section is huge. The dlais and other FX can be synchroniss the tempo (internal or external), most of the effects possdent paramtres many of CONTRL. Their sound quality is good gnralement.

OVERALL OPINION

APRS four years of loyal service, this machine still keeps a place in my studio privilgie. Despite what some say, it has everything to stay 'in' in the middle of the Dance ... Should always remember the sounds and squence factory and operate beyond its capabilities groove box only (see edition of sounds).

It is also useful to carry out the updating of the OS version 1.07: Submitted the original version some bugs when using odd, especially with the D-Beam. The DSP also seems at times the limit of its capabilities.

Nanmoins, the MC-505 is a professional machine, by its quality its stability (ncessaire still live), its capabilities and CHARACTERISTICS. A minimum of exprience seems required to make the top.

I just put the features that the dmarquent of her peers:

Squence 8 tracks
Mute slectif on the rhythm part (the big ball trs)
4 oscillators per channel
Reverb, Delay, moult effects, tonnament, sound good (yes)
6 out spares
not of sound (c a little boring, a. ..)
a D-Beam, hovering well use it when we know
robust appearance of "big BCAN", not like a yamaha if you see that jveux cke

I do not put that 8 because the backup is done only by smart media card not found that Roland is trying to sell 100 euros!

UTILIZATION

The squence dchire, but only in stand-alone. 8 tracks, it is insufficient to squence of modules, it is better for a RM1x a.

100% size for live, it's amazing how much arpond.

Keyboard enjoyable, full of flashing everywhere, so that you do not get lost despite the itty bitty screen.

SOUNDS

We can go further in the trs hack is what I like.

Rhythm Kits: medium potato, may well snap even when ... if you hack you feel like it.
Arpgiatteur gnial and programmable. Lines in D-Beam gniales, but more difficult to program. Quantize PERFECT, much better than the yamaha.

Cettes BCAN is clearly made for electro torture. For acoustic sounds is plutt Mtisi (vomit in street language). But his level dchir and organic, it is fatal, is what I like most about it. It is the numrique cold enough, even when, so for large leads or other better a good plug. But you can make incredible atmosphere.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three weeks, I + / - 25 minutes of live running.

Goodies: all in one ultra intuitive sound design effects pushed the mute slectifs rhythmic, simple design and I like srieux
Cons: the fucking SmartMedia found, the fact of being obliged to wait for the end of a pattern before proceeding to the next, the sound a bit cold cold (but hey, she's going to be ending for compressor lamp in the ass, has the warmest will whine!)

Other models utiliss: RM1x yam (see anything, only used as squence) electribe "blue force" and "red force" and much sr bcp composition and sound design in software.

Report quality / price (almost new paid 300 euros): the best deal of my life, period.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...</span>

um, let's say that I feel ds limit and I still want 505-sound chelous stale, well ... I Rasht without a 2nd rflchir too long!

4 banks of 128 sounds.
1 MIDI IN 1 MIDI out (not through)
A processor with Extremely limited effect it can effect one that was managing at the same time, in addition there may very choice; (
There are many types audio (in stereo jack 2x 6.35 May we do this is usually only one (limited to technical errors)
my knowledge has no utility with pc or mac
typical sequencer roland 16 key (black) (Blache) (no sound) 4x4 time
(Vrement a super grip is made up in 30 seconds)

I give 7 because even if nothing is vrement genial she did a lot of stuff
and it is an old box grouve
for the time it rocks

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
it is not a galaire for débutan
there may baucoup buttons for the live thing is galaire
French is the doc no one can (even if your are not super good at English I still recomand the English doc (4x thinner and more)
RAPORT by a electibe must be a boss to run a 505 ...
I think that is personal: there are 10x too much about this machine
The Mieu is used as the expander
RPS are also simpa

SOUNDS

May is shit ....
quality of its already at the time with my k6 233 and my sound blaster 16 he had no dif
repetitive sounds so so quality
(We can still not too bad triturated)
May stil out of hiphop and electro kif I do not sound too (sounds Vieu Vieu roland sound sucks)

OVERALL OPINION

I'm still not separated it's my first machine
May the good is not done ...
I should have taken a RM1x I think ... (One can out later)
pay 7000 francs (€ 1,050) at the time aiiiiiiiil aiiiiiil

it was there u had the electibe MX or SX ...

- Connection issue, at least for my helpful I am pleased with this device trs. Although the peddle on this level.

- Speaking of sound, not great dmarquement brand. For against the kick drum kits and have a DIFFERENT 'tain of EHJV crazy. Indeed as I live when I get my product and I can link to a live machine the'autre. I use a yamaha rm1x and 505 mc for all my lives. So I can mix the two sounds. Just issue kicks, it's pretty dstabilisant falling on Yamaha just under the fishing issue roland kicks. But good overall it's perfect.

- The effects section is based on my desire paramtrable gots with three assignable knobs. But I do not understand, my faders dparts ffects of, pan and volume etc. etc. go on peanut lol some time ... jme up with all zero-... the charm of the south: D

- I have not the trs squenceur well in hand, but I immediately find hints of Titus as and ... I admit quite complicated but the ring at your fingertips APRS good hours ... and the world is yours.

UTILIZATION

- NO, jai dj set a good year matriser all the "tricks" to use my background yamaha mc 505 rm1x then I'm not there yet ... but I dj matrise the good motivation of bte. I appreciate the control of what is envelope is more intuitive, and more than prcis rglages the screen. on the other hand, something a little chmutz is to always save the patch with reverb etc etc and all effects assigned, otherwise the 505 mc does not keep in memory the fx and the sound of you refous 'And that's orignine CHIANTI.

- Everything is there, filter, reso, atk, including lfo particulirement fast rules, unlike others where to go in many submenus ...

- What manual?? It's been a long time since I gave up, too complicated and it's going too fast hihi, no but it is always good to have this pile of paper on hand to not miss any trick or tip of our beautiful machine ...

SOUNDS

- Dedicates the trance, the two producers Nu Nrg make all their lives with the mc. It can also tweak the sounds dj properly inflated to departure.

- Trsralistes, greasy ... do not sound like dmo, own the hardware but trs ill classs in the machine ...

- Effects made to the sounds offered by the machine, nothing more or less, the filters are super powerful and SETTING THE filter envelope and trs effective too. Fun great with the D Beam but do not forget to dye otherwise it'll make a beautiful mess lol.

- Uh I have some problem this time of noon, and aftertouch shit everywhere lol but all in all: happy

OVERALL OPINION

- I use mc for 10 months ... I know it's little but I am locked in my studio 24/24

- The best: the beam of the envelope, lfo management, sound / Least: ergonomics sequencer, acquire automation to save sth ...

- Er not tell the truth, I'm Aries and I started to head THE FIRST roland and I did well

- Ben I bought it second hand and I forget the original price so I can not tell you ...

- Yes, certainly, the experience brings counsel, the evidence with my yamaha rm1x jai galr to beginners, I have overcome, and I do not spare mnt more

To illustrate my point, I&#39;ll try to give you an idea of ​​the 505 from the Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309 (QM 309) and MC-303 sequencer ... As it is difficult to make less intuitive than the 309, even if the 505 is not free from defects in particular relating to the method "step sequencer" that does not change in real time while the pattern is playing (as it can be done on a TR808/909). There are Mixermaps all made for older versions of Cubase if you can download and recognizes the 505 SX directly, you just plug it in and configure cubase it takes 15 seconds. As for the 309 ... You really sound diver.

Gadget, then it seems like that the D-Beam it useless? So one could explain why the theremin live are so popular with the public? Without messing around, it&#39;s excellent D-Beam! Of course it&#39;s useless in the home studio, but live against controlling the cutoff and resonance of the filter by moving the hand over the bike, it&#39;s huge!

UTILIZATION

Talking about appearance, at first. The biggest problem is the 505 size in my opinion. While it&#39;s nice to have everything in front and have 295 knobs to fiddle with (and are used at all, believe me) but it does in any standard aluminum suitcase and it is difficult to find a flight in which she returned. 309 by the cons is quite small and very portable and fit easily into any suitcase aluminum at 10 euros at Brico Depot (it is the size of an MC-303).
The 309 is really nice, it must be said: the front is brushed aluminum pro (especially if you add the sides of wood so 70s found easily on ebay), the knobs are of high quality and buttons broad and indestructible. And LEDs are blue or red, the class. The jog wheel for cons is very fragile and easily falls down. The 505 is a bit flashy and takes the appearance of the toy 303 and the bad habit of having stuff Electribe lights that light up with lots of colors like acid green and red tremblouille. But it is as indestructible as the 309 and use an intensive live did cause problems in several years and the jog wheel never falls down on the 505/303 for some reason, which fails is the LCD screen.
Sound side, the 309 has much less possibilities but its really a feature. To illustrate my words, think that it is a TR 309 909 in much less intuitive, coupled with TR 707 to the sounds heard at the con and two TB 303 bassline of which is easily accessible and the other not, all mated to a multi-effect section not very convincing and almost impossible to use if the machine is not connected to Sound Diver on your PC. The 505 is also in a series against TR (still no real step sequencer worthy of the name, yet it is a roland machine) coupled with several d-110 (a digital synth unfairly overlooked because it is not only to program but with such incredible opportunities for the sounds of pads) that are insane wealth in terms of synthesis and a filter convincing (it&#39;s not a moog, either, but it&#39;s not that crap team the 309) and a multi-purpose use including uneven but truly live. Knowing that the 505 has "only" 8 channels but the facade can effectively control all the ... where the 309 has only four that are hell to control in real time. The only advantage the 309 is that most of the drum sounds are accessed and modified live simply and directly and are in front, while the 505 kits are available via a menu (not too complicated anyway).

When the manual, the size of the directory of the Bouches du Rhone, it is translated into Javanese in Chinese translated into French ... But it is useful anyway!

SOUNDS

The sounds are what you do, like any synthetic because it is a true (or more true) Synths, equally difficult to program than the other ... but trust me, it&#39;s worth it to read the manual just for them.

OVERALL OPINION

Total:
- To my right, the 309 is a drum machine with a pretty basic improved section simplistic bassline that&#39;s it&#39;s a very distinctive and not unpleasant, and not for her it is very suited to live (unlike reputation, it is suitable only for simple manipulations like djing from your patterns already stored). And then it&#39;s "in" to have a 309, it&#39;s electro authentic, not like I have the same machine as everyone else.
- To my left, the 505 is an integrated real groovebox all very imitated never duplicated (and I know what I am because I have a Electribe EMX-1 that does not mesh at all sides) with sound capabilities including synthetic absolutely phenomenal (and pads are among the most beautiful I have ever heard, comparable to a d-50-finally loved ones in the d-50) and a handy Step Sequencer , which is that she can support a set of 45 minutes alone without blushing one second and pleasing to the public through the D-Beam, and not for her it&#39;s a big heavy objects and bulky and not very pretty . What&#39;s more, the 505, it is so good that it is widespread and you go to a badger if you have one. Slap me, I love the 505, and the choice again I bought one tomorrow if it fails.

I read lower than the bike is "designed for DJS" I am not a sound engineer, but I Trifouille synths for over ten years and I believe this comment is completely false. While it could pass for just the 303 is a toy for the turntable turntables, as the 505 is a true multi-synth as should all Grooveboxes (and are no longer as the latest korg) I want simple to prove that I have for several months and I have not done with any piece in which there is a rate (in fact I&#39;ve never used the rhythm section) and I only of the ambient synthetic Schultze is the purpose for which I destined ...

CHARACTERISTICS major (For more details see other advice and / or data sheets):
- Squenceur 7 1 (rhythm) with mute tracks slctifs (+ sllctifs mute for the part ryhmique)
- 4x128 patch (sound) + 2x128 plant patch use
- 4 waves ditables sparment (pitch, filters, LFO, pan ...) by max patch (which can be said in passantpas lot of possibilities)
- Reverb, Delay, FX 1 (warning it can have an effect by pattern)
- 6 6.3 + jack outputs 1 headphone output jack 6.3
- Between 1 and 1 MIDI output
- Between 1 to switch (assignable to a ribenbelle paramtres DIFFERENT)
- Possibility of backup smart MDIA 5V (attention not found!)
- At the physical interface provided but remains relatively prvoir purchase supplmentaires MIDI controller (keyboard controllers with knob / fader ...)
- Arpgiateur (but not overkill practice, it is not that big of electribe), and a toy the D-Beam (I do not know too well what its worth I have never taken the time to learn me serve).

UTILIZATION

Well it is clear that for ct intuitive, it is not the korg ... Bcanne I love this, but hey it's true we must recognize that we must s'pencher srieusement the manual (which has nothing paiseur envy the Bible and the Koran r unnis ...) to get to use all the possibilities of the above-named machine.
APRS this tutorial ncssite that a lot of practice time, the 505 offers the possibility of CONTRL Live trs cool (inparticular mute and fader section) for APRS more paramtres on hand as I try dj said will acquire one or more MIDI controller. I know I rpeter but it is a machine that is built for the Live, live and says says CONTRL live so its still nice to have all custom settings on hand, and more amme for the composition of a master keyboard is far from being too much.
In terms of squenceur Creations and patches must also take the time. Ds you want to get a little tweak to the bottom of your or your squence millipoil patches to have to get through the menus and sub menus and sub sub menu ... Anyway once understood his logic runs well.
In short, its still a bcanne that runs well once it is handling. We will put 8 (when the manual is even a sacred by Botin comprhensible always when you do not grasp the logic of the machine). on the other hand I'm frankly not agree with the view Previous, the overall logic of the machine is far from being amateur, you just get used to it because, again, c is far from being intuitive.

SOUNDS

Then the high dbat these sounds ... Ben at dpart, it's clear the boiboite is oriented trance, techno, and dance.
Taking the patch factory (or rhythm), its a little cheap ... But the big advantage of this machine is the multitude of opportunities it offers its Contents when looking at the edition of the patches. Its often takes time but once you find the right sending her his good! His is a machine working on the synthse while it is on, you can not redo the Symphony with radio frequency, but it can sound pretty good shot chelou to be of much lctro triturated plans or trip-hop cool or good sounds jungle ... At the end we can have all the same great many low rounds and many powerful kick of breath, and lead lctro very nice ... I also have a soft spot for Charleston gnralement sounding good.
As against it clear that it could easily be accompanied by a kind squenceur sampler Korg ESX from home, but hey, each his and her fawn zik work ...
Note: Be careful, it's not a sampler impossible to get personal dedant sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Its good points:
- Obviously the squenceur (Roland is that they actually like a!) on the other hand need to be careful, the brain of the 505 is not really that Einstein so be careful with info overload
- The pannel of sonic possibilities even if you really take time to fiddle with the sounds (most of the factory sounds as if even cheap trs)
- The fader section above practice, the same two sries mute switch
- Small convenient modes (I think particulirment the RPS to play phrases at the touch of a pad)

Ngatifs his point:
- The near impossibility to intervene on the squence live (and yeah renregistrer to other sentences in a pattern that is playing is just off ... shame ...)
- The factory sounds cheap and effects often not always convincing (except for the LO-Fi, a vritable killing!)
- The ct and empty some of the complicated ptit can (Boss book and your MIDI if you REALLY want to use the bottom)
- I almost forgot ... Ben like everybody else ... This memory card **** could not be found!

Finally a beautiful creature that's worth, got question!

How many sounds and styles available? much love to his hyper style and vary salsa, reggea, mambo, chacha, jazz, ragga, hiphop (to playing a GTA san andreas the opening credits is the mc505 but hey I made the big techno genre
Jeff Mills, moopup, PowerTools, pownding groove etc. ...... Features level if I give it 9 / 10

UTILIZATION

For people who are still working with Korg Electribe risk of shock is complicated by roland my time once we have understood the truk its rolling away the manual is not for the beginner

SOUNDS

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa his love has nothing to do with korg
its realistic sounds when you listen to the demo I feel that listen skeud spotted in stores
by Korg's sound play against fisher price

OVERALL OPINION

I kif kif but I even as I add my Monomachine
With experience, you do again this choice? .. yes well as I would buy 2
LONG LIVE THE BIG TECHNO TONTON

listen to his familly and it is the family is sacred:
http://www.myspace.com/expresscompany

Features already mentioned.
Many factory sounds, and an indefinable number as they are fully editable!
A good effects section

UTILIZATION

Configuration not easy for a beginner .. but with the manual at hand we learn soon enough! this is my first machine and I have a good mid me today has managed to make a piece for my taste! The manual is well done but as I find another said "it has nothing to envy in the bible!" There are many functions so they are not always obvious to find, but the fact that there are many buttons on the face much easier!

SOUNDS

So I do the DUB! well sounds ideal to me! I insist because nobody had really talking about the dub! When I listen to the many pieces of jvois demos you can do very terrible things in hiphop, jungle (...) even salsa! Personally I was very pleasantly surprised by the realism of certain sounds!
The effects are effective for my taste (including effects such as "phase" terrible to put on the skank!
The expression is good
Knowing that the sounds are completely editable they can all be good!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some time but I am already very happy. I hope to see more good things in it!
I love all the knobs on his face! Ptite the mixer in the middle of her head with some mute! The envelope! The knob to boost the bass!
I tried several models, including the korg that I find absolutely zero sound levels, comparable to the groovebox, I restates that it is for the dub!
Knowing that I paid 200 euros OCCAZ 'I find the price / quality ratio TERRIBLE!
I think I do it again this time even more choices!

See data sheet

UTILIZATION

Not easy at first, indispensable manual for proper use of its potential seems endless to me!!
manual do well with a good summary and some very specific as desired using al
c machine for live with a multitude of effects on each patch contrallable in real time with specific pots
rps function makes the possibilities even greater
if the sequencer is al image of all Rolands, extra!

SOUNDS

Kit of drums such as the famous tr 909/808/707, others much style, not bad sound but I find that the patches of origins are not terrible by a low, but given the potential changes and application of effect sounds are customizable al infinity.

OVERALL OPINION

10 years already that it got anywhere, home studio, live, repeating with my old groups, beef and mix on my hip hop / funk / drum n bass would sell ...... I do not, I I create so many beat of live, delirium with ......
Even ten years after I n that operates 60% of its possibilities, despite the hundreds of hours without a work disappointed.
considering the price of the occasion I counsel all lovers of electro and beats but beware the handling is difficult and the edition of paterns also for novices (manual required!) otherwise modifying the patch is infinity.
I repeat myself but the sequencer is terrible c is the roland, the edition is not no pretty complicated and not always real time quantize.
with serious work you can do everything in its type electro.
thank you roland!

Groovbox superb with a good amount of sound that can grind with filters and effects, a very good harpege

UTILIZATION

Use on the machine is a bit complicated in the edition and noon, the manual is not simple lack of clarity, I use a software sequencer that allows me to record in real time and sysex what makes my life easier although the machine is a bit capricious and little bugger when sending MIDI

SOUNDS

Trs electro sounds, kits Rhythmic very good for the electro is EXCELLENT, the rhodes piano and not the top

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and am delighted about the game and sound despite its use is complicated by the difference of the Korg I'm happy
purchase of 250 euro is EXCELLENT occas
