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!

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!
