The MDF3 is a recorder / player 1 MIDI sequence track 16 channels.
The connection comes down to a MIDI in, MIDI out 1, 1 pedal input for footswitch control start / stop and a power connector for an external transformer.
No sound internally.
Its role is limited to that of a notepad MIDI or a floppy sequences fast and convenient for the stage.
Floppy disk 2HD.
Battery powered too.
Midifile compatible with a small change on the floppy via PC.

UTILIZATION

The manual is well detailed considering the simplicity of the device.
The functions are few, but the vocation of MDF 3 is not to be a multi-sequencer to create complex pieces.
It does also not edit the songs, except to change the tempo.
Easily configurable, it allows you to program chaining, repeated readings, can be synchronized with another sequencer or other MIDI hardware (useful for recovering sequences from another device).
Can also be used as backup sound bank by noon dump of sync for a second sequence automation dtd ... in fact, it spits out absolutely everything that makes him swallow MIDI and cash rather well, despite its small.

SOUNDS

No sound interne.Ce is not its role.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1999, first to replace a pro24 + atari for the stage (small footprint, ease of use, speed of execution, chaining possible ...). Then as a backup of my sound banks perso.Enfin as a recorder / player automation noon in sync with a recorder dtd.Pourquoi buy a gas plant when it needs only basic functions of a sequencer? Real-time recording of the 16 midi channels, can name the files, copy disks, midifile player, portable sequencer stage, solid ...
I found it a bit expensive to buy (3200F at the time) given the limited editing features but it saves me a lot of time, place, and avoided hours of making your head! !
If it did not exist would have to invent!
