hi
i read interesting thing about this machine. for example that it is capable to load/save samples or to sample. also to capture inside performance. ok, it has only 6sec for every 4 parts, but i worder how the quality of samples is, in what format it saves etcetc
i know it can also chop samles in order to make other loops.
it goes with smartmedia.
and, naturally, it is a groovebox (maybe in mc-303/307 style), but what kind of sounds it has?
when you apply the fx can you do that for indvidual part/synth? how many synth parts you have?
it is not very very cheap but less expensive/little than the mc-909...

if you ever try this tell me something about it.
ps
i downloaded the manual yet but i would like to know also "human" comments on it :)

Not sure if you've read the user comments here yet: http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/mc09.php

The machine looks interesting, people seem to be positive about it, but I haven't ever seen or used one in my life. In fact, first time I heard about it.

thanx phemox
yes, i read those comments and the others on sonicstate.
i looked also some videos on youtube. but sometimes youtube quality sound is not a good "witness" to make ourselves an idea of product like this.

maybe i will try with roland.us

If you can get one for under 100€, I probably would try to get it. From the looks of it, it's pretty impressive for a 7-year old 150$ product. 8)

yes, me too. until now i found only between 200/250€, a little expensive indeed, but the sampling part maybe justify the whole thing (poor editing at all, by the way)...

By the way, the reminds me, I think Timfortexas has an MC-09. Saw one on his pictures in the "art" thread elsewhere on this forum.

i found it , it ws Drewzle, the studio pic thread http://sp-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4626&start=45, i also foget i was yet interested on this machine: if you read the comments on his studio you will see...
anyway, maybe the mc-09 is just good for acid synths sounds and it's not that versatile...in the manual i read other types of sound too, but...


i wrote him a pm.

yes it is. i talk with him with some PM and it seems a limited but not bad machine. i would like to push its maximun possibilities in sampling tricks+acid bass/synths...plus it can capture what you do (only 6 sec every 4 part, but ok)

yes, i copped instantly.
i found 2 mc09 in france for 200€ and 250€ (price like this without shipping!), that's crazy...

i could make a little review when i'll receive it if you want

Yeah man, a review would be cool. :)

I'm probably going to cop an SP-404 first though. Not sure if I want the old or new one though. Choices choices choices. :p

By the way I've seen those MC-09s for 200€ and more here too, waaay too expensive...

Yeah, same here. People try to sell an RS7000 for 800€. Crazy. :shock:

I wouldn't pay more than 300-400€ for that machine, even though it's a classic piece of gear.

yes, 500€max.
but i didn't undestand well the potential of this machine. is it only a sampler in electribe style or also a synth?
