Rolands retro-answer to the MPC500, the MS-1 came out around 1995, ran on AA Batteries, and featured some common Roland themes like LONG & STANDARD sampling modes. Of course when you changed this on the MS-1 EVERY sample in current memory would half time when you went from say, STANDARD to LONG- led to some cool mistaken foundsounds. Overall kind of limted, but worth diving for at a yard sale-

ive looked into this sampler. It even had a real basic built in sequencer. I'd like to have one just for fun. Ive seen em go on ebay for under $100

Yeah a basic sequencer that just remembers button presses. Realtime only, no bpm, no quantizing. I looked into the MS-1 before I got my first sampler an Akai S-20. The S-20 was fun but it's sequencer was the same as the MS-1.

I've had this thing for 11 years and never knew this. After dabbling with it, not that bad. I just recorded a sequence(4 bars) on lofi and sent it to the MPC for a good chop, then assigned chops into effects, then to individual pads on the 606. The air can comes out.
