@@CrusaderGeneral no it is not indeed!! Did you ever know why he throws around that odd sort of ‘can’t put my finger on where’ accent that he has made one of his key distinguishing features?!? The truth is, the Mr. Pilz is just one of an unknown number of alter egos belonging to one Mr. Alex Ball. Someone once threatened to blackmail Alex by rendering his social credit score too low to cope with, by threatening to accuse him of being a bot. So Alex caught onto the cyber bullies and with quick thinking he hatched his plan. To create yet another other synth gear enthusiast who would seem in every way unique on his own. BUT, he added this distinct accent of Mr. Pilz as a defensive sort of distraction for anyone who might actually look into the legitimacy of Mr. Ball for themselves. He is hoping that doing so would reveal to the curious one Mr. Audio Pilz, with his Bad Gear channel. SO Mr. Balls’ intentions all along were to Create a trap for cyber delinquents of the most sinister magnitude. If I recall correctly, I can remember he said that it was a “plan troll for trolls by implementing a red herring!”

Before the MC-808 release, I used to work on several occasions for Roland, next to other work areas, I did some sound, kit, and pattern preset programming for some of their groove boxes and synthesizers, hence you may find some of these within the later MC-808 factory ones. The predecessor MC-909 was a powerful and somewhat underrated piece of gear, I've been using it quite a bit and found the programming via the MC-909 EDITOR extremely convincing. It has a lot under the hood. The major dealbreaker for me was that after switching between patterns, faders and knobs wouldn't allow for smooth value pickups and this was making the MC-909 a no go for live performances, especially the faders for track volumes were useless in this regard. Something that companies like Elektron got right by using endless encoders. In one of the meetings with Roland, I expressed my frustration about what I felt was the biggest handicap of using the MC-909 live. Then, it must have been a year or two later, just before the opening of the Namm Show the MC-808 was introduced, I've been attending an internal meeting with Roland, and they showed me the MC-808. I was like, what the hell is this? The lack of a display and interfacing via any kind of knobs or faders (other than the motorized ones) felt like a terrible mistake, regardless of how much I was into the software editor. So I've been rather underwhelmed and to the surprise of the present Roland folks showed no excitement. After some moments of confusion one guy said, but it was you who mentioned that motorized faders could be a solution for your problem, didn't you suggest us the concept? My mind went "f...k" what the hell did go wrong? They took on the motorized faders I mentioned in a footnote, but forgot about the rest? Long story short, Roland gave me an MC-808 and I worked on additional patterns for them, but I never felt comfortable with that thing and it didn't stay long.

Hi. A personal update: Remember how I obsessed about the MC 808's sequencer being able to recorded poly aftertouch and wanting one badly? I have in the mean time found out that the sequencer of my trusted old W30 can record and edit Poly AT data as well! Roland was well ahead of the MIDI pack at that time! So I have dusted off myself and my W30 after years of neglect (Yep, I am so old I bought it new) and everything is still working! The W30's sequencer might no have as many bells and whistles as that of a DAW but it can all the essential stuff and is ultra stable. For people who can live with a tracker style numeral environment it still "ticks all the boxes". Another bonus is that I can now also reuse all the unique user samples in which I put so much work in the past. Back to the future, dude! My tip: It's high time you give it a whirl on your channel, if only to see how you react when it cramps your typical pattern based workflow. 🙂

Pilzaddict here, I used to own one, it was not so bad, but really lacked character as a standalone. Worse of all, the CPU would get crunchy after about 10 tracks (if I remember, it was something like 10 years ago). However, I did get some nice grooves out of it

I have one and I love it, except that the D-Beam never fully disables and leaves a squeal in everything, using it with headphones drives me nuts. But my musical interests started with drums and I love how well the 808 handles accents and such, you can get really dynamic and fluid in the drum department.

There's only one Roland groovebox that remains to cover. The holy grail of Roland groovebox Bad Gear: The Roland MV-8000. It's either "bad gear finally good" or "good gear gone bad". Either way, I have faith that you can handle it, Florian!

The MV 8000 wasnt a groovebox, it was a full-on music production station for serious producers. It was directly aimed at the MPC and did very well. It was hardly "bad gear" and anyone who say it was obviously were inexperienced. That is one piece of pro studio gear that doesn't belong on this show..
@mc2engineeringprof2 жыл бұрын
@@TK-hz4ss I've got one, too. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, most of the gear that Florian covers on his videos is not "bad gear" at all.
@TK-hz4ss2 жыл бұрын
@@mc2engineeringprof well, no, there have been plenty of times he has showcased bad gear, but its all subjective anyhow, so whats junk to one person is gold to the next
@mc2engineeringprof2 жыл бұрын
@@TK-hz4ss I think the takeaway is that "anything can be good gear in the right hands and with the right use case". The MV-8000 is no better a piece of gear than the Nord Lead 2, the Roland System - 1, the OP-1, the AN1x, the X-Station, or countless other pieces he's reviewed. I love mine, but the thing takes forever to boot and load samples, the memory is paltry (even when upgraded), the screen miniscule (you need the VGA/mouse adapter, really), the .mvo patch format is obscure, the onboard synth is pretty pathetic, the effects are limited, the IO isn't great, there's no ADAT, who needs turntable / phono jacks?, there's lots of menu diving, etc, etc. I still love it, but there's plenty of reasons that it's "bad" in some people's eyes. I think Florian will love it, though, and I can't wait to see what he could do with it. I think he'll be shocked.

I used to have one of these. It was hard to get into without the editor, which didn’t work well. The faders use was not ideal. But I remember it sounding very good! The arpeggiator was great, and the drum kits were very punchy. It was NOT a dumbed down MC909, this is a common misconception due to the lack of surface conteol and smaller screen, but in fact it was more capable and it sounded much better, like light years ahead. It was the grandfather of Overbrigde, but people didn’t get then. Had it not been abandoned by Roland’s support, I might still have it.

Lovely patina on those rubber pads and keys on the midi keyboard :P I recent got hold of a MC 101 groovebox. Sadly roland has not got ridden of the software dependency if you want to deep edit the sounds. And to make matters worse, it requires a payed subscription to their cloud service to get acces to the editor. So it seems they have gotten backwards in some regards on their newer grooveboxes.
