Nowadays people are looping the same 16 steps for eternity, when back in the day people at least had the decency to stretch those 16 steps to 32 bars.

Thankfully I had the forsight to buy 10 of the 5 volt smart media cards before they stopped production and became collector items. I've been playing underground parties in Detroit several times a year for 2 decades and the the 505 is always a crowd pleaser, usually as the sun is rising. Liked and subscribed.

Roland used a different voltage card to the other manufacturers so that made matters even more fluffed up. Typical Roland. With the memory card the machine is a lot more stable for some reason.. They are like rocking horse shit to find. I guess that demand for such a specialised hack for the MC 505 is quite low compared to a vintage SP, MPC etc. Its a shame because it is a good instrument for live set.

The trade off in many of these all-in-one, late 90s grooveboxes (and many current ones) is the anemic sound.

This was an uneventful purchase for me a while back. I did sell it. Very interesting all the layers of the JV sounds however by the time I figured out how to program it because it's really deep but you are left scratching your head. I didn't think it sounded too good because of the way the sound engine was tuned. I wish they would put a modern MC 707 into the chassis of the metal boxes with multi outputs. Remember the MC 505 came out after a bunch of plastic drum machines and groove boxes have been on the market for a decade. Point in case: any manufacturer can move from cheap plastic to something a little more substantial and metal with a better looking layout at any time in the lifecycle of making products. Once you go full plastic, you don't have to stay there. Can we stop going full plastic!

Nice episode :) I have the mc-505 and like the JV sound engine with the eg adsr sliders, lfo knob, arpeggio, mixer, slicer effect... And then maybe send the synt sound through a T-resonator. My tips for next bad gear is the Yamaha qy300

Lol I wanted this machine so much when I was a teenager and now as an adult I have much more, but less time to have fun and make as much music as I did when I was at that age! Thanks for the video!

got my 505 the day it came out, i made extensive use of the megamix while performing my stuff, it allowed me to move from pattern to pattern seamlessly. The RPS was cool to "showcase" a bunch of tracks to friends without having to scroll for them i performed for almost 8 years with that machine, sometimes just it with a mixer and guitar pedals on the 4 independent outs, sometimes with a ef303 and sp 303

Alot of people talk a lot about filters being warm. First time I've heard anymore describe a filter as cold! Bad gear counterpoint pedagogy! 👏👏🙏

I bought one about 4 years ago and I love it. I mainly use it as a synth module & edit it via my master keyboard.
