Roland MC303 Live Set

[@superdisco101]

This is a masterpiece. Do you Know?

[@henryburner]

Feeling some Drexciya vibes here. I had no idea the MC303 could sound like this. Well done!

[@deloubli143]

maaan i love that drexciya/detroit vibe

[@ianedmonds9191]

Detroit FTW!

[@IknowJones]

So far still on of the best mc303 videos out here

[@jeroentiem1]

Wow, this is the best performance on the mc303 ever. Just got my mc303 back after 25years, still one of te best.💋

[@robhealy3700]

I had this in 1996 and failed out of college for playing with it all day HAHAHA

[@sakkemakke]

Very dystopian stuff! Drexciya and Dopplereffekty things going on here - love it! ❤

[@warmrollsforthetable]

My 303 is my favorite instrument. I own maschine (multiple) and komplete, and 9/10 unless I'm sampling, I prefer to just mess around on the 303, and I consistently get good stuff out of it. You can mix your patterns, apply effects, and the arp is dope af. People that complain haven't read the manual.

[@Veksta]

Poop Missle I had one pretty much 20 years ago and got rid of it probably 15 years ago. I listened to some tracks I wrote back then and legit just bought another one. Going to grab an 808 too because they are cheap AF now! I need to stop selling gear as I always eventually regret it!

[@fender1000100]

That's right. Theres a cover of Robert Miles CHILDREN on youtube done with just the MC303. Anyone hearing that will come to understand this is NO TOY.

[@mrblister8359]

@@Veksta same here i sold my gear and went with daws spent do much time waisted dealing with vst's i have a massive collection. But just bough 2 mc303's after watching terrence dixon videos of him doing live sets on youtube.

Huge props. Sounds like a whole Daw worth of work. Big up the MC303. Luv and Peace.

[@Michael-dm1lr]

Just got my MC-303; these things are future classics. And nobody knows yet. And read the manual.

[@redconfetti]

I just nabbed one for $230. Feels like a steal. I was thinking of getting a Behringer 909 clone, but I noticed this thing is an 8-track realtime sequencer, has 606, 808, and 909 sounds, plus EDM synth sounds. I'm going to RTFM for sure.

[@LaurentDiscShowMan]

JAJAJAJAAA..De ahora la MC 303 de Roland..cuando salio fue unexito y mas todavia con la MC 505..Yo tube la MC 909 convinada con el Quasimidi Sirius que todavia lo tengo y ambos juntos por MIDI eran muy buenos y potentes funcionando y sonando..Bien animo con todas las cosas y vayamos todos con alegrias y felicidades...

[@whiskerblister]

ive barely seen these used and everyone of these sequences is in a completely different class than anything ive ever seen done on one before :o good shit! the sounds as well as performance.. the value of knowing what youre doing in action! love seeing people jamming on gear they clearly know well

[@GeyloFollen]

Thanks! Imagine how fun was playing this in 1996 when computers weren't as powerful as they are now. The big limits of this machines is where the fun is, trying to push your envelopes further is very challenging.

[@whiskerblister]

@@GeyloFollen completely feel you there. early this year i started using ableton to sequence synths after having only used hardware sequencers. finding its easier for me to program in my electribe 2 and basically record it back out to ableton as is, send to other stuff. i definitely prefer working within some confines!

[@jackstonehenge]

People complain that this unit has a very 90's sound. It seems to me, that's it's charm.

[@felixgourd116]

dope work on that 303

[@zarcon85]

brings back a lot of memories...i still have two 90min Tapes full of complete electro tunes i did on that thing...mid/late 90s. i shouldn't have sold it. still a great toy for fiddling around or doing sets like this. great job, BTW.

[@DaveDaves]

Good 303 video, showing how the MC-x0x grooveboxes can be used in a very musical way, like instruments, to perform music like a DJ weaving together bits of pre-recorded music and transitioning between them, building up, breaks, etc. I would suggest using some more reverb, some of the synths would sound glorious w just a touch more of that.

[@kokasharabidze2495]

u made me buy this lovely machine !

[@ezeiansignal]

dämn, really gerald style - love it what you make out of that machine

[@Guitarist888]

1:08 that sounds dope! It reminds me of a theme song to a level from Syphon Filter.

Track 17 would have melted my brain back then. Luv it. Luv and Peace.

Hi is there any way to edit a pattern while performing, or you can only play with pre programmed patterns?

[@taotechnique]

Today, i listened through your set twice. Its great! I used to have a 505, but sold it (i kick myself in the butt all the time for this). I am thinking about getting the 303, because it has the sounds i want, minus having to have the card reader. The cards are going for a hundred bucks + now, for a 5mb. It really seems to me, that I can do what I want with the 303. Honest question for you, how does it perform as a basic master clock\ sequnecer? I am wondering how it perform with my td-3 and rd-6. Back in the day, my 505 would either do great, or not, as a master clock. Hit or miss. But, i still loved it. These machines captured a moment of history for us.

[@GeyloFollen]

Did the same. The extra waves from the 505 didn't interest me too much but the filters from the 505 were way bettter than the filters from the 303. Anyway, I kept the 303 because of the lush tones it has. No LCD means less complications, easy to get were I want with the 303 than with the 505. I love the 303, the only thing to worry about when performing with one 303 is the sequencer memory. I can only fill the 50% of the patterns with simple arrangements until the "memory full" message appears. Apart from that it has a lovely sound and very simple to use.

[@MichaelJones-co3df]

I hate the mc 303 nothing but frustration for me but you really got it down. After seeing this, I'm almost ready to go get another one but I already have too much gear. What don't I know? How do you take this from the mc303 and give it a studio sound? everything is there? You got it all. Do you just record it in a board and give it a studio mix? A few vocal hooks? VST? how do you take it to the next step? As a super producer and yet still keep it simple as a dedicated to the 303.

[@antoniolandriscina9131]

but how do you save the Mute parts to switch from one pattern to another ???

[@GeyloFollen]

Its in the user manual. Page 35 "Storing part settings in a user pattern" = Func & Shift + 15 key

Love this set dude... What drums bank form the 303 do you use mostly ? They sound dope

[@GeyloFollen]

the 808/909 kit sounds very good

[@noodlingaround2023]

I've just seen one of these for sale, 120 British ponds. Is that a good price? Don't know much about this machine, sounds great though. I use a model cycles but this is proper old school.. Is it hard to learn? Thank you

[@GeyloFollen]

You can make full tracks only with this unit. The drums are awesome and the waves included very good. The best thing of the unit is the arpeggiator. you have a lot of tutorials on youtube.

[@noodlingaround2023]

Thanks mate..

[@50NewEyes]

[@iLikeALiker]

Awesome job !I got an mc303 few weeks ago and I’m still learning ,but I’m loving it . Is there a way of muting parts in one track and keep them muted while changing to the next track ,in a way of blending tracks in an smooth way?

[@GeyloFollen]

mute parts are per pattern so you can mix tracks very easy, only remember which tracks are muted.

[@iLikeALiker]

@@GeyloFollen hey thanks ! I.e if I mute all the drum parts from pattern 1 ,then switch to pattern 2 , drum parts of the new pattern will be unmuted right ?or there is a way to “lock” the muted tracks ?

[@GeyloFollen]

@@iLikeALiker Page 35 of the Manual "Storing parts settings in a pattern" with this function you save the global state of the MC303, mute parts included. Its a function you use all the time for creating patterns.

[@stefanocozzolino4392]

hi, at minute 30 i can probably recognise a vocal sample that is not in the 303 bank, have you reached to put your own samples on the rom ? if yes i would be really interested to understand the procedure, thanks.

[@GeyloFollen]

im afraid its not posible to load user waves in the 303 series. Its a human vocal wave pitched down with some use of the envelopes to make it sound "reversed". Try bank number 18 "Hit" there are some human voices there. I cant remember exactly which one was but it has to be over there.

[@drubber007]

Is there anyway of exporting the tracks that you make on this?

[@mrblister8359]

yes with midi or just record the audio

youre dumb nice at composing w this im just starting to learn
