  • Опубликовано: 1 дек 2024
  • The Roland MC-101 GROOVEBOX combines premium-quality synthesizer and drum sounds, samples, patterns and effects in a compact four-track sequencer that’s go-everywhere portable. Create whenever, and wherever, inspiration strikes with this pocket production studio and add performance-ready tracks to your DAWless or compact synthesizer setup.
    In this video, Peter Brown gives you an overview of the beatmaking possibilities of the Roland MC-101. This overview looks at some of the sounds and performance techniques to get you making music anywhere.
    About the MC-101...
    The Roland MC-101 has a four-track sequencer optimized for beatmakers, producers and mobile music makers creating today's electronic and dance-oriented music. You can use the 16 ultra-sensitive RGB pads to create drum, bass, and synthesizer patterns and create your own original music. It's your musical playground, where you can freely combine loops and one-shots with melodic phrases including your own imported audio recordings and MIDI sequences. Compose and trigger clips, rearrange, re-sample, record your knob movements, and more.
    On top of that, add the Roland sounds that have defined electronic and dance genres for over forty years. Legendary instruments like the TR-808, TR-909, JUNO-106 and SH-101 are all here, ready to replicate classic sounds or be combined, tweaked, and processed into entirely new sounds.
    With the MC-101's massive effects palette, your music sounds polished and fully-produced. Each track has independent effects processors with a huge number of variations. The lush chorus brings depth to pads and other synth sounds. Delays and reverbs create evocative spaces and add movement to delicate sequences. Overdrive, distortion, and amp simulation add grit and intensity to synths, guitars, drums and more. You can also run your entire mix through master effects like filters, bit-crushers and a master bus compressor that glues it all together with punch and clarity.

    I bought it! I'm nearly 65 years old, it's the 1st Groovebox I've ever owned, and I've had it a week. I have some comments for viewers and for ROLAND...First- THE SOUNDS! They are simply stellar, and are the main reason I bought it. And there are over 3000 of them with almost NO duds! The build quality is excellent, it seems durable. Its size is just perfect, and being battery (or USB) powered, it is very portable. Love that it came with an SD Card. I knew in advance it's not as powerful as the MC707. The buttons, knobs and faders feel solid. (Pads are not velocity sensitive.) OK Roland....A few suggestions for a future update based on my week of ownership...(and please correct me if any of these are erroneous or don't make sense.): 1- Add a SONG MODE...to string the Scenes together. Please! 2- Make the Project Title be displayed after edits are made. 3- Add a Count-In or metronome. Please! 4- Add an Undo feature. 5- Add a "Favorites" marker for Sounds. There are just too many to have to hunt. 6- Improve the Measure/Beat display. After 2 measures go by, I'm lost. Make it cover all 128 Steps. 7- Increase the Note Length range greater than 4.99 in the Step Edit function...with the rotary knob. 8- Add an Append/Duplicate function for Phrases and/or Clips. 9- Improve the C1-C4 function so that the value doesn't "jump" from current position to knob position. It makes it hard to make smooth (filter) adjustments in performance. 10- Add a "Return To Safe/Default State" function to the C1-C4 knobs. After an edit, it's hard to remember what the Default setting was. (If nothing else, at least note the Default Values for parameters in the User Manual.) 11- Add a Clip Button "latch" option for selecting Scenes. In a live performance, this is a 2-handed operation (bad for guitarist). 12- Add a Shift Button "latch" option. Nearly every edit requires a Shift press. 13- Add an overall Output Volume feature to the Drum Track (in addition to the Fader)...similar to the Tone (Sound) editing feature. Overall....Thumbs Up, a great addition to a rig, albeit a tad pricey. I'm loving mine.

      I chose the MC 707 for the better workflow but for portability (battery powered and small form factor) this one is a good alternative to the Novation Circuit (which I also own). But what I like most of Roland products is their sound. Huge collection of ready to use for non sound designers like me.

    • @circkus
      @circkus 4 года назад +6

      "9- Improve the C1-C4 function so that the value doesn't "jump" from current position to knob position." On page 40 of the Reference manual, it shows that if you press SHIFT+FILTER to go to the UTILITY menu, and select SYSTEM, there is a Knob Mode setting that can be changed to "CATCH", which means nothing changes until the knob has passed through the current setting. So if your note length is at 3, and your C4 knob is turned all the way to the left, it doesn't instantly make your note length 1.
      I'm still looking for a way to make note length grater than 4.99 without playing it in...

    I got this instead of Digitakt and MPC because the mc-101 is more portable. I got this instead of Model:Samples/Cycles because why have two devices when you can have one like the mc-101. I got this instead of circuit because the mc-101 sounded better to my ears. I got this in addition to my op-1 because the op-1 sounds a bit thin to me and the tape-mode was a chore to make a song on so I was attracted to mc-101's sound engine and clips/scenes. I also have an SP-404SX but my fingers were getting tired and it was hard to bring in sounds into it. So yeah, I got the MC-101! It's amazing. It's the golden age of music making now that big companies like Roland are stepping into the portable dawless revolution.

      At 500, most people would just save a little more and end up with a Digitakt I think. I get this is geared more towards live play, but people have figured it out with the Digi. I also feel the 707 is still going to get passed up by the Digi. That needs to come down to around $700. This looks like it should be competing with the Circuit around $300 instead.

      Yeah, I generally hate to be in the "this costs too much for what it is!" bandwagon, but honestly, can't really help it with this one, but to feel the same. With something like 300e, I'd be seriously thinking about getting one. But with 509 euros, with only 4 tracks, that's quite a lot to pay. Especially when you think about what other gear there are in the same-ish price range: Elektron Digitakt is about 635e, Digitone is 645e, Model:Samples is 439e, the new Electribes are around 400e, Blackbox is about 579e and so on.

    the M101 is so buggy...for example, if you want take a sound you've create, you have to take it on a clip on another project...but with 1.02 you can't hear any preview of the sound... (we could do it on 1.01...) Another bug : if you load a sound frome another projet with the sound button, you loose all the change you made with the edit parameters... (you do not loose anything if you load all the clip...)

This synth is firmly placed in the novelty "chuck in your bag" arena of synths.

    Seems like a moderately more flexible take on the novation circuit, for 60% more money. I I'm definitely curious to learn more, like polyphony per instrument or channel, or how much flexibility in sound design on whatever built in synth engines? For the price though I feel like you get more bang for buck out of the OPZ or if you can save up a bit longer, the Deluge. Or just save a couple hundred and get the circuit.

    I also have midi merge midi solutions if needed.
    Currently,

    Midi Merge A in 2> MC 101
    So I can sequence the Microfreaks and the MC 101 with the Digitakt
    Microfreaks Out> Midi Merge B In> MC 101
    To play the sounds of the MC 101 via the Microfreaks keyboard
