mc-101 initial impressions

Post by Andrie »

amazing machine, very addcitive: unlimited options for sculpting sound (tons o very good presets, channel mfx, channel eq,. master fx, master compressor, scatter fully editable)..

But :

- NO metronome (wtf??)
-no midi note or cc out when sequencer is not running
- if ur trck sequence is 128 steps, the2nd part is unclear ( there are 4 measure buttons and they just repeat,
an extra led show the 2nd 4 times would be handy
- scatter not recordable as motion data


sound wise:
- no tone filter envelope
- lfo is still called vibrato in roland world (very retro right ;) )and is only assigned to pitch
- no tone specific paramters editable
- cannot save edited presets (drum or tone) seperate

:>>suggestions
that headphone out could be output 3/4
16 scenes in stead of 8
preset save for tone and drum

+ adding Velocity sensitive shouldnt be to difficult

really hope there will be an editor, to deep deep dive
