We got given a free(!) Roland MC-909 from our Holland gig, as a top up gift from the amazingly cool dude Hanke, that puts up parties in north Holland...bless his family 
I'm getting addicted to triggering drums manually from the thing + it has some really good sounding TR-808 (and TR-909) sounds that I can fine tune in real time using the knobs, without looking at the screen, which is brilliant!
recording in through SPDIF, anytips and tricks anyone has? Will install the OSX drivers particularly for throwing samples of the computer to trigger/process in the MC-909
cause for some stupid reason I'm loving using it for building drum patterns, even tho it takes longer than Logic's midi editor...I just come up with different things than I usually do.
Peace out.

Used to have the mc 303  but didnt really like that one. But 909 is alot more diverse. The BEAM should also be nice to use for controlling some parameters!
Glad you liked the party!

atma used the mc-505 a lot I think a few years ago, and I love that guy's music. I like using hardware, even when it takes a bit more effort, because it seems more stable. Plus I'm trying to cut down on screen time in my life.
I don't know much about using spdif to transfer sounds but that's pretty cool. Well,
keep up the hardware patterns I'd like to hear some |
