Roland Mc-101 Aira Dj Groovebox - Pocket Production Studio, A Portable, Compact Four-Track Version

Product Information

Knob Layout: While the Circuit’s sequencer and all-around workflow can be fantastic for beatmaking, the macro-based knob layout can be a challenge for live situations. Needing to jump between the performance and mixer views was a particularly common hiccup I encountered, which could cause live acts to prefer other devices with more single-purpose controls. Buy the Roland MC-101 Groovebox from PMT Online and open up a world of creative potential with this awesome beat making machine. Roland MC-101 Groovebox Specs: This can vary depending on the specifications of the batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use. Accessories Owner's manual

Scatter appears in various forms on the Aira products. It's primarily designed to add beat-repeat–type effects, fills and glitches to your master bus, although this really only scratches the surface. On the 101/707, Scatter can combine step-looping, pitch-shifting, reversing and any of the huge suite of insert effects provided on the unit. In Scatter mode, the pads store 16 different effect combinations which you can trigger momentarily.For more information, please visit: https://www.roland.com/global/products/mc-101/ Watch video.

Roland MC-101 - How to use as a Sound Module within DAW One last con of the Syntakt is Overbridge. It could be a problem with my setup (MacBook Air 2021 and Reason 10) but things slow down considerably when recording into the DAW, to the point where twisting a knob can have up to a 0.5 second lag, which ruins the vibe entirely. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to capture the knob movements as automation lanes in the DAW, and when I tried to do it manually, things slowed down even more. The MC-101 has no problems sending all midi information to the DAW and then letting itself be sequenced from the DAW from thereon out, making it really simple to fine-tune things. With the Syntakt, I feel like I’m better off just making all those tweaks directly in the patterns on the Syntakt instead and not mess with trying to control things from the DAW. USB generic driver mode lets you connect your MC GROOVEBOX directly to a smartphone or tablet, great for producing with Zenbeats app (available on IOS, Android, Windows, and Mac) or your favourite DAW.

Roland MC-101: Motion Designer Vor einigen Tagen ist meine Entscheidung auf die Roland MC101 Groovebox gefallen. Hier habe ich ca. 3000 Instrumente und ca. 80 Drumsets wählbar, die ich noch weiter sehr individuell anpassen kann. Das Ding ist echt klein und wiegt nix. Die Verarbeitung und Haptik der Knöpfe ist sehr hochwertig. as Roland’s own tutorials for the above features and many others. Expanding the MC-101’s Sonic Palette Ich bin 49 und habe erst vor ca. 8 Monaten mit einem EPiano musizieren angefangen und wollte nun mehr. Um meine Möglichkeiten hinsichtlich Instrumente und Aufnahmen zu erweitern habe ich lange nach einem passenden Gerät gesucht, war mir aber sehr unsicher. Der Markt ist groß. Sounddesign interessiert mich dabei weniger. The things that I don't like so much: there is lots of menu diving but at least what you can configure a lot right from the encoders without menu diving with preselect options that make sense musically. If you go deep into sound design there are too many options (and also too many presents) and not the best experience from a sound design perspective.The power and flexibility of the ZEN-Core Synthesis System delivers an incredible array of sounds, from analog modelling synths to crystal-clear pianos.

Roland MC-101: Changing Clip Length Available format of Looper Sample: WAV 44.1 kHz/16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit, 32-bit float (mono, stereo) One more thing... Like the Aira MX‑1 performance mixer, the new MCs can tie particular Scatter effects to individual steps within a measure. These are triggered simply by holding the main Scatter mode button. This can be used to create a bonkers effect sequence or buildup. I used it to tie a simple repeater to the last four steps, so I could drop in a fill without switching to Scatter mode. Performance

Nevertheless, I have been still searching for a truly portable option. Well this device is just perfect for this and in many ways its beats the two time more expensive Elektron Syntakt while overall leaving too much to be desired from Elektron's workflow. No comparison with Volcas in terms of workflow, even though Volcas sound is unique. The GROOVEBOX series continues to evolve, and one of the latest tools for advanced performance is Scene Chain. Learn to maximize the feature. Read more… MC-101 Video Manual Step-By-Step Instructions Maybe other would disagree. But I did not understand the purpose of this box, it’s not making a music making easier or distracts from the PC. Any Volca gives much more pleasure and actual results. The 707 version is looking more than an instrument to invest into. For more information, please visit: https://www.roland.com/global/products/mc-101/ Watch video.

A powerful new arpeggiator livens up your productions with tasty melodic lines and real-time control over motif, rhythmic variation, octave, and hold on/off. Unsurprisingly there's a ton of classic Roland sounds, both as virtual analogue recreations and sample-based patches. There's a particularly strong showing for the various flavours of Jupiters and Junos, MKSes and JXs. In fact the VA oscillator has a Juno mode, as does the filter. The Juno chorus is also recreated in the effects section, along with some other classic Boss and Roland effects like the CE‑1. Over the last few decades, as old and new electronic instruments makers alike returned to analogue technology, Roland hardly blinked. Firmly committed to exploring the frontiers of digital technology, Roland CEO Jun-ichi Miki, who also happens to be an engineer, best encapsulated the company’s vision in a 2019 interview on the occasion of the JUPITER-X and JUPITER-Xm release. The MC‑101 and MC‑707 have an almost ridiculously powerful digital synth engine at their heart: Roland's ZEN-Core. Each instance of the synth has four layers ('Partials'), all with their own Oscillator, Filter, VCA, LFOs and Envelopes. Oscillator modes include a classic virtual analogue with many shapes, all of which can be pulse-width modulated. There's also a super saw and a noise mode. Then there's a PCM mode, greatly increasing versatility by allowing sample-and-synthesis sound design. But there's more: Oscillator cross modulation is available between partials 1-2 and 3-4, with X‑Mod, Ring and Sync modes!
