Description

The MC-300 (from year 1988) is the same as the original MC-500 sequencer in a cheaper case but is still totally compatible with the MC-500 and mkII sequencers. There's 4-track recording in real or step time and 16 midi channel multitimbrality, a dedicated rhythm track, a built-in 3.5" disk drive with 100,000 note capacity and an LCD screen. Newer operating system version can be loaded via the disk drive. Editing is intense and precise. The sequencer has 30,000 note capacity, track merging, microscopic editing, quantization and it's relatively simple to use.

Quirky old sequencer, that gets the job done.

Like this alot, good for a small set-up and not to complicated to use. It's a little slow as loading from the floppy disc ofcourse, but that's part of the experience!
