Powered by Frooition Pro Roland MC-909 Sampling Groovebox Item Description Roland MC-909 Sampling Groovebox in very good+ condition. Includes manual on CD and power cable. No software is included. The MC-909 is Roland’s answer to the demands of serious producers who want a workstation that seamlessly integrates audio and MIDI. Based on an new generation XV synthesis engine expandable up to 272MB of sampling RAM (16MB standard), the MC-909 has evolved beyond the original concept of a Groovebox. This professional workstation also boasts 800 new Patches, 64 Rhythm Sets and 693 all-new waveforms with SRX expansion. And with professional sequencing, onboard effects, mastering tools and an ultra-intuitive interface—plus a USB port for exchanging samples and sequences with a PC—the MC-909 is all you need to take your music from conception to completion.Key Features: Professional 64-voice workstation with new-generation XV synthesis, sampling, 16-track sequencer, effects and oversized graphic LCD 16MB sample memory expandable up to 272MB using optional DIMMS, and SmartMedia™ storage for sample data Hundreds of new high-quality patterns, sounds and rhythm sets; expandable via SRX-Series wave expansion board Studio-quality effects including 24-bit reverb, 2 multi-effects processors, compression/EQ and mastering effects Built-in USB port for sample/Standard MIDI File transfer and User data backup S/PDIF digital I/O, six analog outputs and stereo analog inputs Dual D Beams, Turntable Emulation and velocity-sensitive pads-—plus front-panel knobs, buttons and sliders to modify sounds and patterns New V-LINK function for integrating audio and video in performanceThe Fusion of Audio and MIDI
The MC-909 is more than a Groovebox with sampling. In fact, it’s really an integrated music production system. Now audio and MIDI can be integrated, synthesized and sequenced together within a single, easy-to-use environment. Sample some phrases and sequence them alongside MIDI tracks as the MC-909 synchronizes your loops automatically. Samples can even be used as raw waveforms in the synthesizer section, opening up a world of sonic possibilities. Straightforward programming
One look at the front panel and it’s clear the MC-909 is a serious machine. On the inside is a powerful 4-Tone synthesis engine with stereo waveforms per Tone and 64-voice polyphony. Yet the MC-909 is still as easy to program as an analog synth—thanks to a generous supply of knobs, buttons and sliders. A Sampling Powerhouse Flexible sampling with .WAV import
The MC-909 comes with 16MB of sample memory, expandable up to 272MB using optional DIMMs. Audio can be recorded via the stereo analog inputs or digitally using the S/PDIF input. You can even import .WAV/AIFF files from a computer via USB—making it possible to tap into the many free samples on the Internet. And when your track is complete, simply resample the output and export it back to a PC for CD burning or distribution on the World Wide Web. Chop, Stretch and Loop
Once recorded, a sample can be processed in a variety of ways. Using Wave Edit, a waveform can be truncated and looped while viewing it graphically on the LCD. The Timestretch function, on the other hand, makes it possible to change a loop’s tempo without affecting pitch. Or, if you prefer to create your own loops, simply “slice” up a loop with Chop. And just like Roland’s professional samplers of years past, you can trigger samples chromatically from the velocity-sensitive pads or via an external MIDI keyboard. Pro Sequencing with All-New Patterns Rock-solid timing and more
The MC-909’s sequencer has been improved in many ways. First, the resolution is now 480 TPQN for rock-solid timing. Patterns can also be up to 998 measures—great for those who prefer linear programming—and the pads are now velocity-sensitive! A new version of Roland’s popular TR recording method (similar to “Piano Roll” editing) makes it possible to view several notes at once using the pads and LCD. Best of all, the MC-909’s sequencer is fully compatible with Standard MIDI Files, allowing you to import and export SMF sequences via the built-in USB port. Club-ready presets in the latest styles
Like all Grooveboxes, the MC-909 ships with hundreds of fresh new patterns—programmed by professional producers—that fully exploit the new sounds. These hard-hitting grooves are guaranteed to rock the dance floor and include popular styles like UK hard-hous
