If you're a fan of #Roland, #AnalogueSynthesizers, #Sequencers or just bloops and blarps, you might enjoy this vid of me messing with my ancient and somewhat creaky #MC202 #Microcomposer

Talking about electro and whatnot sooo...

Here's a tune I did in 1994. It's a live jam, straight to DAT via my Tascam 688.

Enjoy!

On a bit of a roll tonight, clearing the backlog. This MC-202 came in for a Tubbutec MC-2oh2 upgrade. This requires a little bit of SMT rework, but it absolutely transforms the simple MC-202 into a top-notch groovebox! 😊

So - new processor, new keyboard, new OLED display module fitted, plus a handful of simple mods to the existing board. Done and looking and sounding glorious!

And as you can see we already installed quite a few, more coming.

Testing setup for the MC-2oh2 keyboard/display panels.
All buttons need to be pressed once to make sure they are working properly .
The final boards (coming soon will have gold plated contacts)

Happy holidays!

While we are waiting for the assembly of our boards, some more parts have arrived.
(1) Hundreds of Displays
(2) Display brackets for mounting and aligning them correctly
(3) Example of display, Arpeggiator
(4) Arp in euclidean mode

Eta: some time in '23. We need to complete the kits, write manuals, beta test, and fix bug and fix bugs and fix bugs

We already have enough beta testers.
