Synth Site |  Roland |  MC-80

I had the chance to look at this system at a party, and it looked very nice next to a JP8000 and some turntables. But to truly get the most out of a unit like this you will need at least one keyboard synth and one rackmount synth.

Some of the other great features of this little box, (btw its about 2/3 the size of a rackmount mixer - would fit in a backpack) include sysex recording. This means you could bring along those electribes and use the mc80 to store additional patterns/songs that wouldnt fit in their memory. Just start normal recording, send the sysex dump from the gear and then play back later (between sets to load the next tracks). Features like this would rock using an internal harddrive.
