The hardest sequencer to learn. Great for beginners because the manual sucks and the OS is the most difficult thing to get the hang of. I you master this box, any other insturment will be a cinch!

This is a classic piece of technomachine. Super sounds, lo-fi and also crisp elektro sounds. Super drums and bass. Excellent stuff from ROLAND!

I find it hard to program but I love the presets. I wouldnt have a better sound if I bought tracks from LA. I bought a foot pedal, but cant get it to work. So live I have a programmer to push the buttons. I have to set it every time. I am so dumb, but I love the beats.

I'm a total novice, so I think I'm the target audience for the MC303. It's crap. It's maddeningly difficult to use, the manual is awful, and even very basic tasks are stupidly difficult. It feels like a machine that was designed by a committee of engineers, who were all blindfolded, and didn't speak the same language. However, if it is your first piece of gear, you can make very simple techno, with no talent whatsoever. And that's exactly why I bought it. As an introduction to the world of electronic music, it got me hooked, but don't expect it to be your One Stop solution to music production.

the naysayers will tell you this machine sounds thin and weak. it does but thats whats great about it. not quite a sidstation but far from today oversampled top dollar groove boxes. it's got a serious lo-fi and electro edge to it. probably not what roland intended but hey. trust your gut. those who say it's unprofessional dont listen to modern music. i've heard the presets on many albums. personally i dont rock this solo but in a large master slave set up. there's always a preset screamin to be tweaked and added. keep the 505 and 909 both haved a flat sampled sound. this is already a classic and will always be so cause nothing sounds this flimsy and cheap. it's not the center of a studio but just a nice addition. plus their dirt cheap!
