Of course the MC303 is limited!!! Just like all things. However, the ceiling changes with each musician. So SHUT UP!!!

the main problem with this unit is i.m.h.o., that it is simply a bit too expensive, if you compare it to what the rm1x offers at only about 200 bucks plus. the rm1x does EVERYTHING better than the 303, except for the arpeggiator (which is extremely powerful and much underrated on the 303!!!) and the rps (i have yet to find out a reasonable use for this, but it's fun to fool around with anyway...)
bottom line: if you want a good sequencer with some useable sounds, buy a rm1x. if you need a good arpeggiator with built-in drummachine and some useable sounds, buy a used mc303. and if you just want to impress your buddies, buy some other really expensive gear ;-)
and a final wish: PLEASE stop complaining about how "limited" this box is!! this is really incredibly boring and just shows your inability to use your gear properly. i guess you would also bash a fender precision, because it only has a single pickup. kinda limited, huh? shut up, please! JUST. SHUT. UP. thank you.

Wrong, wrong WRONG!!! Micro Please Please stop misinforming people. The average price of an MC-303 selling on Ebay out of the last 20 that sold was $346!!!! What are you talking about?? If you could buy them for $150, youd be nuts not to and turn around and sell them on Ebay. Anyway, MR DJ---enough is enough. You have gone too far. We, the readers are sick of you!!!!!! The MC-303 is a part of techno history. You cannot change that with your negative attitude--sorry.

just a p.s. about the 303's resale value: it's just like a car; as soon as you take it off the lot, it's value drops. also consider the fact that there are toooo many 303's being sold practically everywhere. so as far as microeconomics is concerened: a surplus of goods means a drop in it's fair market value. now if you get it for $150, then it's a deal.

okay, i'm sick of morons that think i can't figure out the mc303. obviously i figured it out and in doing so i came across the revelation that it SUCKS for what i was trying to do with it. for the record i did not contradict myself: sounds and preset patterns are two entirely different things. do you know what a tone generator is? it does sound, not preset patterns!!! if anyone disagrees with me, then tell us why and stop getting immature about it by calling people names. the 303 will go down in history as a learning experience, not as a classic. it just so happens that me and one of my dj friends bought the 303 at the same time and we collaborated many times in trying to incorporate it into live mixing. didn't work to well without midi sync. $300 bucks for the 303 is too much. let's see, i bought a pioneer cdj100s for $300 bucks and it's already increased what i spin, how i spin it, and different dj techniques 100 times over. now that's value, not some box that you would need to invest more in other equipment to maximize it's potential.
nubey, thanks for the heads up on the dj2000. your insight has given me some food for thought about my next mixer purchase. you obviously have a cool head unlike some others that use this site.
to all you believers and non-believers in the mc303, all that metters is that you keep rocking the house. i need not resort to lowering myself and attacking people because they disagree with me.
