The beginning was difficult, I had 2 learn this instrument. But now I switch really fast between te different recording modes (2 simply delete/insert notes, change velocity/gates of notes, etc).

-just 50 memmory's :( -individual drumsounds R great -effects R poor (turn them of, or just use the chorus) -totally it sounds not good (except if the effects are 0% on , all tracks are 20% on normally) -part un/mute buttons -I like tweaking the knobs and record them -arpeggio -My midi-dump doesn't work :(

I wanna sell it but keep it 4 the drumsounds/ instruments, it has cool sounds. I'm now trying to use it as a drumsequencer(also for other gear). But doesn't realy fits in my setup.

Sometimes I sample drumsounds in the SU700 and process them. or I sample complete (dry) loops and change pitch, effects etc. I get great breakbeats with that! But standalone doesn't offer me that much 2 satisfy me.

bought it for $250 that's a good price 4 what I get (drummachine/sequencer/sounds/ live tweaking/editing)

I tried a MC505 for two weeks, it sounds a lot better (effects are reasonable). Controlling the MC505 is great! it has sliders for each track, for every important parameter (pan/vol/effect/etc)... beam controller is nice. Drumkits R good! totally it sounds more professional. 6 outputs. better/more synth-functions. Sounds R really aggresive, very sharp.

U could use the MC505 if ya got a lot of money, composing complete songs with it is realy possible. It's great 4 live situations tweaking and if you like working that way. But with the MC303 U can just make great beats/grooves. Not more then that. Songwriting isn't possible.

It's nice for some things (programming drums) tweaking knobs (cuttof-of freq etc), (un)muting tracks, arpeggio, composing basic shit/idea's etc. as a soundmodule (playing it with your keyboard). sequencer is basic but you can do a lot with it.

If you R not intended 2 learn your gear don't buy it...(btw. don't buy any gear :)

Keep doin' your shit...

It wasn't long before I was sequencing almost exclusively on the 303, my software sequencer relegated to providing the odd sampled loop or twiddly bit.

However, I don't feel as if it has revolutionised my music-making technique all that much.I had a fair idea what it did before i bought it but overall I must say I'm disappointed.But as a source of ideas and the occasional squidgy riff, it's not let me down yet.

I just wish that in sound module mode, it was a little bit more useful.
