| From the company that made groovebox a household name comes a remarkable addition to the famous Roland groovebox family: the MC808. Optimized for realtime performance, the sleek, silver powerstation features eight motorized faders on its surface a groovebox first! With Roland’s most sophisticated processor at its core, the MC808 possesses top of the line sampling, sequencing, and synthesizer features yet it comes in at a new, low price point. Flagship Features The MC808 shares two key attributes with its elder sibling, the flagship MC909: The same topoftheline sampling and sequencing features that made the MC909 so famous are built into the MC808, making it a serious tool for sampling, editing, track building, and mixing. Performers are in for an extra treat with the MC808, however, as it has a remarkable feature that no other groovebox has. Motorized Faders Motorized faders on an affordable groovebox?! You’re not dreaming. The MC808 is the world’s first groovebox with this feature! Sure, the motorized faders look cool, but they also provide serious power for live performers. No matter what pattern you call up, the faders will snap to the proper position. As a result, the parameter values and position of the faders always correspond, allowing you to see the values instantly and make changes directly. No more unexpected jumps in values when you grab a fader in midperformance. It’s always in the right position. Plus, from the fader movements you can see automations such as filter, pan, and part levels changes. If you want to cancel and control the faders manually, simply move the touchsensitive faders. New Sounds & Patterns The MC808’s internal sounds and patterns have been created fresh by top international artists. These slammin’ new dance and hiphop grooves are instantly ready for primetime, but playing and manipulating the internal patterns is only half the fun. The MC808 allows any sounds to be sampled, edited, and added to the song WAV and AIF files can also be imported from computer via USB. A few must have sounds from the MC909 are also included. Editing Software The MC808 ships with a free Mac/PC (Mac OS X, Win XP/2000) editor for serious sample and patch editing and part mixing tasks on the luxury of a large computer monitor, and for shuttling the files effortlessly back and forth via USB.
