Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland MC-505 Groovebox. Is this late 90s all-in-one dance music solution, successor to the Roland MC-303, the last real MC or is it yet another rave music cheese machine? Can it hold up with successors like the Roland MC-707 ???
Thanks to legendary Austrian composer and electronic musician B.Fleischmann for one of the Roland MC505 he was using during the early days of his career:

@leftovernoise 6 месяцев назад

@@MoraFermi even the Squarp Hapax has less you can do with it than its predecessor. I don't get it

@muchlovefromfinland 6 месяцев назад

@@MoraFermi It's actually because the attention span of people buying gear has greatly diminished over the years. Nowadays people are looping the same 16 steps for eternity, when back in the day people at least had the decency to stretch those 16 steps to 32 bars. I'm mostly joking, but it does seem like people aren't really learning their instruments anymore and as such instant-gratification becomes more sellable (onto which you can then bake on some proper features).

That last line is the coup de grace - the 505's DNA is ALL OVER the MC 707. The 4 partials architecture, the JV1080 sound palette, the unerasable presets that are not destined to age well. The only thing that is missing is the D-Beam (which honestly would have been awesome).

Still have my original 505 I purchased in 1999. I've put out numerous albums, ep's and singles over the years using only the 505 and some waves gold post production. As mentioned, if you take the time to learn it, it pays off, I've done everything from acid jazz to doom metal on this thing. Thankfully I had the forsight to buy 10 of the 5 volt smart media cards before they stopped production and became collector items. I've been playing underground parties in Detroit several times a year for 2 decades and the the 505 is always a crowd pleaser, usually as the sun is rising. Liked and subscribed.

@mokujinsan9946 6 месяцев назад

@@jimbotron70 some time ago there was a mention about somebody creating an alternative storage method but I never really followed its progression. Roland used a different voltage card to the other manufacturers so that made matters even more fluffed up. Typical Roland. With the memory card the machine is a lot more stable for some reason.. They are like rocking horse shit to find. I guess that demand for such a specialised hack for the MC 505 is quite low compared to a vintage SP, MPC etc. Its a shame because it is a good instrument for live set. The remix function is really good to take your jams to another level.

@tbornottb303 6 месяцев назад

The trade off in many of these all-in-one, late 90s grooveboxes (and many current ones) is the anemic sound. Routing all your parts to other fuller synths solves that, but then you have to deal with more equipment. Regardless, it all sounds better right out of a component than a mixdown to me. I love the grooveboxes, so this was an exceptionally good show for me! One day I aspire to get a Syntakt or an MPC One.

This was an uneventful purchase for me a while back. I did sell it. Very interesting all the layers of the JV sounds however by the time I figured out how to program it because it's really deep but you are left scratching your head. I didn't think it sounded too good because of the way the sound engine was tuned. I wish they would put a modern MC 707 into the chassis of the metal boxes with multi outputs. Remember the MC 505 came out after a bunch of plastic drum machines and groove boxes have been on the market for a decade. Point in case: any manufacturer can move from cheap plastic to something a little more substantial and metal with a better looking layout at any time in the lifecycle of making products. Once you go full plastic, you don't have to stay there. Can we stop going full plastic!

Another banger! The MC-505 definitely has some appeal despite its limitations. And that finale jam title, haha

Snagging B Fleischmann's MC-505 is a true score! Loved the jam you did with the Waldorf rocket as a side synth.

I bought mine in early 1999 and gigged it extensively in the 2000s. So much fun to use

I bought one on ebay about 10 years ago and it seemed like it'd been through some wars. The lower right side looked like it had been in a fight with an angle grinder, including some of the "keys". After a few emails, it tuns out Roland were (and probably are) still selling the parts :)

I had one in 1999 and i never saw it crash once, mostly used it to sequence other synths. By 2001 i had moved over to using a computer for sequencing and dsp, could still throw midi into the mc505 though via computer and that was great fun too.

@jimmywhyte7181 6 месяцев назад

Now i remember it did crash but only when i overloaded it with several drum patterns being fed into one midi channel via a pc. Things i remember most about the machine was that the drums could use the resonance filter and had a fully functioning ADSR filter not hidden away in a menu (and pitch knob), meaning you could play with drum patterns quite well compared to other machines of the time.

Yeah, it's mostly stable but I have a very special talent for that;)
