Spend that money on a good sample CD instead.. you won't regret it, but the 909 you may regret.

Your thinkin of the 909 in cubase which is a drum machine. the roland mc-909 is a 13-pound sequencer/synth/sampler/rhythm machine.

Er no.....

roland TR-909

THE drum machine. I very much doubt he was referring to cubase

If you had said MC (mcdonalds edition)- 909 then it would have been clearer. Granted, its partly the fault of roland for reusing some of the numbers.

Hey. Whats wrong with the MC-909 . Looks like a pretty snazy piece of hardware. Was only released in 2002, includes 2 D-Beams and from I've heard, sounds pretty good.

Cheers,
Zac

^^^ You cannot seriously consider any roland device that has d-beams as "professional grade". Puh-lease. MC 909 is for wanna-be hiphop artists or people short on skills and imagination. Sorry, that machine is crap box, hardly worth $200 - not mentioning the asking price of $1200 or more.

Take the money and spend it on something more useful. For that kind of cash you can buy a decent PC, midi controller with pads (such as Korg Kontrol) and even get bunch of software for free with it. The only reason to spend that kind of cash on hw synth nowdays is to get some quality gear. Roland hasn't made much quality gear in the last 5 or so years. The only exception is Fantom XR.... just my humble opinion.

Hey. I personally think the D-Beam is an awesome interface to work with. I actually made myself one because it seemed like such an awesome device to work with. You can pretty much control anything with it you want and depending on how close to the sensor you are, the value will change. Its awesome for doing stuff with a granulizer and other effects to give you an edge. It is pricey, I will admit, but then at the same time, look at the 20 year old TR series selling for around $1K. Its no better than using a sampler/rompler drum machine and yet its still very popular with EDM musicians. I wouldnt buy it, I'm just saying that it isnt a shitty piece of gear, just overpriced.

Cheers,
Zac

the original 909 pretty much created dance music


the mc 909 was designed for stupid ravers trying to produce.
The mc 909 sounds like shit.

Id stand strongly for the motto that its not important what the initial sound is, but only what you can make of it. A simple tom sound can be a ton of different effects just by how to fuck with it. Dont be limited by thinking the output of the synth is the end of the road man...
