Roland MC-500mk2
The Roland MC-500MKII is Roland's top of the line micro composer (MIDI sequencer) with 100,000 note capacity. First produced in 1998, it is highly regarded for its razor sharp timing, and is still in use around the world today. Up to eight MIDI tracks can be recorded simultaneously, while using a built in metronome. The unit houses a 720kb (double density) floppy disk drive, has a MIDI input, MIDI thru, and two MIDI outputs.
In addition to offering this unit for rent, Deep Signal Studios also offers a service to convert MC-300 and MC-500 sequences on floppy disks to standard MIDI files. Contact us for more information. Watch a demo here.
