Roland MC-909 Tutorial

Learning how to use your new Roland MC-909 has never been easier thanks to the official Roland DVD Owner's Manual!

The MC-909 is Roland’s answer to the demands of serious producers who want a workstation that seamlessly integrates audio and MIDI. Based on an new generation XV synthesis engine expandable up to 272MB of sampling RAM (16MB standard), the MC-909 has evolved beyond the original concept of a Groovebox. This professional workstation also boasts 800 new Patches, 64 Rhythm Sets and 693 all-new waveforms with SRX expansion. And with professional sequencing, onboard effects, mastering tools and an ultra-intuitive interface—plus a USB port for exchanging samples and sequences with a PC—the MC-909 is all you need to take your music from conception to completion.
