How to program a Roland MC-202



This time I'm showing you how to program a Roland MC-202. The tutorial only covers the most basic features but should be enough to get anyone struggling to a good start. In the future I'll do a follow up video showing some of the more advanced features.

Suggestions?

If there's something you think I missed or if there's something you want to know more about then leave a comment to this post. I'll do my best to cover what you ask in future posts.

So far from the comments of previous postings I plan to do these videos in the future (not in any particular order)

Advanced track programming on the TB-303
Advanced track programming on the TR-606
Tap mode on the MC-202
Information on my hackintosh
Information on my modular
Follow up to the x0xb0x vs TB-303

So if you want to suggest soemthing else then this is the place to leave your suggestions ;-)
