MC202 does Squarepusher

[sean2me]

Awesome! I love this! I have an MC909 and 303, with manuals. Haven't really figured out how to use them yet. Just wanted to tinker with them. I would love to learn to play them properly!

[fakeharmonic]

great work man! I enjoyed this, it seemed so abstract the way you were building all the notes together, but then it all kicked off in my face and i chundered. NICEONE.

[thegreatredshark]

AMAZING. BRAVO!!!

[0theyield0]

for such a old goofy machine they sure do sound spectacular

[Polaf3456]

I need to get myself some controllers :< Stuck with shitty low end computer noises

[petemk1966]

sounds majestic as soon as you hit the button= nice

[joyoussound]

Sounds absolutely beautiful.

[gali32731]

You have no idea how badly I wish to use one of these things.

[nadastarr]

im now considering getting a roland, thanks that was great

[LFO3001]

Your handclap was great:)

[nowthatsatattoo]

Beautiful

[UltraWill]

Great programing :) My 202 has been in the shop for years now, dude's trying to find a pot for the decay slider :\

[kiddaphexxx]

starts at 1:12

[vegunited06]

is the 202 pre midi? was thinking of getting one, but not that interested if you can't sync it to a midi clock from an Atari st

[daftblac]

wow! you are a superstar now! like U2!!

[dominian42]

Interesting machine. Kinda looks like the illegitimate child of a 101 and a 303.

[Flipjunkie1]

Thats a cute little machine !

[ack303]

that was fun :)

[HelloNewYorkCity]

i have never seen an mc202 before, but jeez its SMALL!

[WillOsef]

I wish I had a clue of what you're doing...anyway it's awesome,I'm getting one of these,it must take quite some time to learn how to use it.

[happyendy]

cool!!



[AEpooptube]

what preset is that on the midiverb?

[LimpBizkitFan4Lyf]

wrong notes

[twintron]

Another great video.. I'm just off to see if I can find one of these on ebay. love it!

[twintron]

Wow thats really nice. must get one.

[chillskid]

Sounds very different but still cool. 

[ldtronics]

i laughed when i you pressed play and i figured out which line you were programing!

[LonDonsen]

Get MC-202 Hack. The faster way to programme a 202

[lordolof]

Tell me more about this please, just bought a mc-202 :)

[LonDonsen]

Google for MC202 Hack! It's a java-tool to transform a MIDI-file into a MC202 sequence. It's cheap and works well.

[lordolof]

awsome! thanks

[intavent]

lovely reverb

[noianiz]

ahhh do you mind just keeping it going please!! ;)

[tr80808]

that was sick man... killer verb.

[Weirdsville13]

pure fantastic sound, good work dude !!

[freestylelegalized]

what kind of reverb dit you use? boss?

[HeresJamesPrice]

Alesis Midiverb 1

[esm41]

wow the midiverb adds a lot! sounds lush!

[midinerd]

Pretttttty good check my videos for some borgnine fun 2 ;)

[15000000th]

Fucking awesome man.

Made me shiver because Squarepusher is probably my favourite artist with Aphex Twin, and this is pretty good. BTW your video and the Black College Football game is HILARIOUS.

[johnisfaster]

squarepusher most likely played this on an sh-101 as it's one of his main synths

[thedefog]

Most likely, but they are identical on the inside.

[johnisfaster]

but the 101 has a noise source and more modulation shapes, of course this sound doesn't make use of those but I'm just sayin it was probably a 101

[thedefog]

Good point. I forgot it had a noise generator on it. It's a shame they're marked up so high due to the similarity to the TB-303s, otherwise I'd grab one.

[johnisfaster]

you can get them sometimes for $550 which I think is pretty decent considering 303's sell for $1500 sometimes. the 202 sounds great too and is really quirky so it brings a lot to the table, not expensive for what it offers I think.

[thedefog]

I think $550 is a bit pricey for what they are still though. But that is still cheaper and easier than building a X0XB0X

[johnisfaster]

but the 2 sound sooooooo different. I've got them side by side and they are night and day. the 202 is much more dynamic, if I had to choose one or the other I'd definitely go 202

[guiseppelives]

the original was done on a 101, it's what he did all those bits on around that time, love both though :)

can't beat the old roland stuff eh :)

[kurtisblow3000]

you are cool.

[Dsil303]

You're not there yet, but its a good start.

Keep it up and you will nail 'm!

[HeresJamesPrice]

I'd like to know what you mean by "there." Being good at covering techno licks? Covering this one in particular? Why would I "keep it up"? There is no reason to keep practicing copying other peoples sequences, so I have no idea what you mean here.

[Dsil303]

What I meant was: Its almost the right melody, but you've got some notes wrong. If you listen to the track a couple of times you'll nail the whole melody.

It was meant as a positive reaction, but somehow it seems like you see it as "not so positive".

And yes, there is a reason to try copying your favorite music, because it gives you more insight in how tracks are made and why those tunes are good. Most good musicians start of covering known music and grow up to become a good musician themselves.

[Underthecokesign]

@HeresJamesPrice haha, yeah, just keep it up so you can "nail 'm!"...if that's what you want to do... i guess... It sounds beautifully euphoric to me. I don't think you need to "nail" anyone.

[petersedin]

@HeresJamesPrice

hahaha.. what i think i ment was "i have no clue on how you make that machine sing like that, but if i tell you that i will feel little inside, so i say it´s only ok.."

your programming rock.. you know there is a programming application for it right? mc202 hack

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

@HeresJamesPrice too right, you caught the spirit of the tune perfectly, obviously with a few tweaks you could get it pretty much identical, but that would be a step too nerdy.

Beautiful sound.

[weatherkop]

@HeresJamesPrice In a related note, We are at the age where techno covers should be done. I would pay for that since I live in the US and no one tours over here worth a shit anymore. In fact Squarepusher cancelled a show that I was attending in Orlando, it was very saddening to not see him.

[frostedminipete]

Beautiful - spot on, too. I love Squarepusher.

[thevideoresponsedude]

very nice melody. i think the mc-202 and sh-101 are two very special instruments.

[thedefog]

Yup. Can't beat the Roland VCF. It's a classic.

[justwaving]

Excellent!

[pjmac88]

gay vid. its called FL studio bro.
