Element 4 Roland MC-505 "Tech House" Live Session (16:9)

[ccricers]

I love this box. It sounds VERY 90's, more than other grooveboxes of its time. Gets me nostalgic for old dance and rave, or old Sega game sound tracks.

[acidthunder1988]

@BeatzFollower I have one, not played with it for a few years, payed £1200 for the thing, if you take the time it can do some amazing stuff, I ruled at a house party with it on new years eve 1999/2000

[tibken]

very good music !! and totally loving this groovebox !

[vicachcoup]

Very nice pad sounds - not sure what you're doing but I don't recall those sounds from the MC505 - bass seemS on the light side tho - nothing driving it forward ? due to the recording onto youtube?

Please check and give some feedback on my new upload made with the MC505 if you will

[Traumlotse]

Hey, das rockt!!

[ACIDtune]

cool

[ddaynyc]

I feel like not alot of people get into really heavy patch programming on the 505, and that's the best way to really tease stranger sounds out of it. You can tell the presets from a mile away and the patch edit function is rich enough to turn out some really multilayered tech grooves.

[hualmaceful]

i agree, this groovebox has many ways to edit your own patches, you can get strange sounds from it, it is not necessary that you use the presets only, it is true, you can tell the presets from a 1000 miles je je,,but if you really get into it and edit, you will find it like went down to a diamond mine and rescue some jewells, of course like the mines, it is problably that you invest many time digging it ,,,

[hualmaceful]

@ddaynyc  i agree, if you invest time in editing your own patches, you can produce more colors, dont know why most of the people use its factory sounds.

[ddaynyc]

@hualmaceful

I guess because it's easier... I think less people really explore their synths these days, what with the prevalence of store bought sound packs and endless banks of software synths.

[hoodwink808]

mate my 5-o has broken lcd screen, anyone know where to get rplacement? im in nsw, oz.,.

[ddaynyc]

they sell loads of 'em on the internet, the mc505 had a shitty LCD screen and a lot of folks needed replacements. just google it. Cool thing is you can get 'em in different colors, like blue and purple!

totally worth the time.

the lines are starting to die on my screen too. time for a replacement.

[hoodwink808]

thankyou for the tip, seems obvious really doesn,t it!! i tried thru roland and no go. purple sounds great.. i will get onto it. thanx again.

[circarter]

@hoodwink808 hey dude mines in the shop now $370.00 to fix the screen, watsons electrical in brisbane. Call then they should be able to hook you up in your area. The new screen is from another model as the manufacture went bust, hence shit lcd screen. They have to modify it to make it fit. Hope this helps.

[2pillsipop]

@circarter dayum son u got ripped off theres a sight that replacement screens for 50 bucks just got mine in blue with white writing

[TheMike255]

grate song!!

[djgalactic]

Crazy tune

Respect

[BrianPerezVMG]

Nice one brother!! Groovy track.

[HumanKreationz]

Awesome , wish i can do such amazing stuff on my 505 as you did , btw just bought a 505 because of your videos =)

[MadCobraProductions]

nice. i would put a nice heavy reverb on the clap.

cool vid though

[OliverChevallier]

nice stuff! :)

can you save your own samplse from the computer on the mc-505?

[hoodwink808]

no you cant,  307, 808 909 mc's can tho

[xledhead666x]

Good song and nice fag dancing.

[baalheylot]

Nice work,

I use the mc 505 with reason 4, or cube sx3...

it sound really good

[lcaise]

Hello mate, nice work!

I'm lookin' forward to buy this machine, but I've some question befor I bought.

Is possible to link this machine with ableton, when ableton will be drum-machine [with plugins VST from d16 group], and mc-505 will be sound module and fx processor?

I need a chain like this:

505 -> [linked by MIDI] ableton -> 505 audio for an studio mixer, and pc audio for an 2nd channel on a studio mixer -> mixer master -> audio interface linein [recording].

it's possible ;) ?

[tubeuser303]

i think, this will work...!

[hoodwink808]

yeah, i use ableton & 5-oh together. you can send midi messages to 5-o , from live, to control anything in the 5-o's memory. and yes audio back into computer to record, for use in live. it can go all oyer. at smetime i rewire reason4 into live. you can also hook a keyboard controller to 5-o to bypass those rediculous keys it has.

[norphies]

Keep up the good work!

[derlig]

is it possible to use this together with ableton??

[tubeuser303]

of course, you can use it as a normal midi expander or synchronize the internal sequenzer via midiclock

[djkikis]

im planning to buy one of these.. im gonna make an electronic band w my mates... so i decided i think i need one of these... i have a roland SP-404.. but i dunno if it'll do the trick its more of a sampler.. hows this for a live pa band? i think it should be just nice right? comments please.. nice track btw ;)

[tubeuser303]

i would recommend you the yamaha rs-7000. it has more features and a better handling for live...

[mentalmistake]

not bad, but as a mc505user myself, u should customize your sounds more, they nearly all preset sounds

[tubeuser303]

of course the mc505 has much abilities to customize sounds, but i also love some of the presets...

[Malekas85]

how do you make your song? Any software sequencer for roland mc 505?

[tubeuser303]

no, it's only the internal sequencer with one pattern performed in realtime as seen in the video...

[Malekas85]

but your sound is very good... How do you recorder your song? thank you...

[tubeuser303]

i record it with the soundcard of my pc and do a little mastering after that (compressor, eq...)

[Malekas85]

thanks!!!

[TrascalMusic]

the deep bass drum is so cool ;-) nice track

[xtc303909]

I like the Schweineorgelsample!

Did your mom coordinate the light fx? :)
