What a wanderful little beast this is! I own one! I play it connecting the bass drum to a t-resonator, the snare to a delay and the rest to a kaoss pad. Sometimes I add a little fx from the main mixer and let a Future Retro Revolution play along with it! Just love it!
you mentioned there were volume and panning errors, were you referring to your performance, or the design of the drum machine? Either way, I thought this clip was great!
I just ordered one of these things yesterday, planning on running it through my Doepfer modular setup...should get some nice dirty and fat sounding drums with it. :)
is there a really big difference between the 502 and 503? i personally find more appealing the 502, but i am not able to try any of them because i live in spain...and in the web there is only demos for the 502...
thansk man! i am looking for a drum machine to do thom yorke/radiohead type of percussions...very electronic and experimental, playing with resonance and pitches without having to buy a big modular system...i suppose that both will do the job...thanks again...have a great time doing your music!
Strange is that MFB gear look much worst than it sounds. It looks pretty DIY. If they pay more attention on the design I bet they can be more successful.
Just love this devil - this video is art, keep up! thanxs for 4 posting it. (:

sry for this waiting time. Well some of the instruments are panned out as a part of the design. But, some of it is also my fault :D

What would be better to try and emulate the 808. This or the new 522?
EdWood2006 2 years ago
522 For sure. The 503 is definetly more 909 ish, just listen at that nice hard kick!

The difference is _huge_ - it's more or less two completely different machines.
But they suit each other very well :)
I like the 503 for the more heavy'n'hard stuff and the 502 is great for electronica'n'experimental.

Well on the 503 there are som cool "tweak" possibilities - but no cutoff/resonance.

Great. There is only a few video about the MBF 503 and this is excellent !
