MC-303 Programming.mov

There was no video on how to program the 303, so here is one. I have had this for a while and never made my own patterns on it until now. When you figure stuff out on this you feel like a Jedi master. It can be very frustrating.

can you just plug in a midi controller and play the synth sounds?

[drjackohollious]

@hongdekong yep, you are controlling the box with midi.

Just found a MC-303 in the music shop. This video got me using the machine fast!

Thanks dude!

;)

[drjackohollious]

@CARLinJPN you are welcome

fantastic man, but do you know how to drop that synth in later. So like, once you've finished recording all the different synths and beats, how do you control when each new sound begins?

[drjackohollious]

@xanthrax13  the synth and all of the drums are on different assignable buttons below the knobs. You can controll what is on and off and when they come on or off.

@freakybeats89 Cheers bro

[freakybeats89]

@DjDannyOsvaldo i thought the same thing! use the octave buttons to move thru the whole library. from kicks in -4 all the way up to sound effects stuff at +4

[DjDannyOsvaldo]

I followed tutorial from start and when i selected jungle the key you were hitting for a that snare noise, the same key on mine was like a tom or a bongo sound. Do you know why this may be? Is it possible someone before me altered the sounds for d06 JGL ( jungle)

Thanks.

[freakybeats89]

dude u the best thank you.

[Obeyyyyy]

What means ERR 8 when I press REC on my 303 ?

[cheeseprocedure]

Thank you soooo much! I literally had given up on my groovebox! Ive had it since the 90's and thanks to you now know how to use the drum machine feature, LOL!

[owenhsiaomusic]

how would you save and/or delete a pattern you've made?

[dominatus84]

You know what would've been easy, if you just turned the movie upside-down so you don't have to look in a mirror-mode ;)

Going to hook up my device right not, lets see what this baby can do! :)
