does the mc202 and the sh101 have the same engine? cose they have the same type of sound.

[phono1337]

@offroadrc pretty much, theres a couple of differences but the core is the same yes

what kind of converter? I have a kenton midi to cv converter should i just use that for the ms 20. i basically want to sequence everything and use my laptop as a master or slave it to my 909. I have a tr 909, sh 101 and ms-20 and thinking about adding a mc 202 to the fold.

@mickooyy

if the kenton can do hz then sure use that for the ms-20, if the kenton has a sync socket also its probably better to run that to the 202 then a sync out to the 909 sync socket. Some models of the 909 have an early rom with a midi sync bug

[mickooyy]

how do you use the second track of the sequencer to sequence another synthesizer? Im thinking of using it to sequence my ms-20 via cv.. is this possible?

[phono1337]

@mickooyy no the ms-20 doesnt use 1v/oct so its not directly compatable

[intergritty]

Very nice, got me a nice jackin' bassline right after seeing this!

By far the best MC-202 tutorial I've seen so far, Cheers.

its quite simple to use the other channel, you just press the channel button while in edit mode and it toggles ch1 with ch2.

However it wont be much use for an ms-20 since the korg machines are not 1v/oct but hz, so it wont track properly without some sort of converter.
