  • is this have general midi?

  • @rickyarte Yes.

  • I just thought that I could get a better keyboard/workstation for this price, cause one of the sellers sold it for 200 USD as he said in good condition. what could You recommend me?

  • @manovardaso I guess it depends on what you are wanting as far as features. The MR-61 has a sequencer that is very easy to use and it has a large collection of sounds including some nice pads and pianos. Also, the floppy is MSDOS compatible. However, it has no on-board sound editing and no resonant filter. You might also check to see if the one you are considering has any of the expansion cards in it. If it does, I would have no problem with $500.

  • I have a SQ-2...does the MR-61 still have no resonant filter? I always thought that was one of the weakest things about many of the Ensoniq keyboards.

  • @xnonsuchx No resonant filter on the MR-61 either.

  • I own this synth. I got it to replace an Ensoniq VFX-SD that had become unusable due to the manufacturing flaw in the internal circuit boards.

    The sound of the MR61 is much cleaner...true 16-bit samples and noise floor is much quieter than the VFX. Much better drum samples, as well. But they removed the poly touch, removed the trademark patch buttons above the mod wheel, and removed ability to fully edit sounds and sequencer internally. All in all, MR sounds better, but VFX was a better synth.

  • @TimForsythe The VFX and SD lines had polyphonic aftertouch, but the MR and ZR did not.

  • Hello friend I have a Mr rack with OS1 .03 and would like to know how to update the OS 2.0 available some help thanks

  • i have this one

  • @jamesbooty ok, now I'm doubting between kurzweil SP88 and MR-61, I know that they both different, but from your own position what is better for 580 USD price?

  • @JustinC721 The keys on this are very light. The MR-76 had weighted keys.
