"The MFB-501 Pro drum computer is a modernized new edition of the MFB-501 from 1980. It offers eight analog drum sounds, each of which can be edited in three parameters. As an extension, the model MFB-501 Pro has eight slots for samples, as they were already found in the MFB-KULT. There is a selection of 128 samples of various drum classics in the internal ROM memory. You can import your own samples with a length of up to 1.5 seconds each from a computer via USB.

Patterns with up to 16 steps and A / B division can be programmed in the sequencer, from which songs can be put together. The sound parameters of all analog instruments can be varied with each step (parameter locks). The sequencer has a five-stage shuffle mode and can be synchronized to the MIDI clock or an external analog clock.
The MFB-501 Pro can also be used as a sound module, where all instruments can be triggered dynamically via MIDI and the sound parameters can be controlled via MIDI control change commands.

A stereo output, a controllable headphone output and a sync socket are available as connections. Power is supplied via the supplied USB plug-in power supply. Updates can be made from a computer via USB.
