Roland MC-202

images via this auction
"This MC-202 has one mod--It has a FINE TEMPO knob, like TR-808 has. It is all working fine with no scratchy pots or sliders. The battery compartment is nice and clean. (see pics). Can run on batteries or 9-12v ac adaptor. It doesn't include the power supply --I will include a set of batteries. A word to the wise -it is much safer to use the TB-303's, 606, MC-202 with batteries as they are kinder to the electronics. If you insist on a power supply get the HFA electronics NZ made Roland replacement for $25 direct from manufacturer. This is a great sequencer/synth which is a kind of half way between a TB-303 and an SH-101. The synth section is basically a SH-101 synth, more than capable of 303-style blips and squelches, plus much more. The sequencer is actually quite powerful for what it is and not difficult to use. It has two channels, so can control a 2nd synth via CV, and importantly has controls for portamento and accent, essential if you're trying to make it sound like a 303. Syncs to TR606/626/707/808/909/303 via Roland DIN sync, or get yourself a MIDI-DIN sync converter and sync it to your "modern" equipment.

MMS - Step Sequencer Play

"Demonstrating a few more features, including transforms. I forgot to show that you can also add FX to each step individually, and that each step can play any one of 4 sounds, but anyway you get the idea."

abelincoln live looper

"In continuation of my previous post on the Yada Yada Yada samplers here is an instrument that I threw together in one evening. The “abelincoln live sampler” utilizes 3 Yada Yada Yada voice recorder circuits and simple passive 3 channel mixer for the Output signals. I only went as far as summing the resistors and didn’t do anything with the powered section in the schematic. Maybe in the future builds."
