Description
Compact Groovebox
The MC-101 delivers the power of Roland’s flagship groovebox in a portable, battery-powered unit. With four tracks of sequencing, sampling, and synthesis, it’s built for music creation anywhere. Import loops, sequence MIDI, and tweak sounds with hands-on faders and knobs.
ZEN-Core Sound Engine
Powered by Roland’s advanced ZEN-Core engine, the MC-101 combines virtual analog and PCM synthesis. It features legendary sounds from the TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, JUNO-106, and SH-101. Modern hybrid synthesis ensures endless possibilities for creating future-ready tracks.
Pro-Grade Effects
Each track has dedicated EQ and independent multi-effects, including chorus, reverb, delay, overdrive, and distortion. Master effects like filters, bit-crushers, and compression polish the entire mix. The result is professional-grade sound design in a compact format.
USB & Expandability
With USB audio/MIDI, you can record directly into your DAW or sample from it for live use. The MC-101 supports expansion with downloadable loops, one-shots, and sound packs. This ensures your library stays fresh and adaptable for any style or performance.
