i've heard it's a bitch to program, but i'm honestly thinking about getting one. i've been in love with its sound since the first time i heard theme from ernest borgnine years and years ago. there's also this which makes things a lot simpler to program. anyone familiar with it? thanks for any input. |

i got two to play both and its a fantastic sound module synth. |

i've had one for a while. if you want to do something "intentional" with it, it can be frustrating/offputting for a long while, but if you just wanna create weirdness it's very good. it has 2 dinsync outs, so it's ideal as a link out to, say, a 303 and another roland drum machine (or 2 drum machines or whatever you choose). the sound from the 202 itself is pretty lacking if you've ever used an sh-101, but it definitely has its uses. it's got a very gentle, almost bell-like sound to it. you can also record cv/gate into it (sometimes quite poorly without any mods, but it works) and edit it further. it helps writing out pieces if you want create something intentional with it, either on paper or in a sequencer. |

if you're mainly interested in sound, i would definitely recommend an sh-101 instead. it's just generally a better synth (in MY opinion, i'm sure people will disagree with me here) and you'll probably find more use out of it in general. |

thanks to both falito and staz. yes, i've heard conflicting reports about sh-101 being better than the mc-202, and the other way around. thanks for your "reports". much appreciated. nothing better than first hand reports. cheers! |

agree with that quote, i like the 202 cos got that sequencer that is a lovely structure. |

The MC-202 is fun to put it on your lappy and just sequence something, but for intentional use it really is better to either do the quantize bypass and use the cv gate, or get an SH-101 :P |

BUY IT take the batteries out and put them back in again, i heard that equals instant acid |

but in all SERIOUSness should u not be looking for unfashionable shit 5+ years old, cheap as chips, bit quirky, to make tunes with |

isn't there a problem with cv in where the notes that come in pass through the cpu and there's some sort of off synch? Maybe someone who have it can explain it better. |
||||||||

the CV gets quantized by the internal sequencer |

I'd say go for it (if it's a good price). UR's "Seawolf" fools a lot of people into thinking it's a 303, but is actually a 202. Almost positive is a 202. Lots of sweet 202 acid out there. |
