make yourself a jumper with a 1kohm resistor and some wire...open up the hr-16....start touching pins on one chip to another....write down the good combos...then solder in permenate shorts, or put switches between the shorts so you can turn the bends on and off.
em411.com fourms will help u on that.

wish i just had a few of those especailly that TB303 and that 909
im actually a bigger fan of the 808....but the 909 has its uses...lately the 909 has been acting up tho...it'll reset itself every once in awhile...i wont even take it out live anymore...i just the use mpc as a 909 live...altho the 909 is quite a bit louder than the mpc, even with the samples normalised in a wave editor.
the 303 has devilfish mods...the devilfish mods make it even more twisted....plus there is a filter input...i particularly like loading a hoover or reece sound into the emu...running a morphing filter over the sound there and resampling it....then running the new sound into the devilfish's filters...really twisted dnb and acid tech sounds that way.
dj e.d.e wrote:how do you work that mc202 i had one that a friend let me barrow and i had to just sample of it cuz i didnt have the din converter to run it midi with the mpc
i still wish i had kept it.
first off...a midi to din converter will only get clock into the mc-202...din sync is just clock...cv's actually control the gating and pitches of the synth.
ive only used it a little(im mainly the drum programmer and daw engineer round here), but when i do use it, i do use the onboard sequencer....there is a delay between when the machine gets cv pulses and when it actually plays the tone if u use an external cv source(basically every cv pulse it gets goes to the sequencer first)...there is a way to bypass the microprocessor on it, we havent done it tho...yeah i guess u could just sample tones u make with it...but like the tb303...the sequencers accent and portamento are the keys to making really cool sequences...i may be mistaken, but i dont think u can store sequences on it either....im pretty sure u have to backup to cassette...altho ive heard a rumour of a hack and a computer program u can use to save with thats much easier to deal with.
on the rare occasion i need to program it, the manual is right next to me(it is a little tricky, but i am fluent in rolandeese)...but if i remember correctly its like a cross between programming the sh-101s sequencer and the tb-303's sequencer...tbh...if u have the manual, u should be able to get the hang of the sequencer pretty quickly...its really simple and stripped down.
the mc-202 has the same synth internals as the sh-101 on paper...but the mc-202 seems to do much deeper bass for some reason...it could just be the sh-101 we have tho....when jesse copped the 101, it was pretty beat up...the mc-202 came in the original package...the clear sticker over the lcd was still attached! if u are looking for a 101, a 202 might be a good substitute, and they tend to be a few hundred bux cheaper, cuz not many people know what they are.
