Roland Premier Dance Tool

If you are a DJ or the type of producer who loves dance music this machine is for you. The MC-909 is the product of years of experience that’s roland has from launching killer dance production machines like the MC-303, MC-307 and the MC-505. By the way I still have an MC-303 in my production arsenal and it still kicks major ANUS!

The MC 909 is a combination of a sequencer; drum machine, synthesizer and a sampler. Yup! This is not a toy. Major producers, the “Neptunes”, use the piece of production hardware in their studio. That should say a lot. Of course I have played with the workstation and even have a smart media card with about 20 songs left on it from a production session I was paid for here in Atlanta.

The sampler is sick on the 909 and the sound quality is very good. You will be producing hot songs right out of the box. Hear one of the songs I produced using all the sound and factory drums from the MC 909. Nothing in the song is sampled it’s all from the 909. I really liked it…I tried to get the studio manager from the session to give it to me but he kept it for himself. Oh well, as long as I got paid!
