Here’s a more detailed breakdown of what’s been added to the MC-101

Just when I listed my MC-707 for sale they drop an update! Glad to see they’ve add a sample preview level adjustment. That was one thing that really put me off using the MC-707 for samples.

I really didn’t expect them to add tone editing to the MC-101.

Wow, great update! I honestly thought Roland were done with the TR-8S. Opening up the FM modelling to access more parameters was definitely on my wish list. The sub-step probability and master probability looks really good. I don’t think the Elektron machines can do that?

I don’t own one yet, but am tempted to try one after seeing this latest update. Coming from Elektron it was the lack of probability that was putting me off. Now I have no excuse 😂
Thinking of going for the TR-6S for the size and battery power, but not sure whether only having 6 tracks would be enough as that annoyed me on the Model Cycles. I always found I need just one more track! Any owners of the TR-6S here? How do you find the track limitation?
