MC202 does Squarepusher

- Here is the Roland MC-202 playing Theme from Ernest Borgnine by Squarepusher. It is going through my first-gen Alesis Midiverb that I recently cleaned (hence the open face).
Not completely accurate, but not bad for having not heard the track for a year or two.
For people who are wondering how this works:
First, he writes the correct notes in 'pitch' mode. Then, from 0:16 he enters 'step' mode to set the step length of each step. From 1:00, the last 4 high pitched notes are threated with the 'Accent' and 'Portamento' effects, located on the bottom right side of the MC-202. Before he starts the loop in Play mode, he first enables Cycle mode by pressing Shift->Tempo. Cycle mode will loop the notes endlessly.

i miss old youtube with vids like this
Why, you've seen them all?
Once in a while my brain remembers this video and no matter what I'am doing at the moment, I have to come and watch again.
started giggling as soon as you hit the reverb
Just came back after at least a decade since I first saw this video... this video is what I used to watch on repeat dreaming about owning a MC-202. I bought one in 2015 or 2016 and then moved into using 1v/oct CV/Gate analog modular gear. This is one of the core memories and pieces of inspiration from my teen/early 20s. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart!
that video made me miss my mc 202 :-/ people... don't ever sell ANY gear... EVER!
Sh*t..work's been slow..going to unload my TR606 :( but you're still right.
This is amazing.
Love this vid and the original tune so much,he nailed it perfectly!
Sounds absolutely beautiful.

Who still loves sequenced synth nothes with revirb in 2019?
Me 2020
pretty much everyone. since forever.
I like how you picked tracks from squarepusher and aphex twin that are quite similar, both built on a looping, monophonic synth sequence.
Fucking awesome man.
Made me shiver because Squarepusher is probably my favourite artist with Aphex Twin, and this is pretty good. BTW your video and the Black College Football game is HILARIOUS.
i laughed when i you pressed play and i figured out which line you were programing!
Beautiful!
the original was done on a 101, it's what he did all those bits on around that time, love both though :)
can't beat the old roland stuff eh :)
Pure excellence mate,, could feel the yes hand claps
I think you need a quadverb to get the reverb just right.
why its that? I would like to know wich reverb set has on this video
@@Marianobass It's a verb from a Midiverb 1
sounds majestic as soon as you hit the button= nice
Sooo awesome! Thanks Kraft!!! totally great!!!!! and one of my all time fav []
Damn tho, music development looks crazy.
PLEASE MAKE THIS A FULL TRACK ALREADY
for such a old goofy machine they sure do sound spectacular
beautiful
im now considering getting a roland, thanks that was great
Perfect. Very cool :)
hm its more µ-ziq ;)

Same era, and what an era it was!
I used 2 Alesis MMT8 multi-track sequencers throughout the 90's. Brilliant when new and easy to navigate, but after a few years of industrial usage, the touchpad sensors wear out and you have to press REALLY HARD :P
Had 2 of them around 1990, both had small electrical issues. Nowadays I could probably fix them in an afternoon !
This guy treats his stuff with care..probably had all the screws in a neat box to put the Midiverb back together too lol
@HeresJamesPrice too right, you caught the spirit of the tune perfectly, obviously with a few tweaks you could get it pretty much identical, but that would be a step too nerdy.
Beautiful sound.
Very nice. Hard to emulate that box with a VST.
Can you share what kind of reverb settings do you use? Can't seem to get that kind of sound with my QuadraVerb :( I know it's not a MidiVerb but still.. They must have similar sound :)
@HeresJamesPrice In a related note, We are at the age where techno covers should be done. I would pay for that since I live in the US and no one tours over here worth a shit anymore. In fact Squarepusher cancelled a show that I was attending in Orlando, it was very saddening to not see him.
that was sick man... killer verb.
Good point. I forgot it had a noise generator on it. It's a shame they're marked up so high due to the similarity to the TB-303s, otherwise I'd grab one.
Young Chris Clark with mc-202.
Awesome! I love this! I have an MC909 and 303, with manuals. Haven't really figured out how to use them yet. Just wanted to tinker with them. I would love to learn to play them properly!
I've sold the mc..... and now I'm understanding why....
Read the description above - it gives info about the melody and electronics
wow the midiverb adds a lot! sounds lush!
Yup. Can't beat the Roland VCF. It's a classic.
Sounds just like half the songs on Lunatic Harness
Another great video.. I'm just off to see if I can find one of these on ebay. love it!
Excellent!
Great stuff.
Alesis Midiverb 1
Wow thats really nice. must get one.
🙌
luv it
wow! you are a superstar now! like U2!!
@HeresJamesPrice haha, yeah, just keep it up so you can "nail 'm!"...if that's what you want to do... i guess... It sounds beautifully euphoric to me. I don't think you need to "nail" anyone.
awsome! thanks
you can get them sometimes for $550 which I think is pretty decent considering 303's sell for $1500 sometimes. the 202 sounds great too and is really quirky so it brings a lot to the table, not expensive for what it offers I think.
what kind of reverb dit you use? boss?
wow, great sounds.
does anyone know of a vst equivalent of the alesis midiverb2? can't afford such hardware atm.
exelent!
can you do this with a tb303? i know this is a very old video.
Yes it's possible to make the melody, but you won't get the same filter. you need a 101 or a 202
Sounds very different but still cool.
So how does this sequencer work? Looks like you bang out all the notes real quick, then went back through and changed them to 1/8 notes and 1/16 notes and such.
Tell me more about this please, just bought a mc-202 :)
awesome. It sounds like frequency of the low pass filter should go lower in some places
that was fun :)
but the 2 sound sooooooo different. I've got them side by side and they are night and day. the 202 is much more dynamic, if I had to choose one or the other I'd definitely go 202
but the 101 has a noise source and more modulation shapes, of course this sound doesn't make use of those but I'm just sayin it was probably a 101
ahhh do you mind just keeping it going please!! ;)
why is it opened up?
Nice
cool!!
Delicious
i have never seen an mc202 before, but jeez its SMALL!
squarepusher most likely played this on an sh-101 as it's one of his main synths
Interesting machine. Kinda looks like the illegitimate child of a 101 and a 303.
starts at 1:12
How much does it cost? US dollars please!
millyins billyins
yeah.. probably because thats what he used for that song
Most likely, but they are identical on the inside.
you are cool.
I need to get myself some controllers :< Stuck with shitty low end computer noises
I think $550 is a bit pricey for what they are still though. But that is still cheaper and easier than building a X0XB0X
Squarepusher - 'Theme From Ernest Borgnine' i think?
That thing costs like $150 or less. Save for it, it'll be worth it.
Five years later and now the lowest price you can find these at is $799 lmao
A guy from the future
You're not there yet, but its a good start.
Keep it up and you will nail 'm!
wow - through a simple midiverb ....
very cool, even if not accurate
pwn'd
lol
1:05 lol
Too many wrong notes :/
