It all started with the MC-303 in 1996. Then, in 1998, the MC-505 Groove Box exploded on the scene and added a whole new dimension to the word "Groove." With over 500 sounds, 64-voice polyphony, a large sequencer capacity, extensive MIDI implementation, and an infrared D-Beam* controller, the MC-505 is all you need to make professional sounding grooves. The pur- pose of this document is to help the intermediate to advanced user probe the depths of the MC-505. We will assume that you already have a good grasp of the basic operations including selecting and muting patterns, as well as writing and recording your own patterns and songs. If you are new to the MC-505 or need to review these basic concepts, follow along with the Quick Start (included with your MC-505). Another good source of basic information is the MC-505 TurboStart, which is available from our FaxBack system (document #20070) or from our Website (www.rolandus.com). We will cover the following topics in this document: I. Selecting and assigning effects on the MC-505. II. Using the Mute function. III. Pattern Sets and the Pattern Call function. IV. Assigning and using the individual outputs. V. Creating reverse drum sounds on the fly. VI. Copying RPS patterns for additional editing. VII. D-Beam tricks. VII. Internet resources for MC-505 users.
