PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. All buttons, knobs, faders, and iO jacks are in excellent condition, and the plastic chassis is near blemish-free. As clean as they come! 

INVENTORY #58705

BRAND: Roland

MODEL: MC-202 MicroComposer

FUNCTION: MIDI Desktop Sequencer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Vintage Roland MC-202 MicroComposer MIDI Desktop Sequencer. The Roland MC-202 MicroComposer, released in 1983, is a monophonic analog synthesizer and two-track step sequencer. Often described as a "groovebox" ahead of its time, it combines the sound engine of the Roland SH-101 with a sequencing architecture similar to the Roland MC-4.

SPECS:

• The MC-202's synthesizer section is nearly identical to the Roland SH-101, making it a staple for punchy basslines and "acid" sounds. 
• VCO: A single voltage-controlled oscillator producing simultaneous sawtooth, square/pulse (with PWM), and sub-octave square waveforms.
• Filter: Features a classic Roland 24dB/octave low-pass resonant filter.
• LFO & Envelope: Includes a single sine/triangle LFO with a delay feature and a standard ADSR envelope generator.
• Missing Features: Unlike the SH-101, it lacks a noise generator and multiple LFO shapes.
• Two-Track Sequencer: It can store two independent sequences; one typically controls the internal synth while the second can drive external gear via CV/Gate.
• Acid Programming: Supports Accent and Slide (portamento), allowing it to emulate the "acid" sequences of a Roland TB-303.
• Memory: The memory is volatile, meaning sequences are lost when powered down unless preserved by batteries or backed up to a cassette tape.
• Interfacing: Equipped with CV/Gate in/out, DIN sync (one in, two out), and tape sync ports for integration with other vintage gear.
• Polyphony: Monophonic.
• Keyboard: 2.5-octave rubber button "keyboard" primarily for programming.
• Power: Operated by a 9V-12V DC power supply or 6 'C' size batteries.
• Weight: Approximately 1.35 kg (3 lbs) including batteries.
