Any MC202 users here

[hardmandez]

Alright Everyone,

I was wondering if there are any MC202 users here. I have the chance of buying one at a reasonable price. I hear they are pretty good what do you that own them think of them, do you use them much.

I don't really need it but like most here I like buying synths and fancy a true analogue. I don't even have any more room really but was thinking about selling my EA1 to free some cash and make some space. I was also thinking the 202 is battery driven as well so I can work on some mad acid type riffs when I am travelling with my work.

Cheers

for how much can you get on?
i heard its about the same as the tb303 in matter of filter sound but just has some extras which is realy nice
if the price is good enough and you wont realy find use for it you can get around 700-1000 $ for it about the same as the tb price range

Ahhh, the analogue bug bites again!

Go to this site and look for the MC202

http://www.vintagesynth.org/

There is a cool little demo of what it sounds like. They say it sounds like a mix of a TB303 and SH101 - I'd agree. I don't own one though and honestly I would only buy one for cheap (because no keyboard).

Also, I'm not sure how you could sync it though. I'm guessing the Bass-station you have would do the trick, but if I were you I'd look into that before hand.

So how much can you get it for?

I can get it for $290/235EURO. I guess at that price it's a steel. I was thinking to sync it I could propapbly sync it off my 606 which gets synced via my kenton pro solo.

That clip on vintagesynth sounds pretty cool.

Sounds like a good price for sure. Is it all working OK? Noisy pots or sliders?

Perfect!

That's the only reason I wouldn't get one - I wouldn't be able to sync it, so I wanna get stuff that has keyboards.

I'm looking forward to hearing some sounds you get from it!

thats a great price
go for it!

Whether it is 100% OK i am waiting confirmation on. The odd mark on the casing is about it, performance wise it is apparently 100%

Its a blind buy on the internet though and I am a trusting fool haven't commited myself to anything yet though I think I will just go for it though.

how r u getting him the money...because u have to watch for scammers...also i dont know where u buy your synths tomer but they go for about 250 usd to 450 at most...if some1 bought one at 700 they would be absolutely psycho same goes for the tb303...i dont know if any of u played Diablo 2 at all but on there they have this ring called a soj or something to that extent...well its currency in the game...you have to buy them for like extreme amounts of money and they r worth dick...well the tb303 is just like that...it might be a good synth but its not worth a 1000 and the more ppl stop buying them the lower the price will go...

peace

I will probably pay through paypal. i will do a few checks before paying though, address land line number. That way i can at least pay them a visit with the boys if i get screwed.
