I really like how tight this sounds. No EQ, compression etc needed. It all just gels so perfectly together, just as is, right out of their original boxes. This is something that never happens when working with a computer and a DAW, where one tends to go down the processing rabbit hole, taking away a lot of time that could be put towards just creating more music.

I love the look of the 1980s Roland stuff and this is no exception. Modern virtualisation of everything is nice and has its place, but so does having tactile things you can hold, press and touch etc. The way something looks and makes you feel, has an impact on your soul and music.
Nice track, dude. It's amazing how well these older machines have stood the test of time and can still outperform even sime of the most state-of-the-art equipment today.
Spent a lot of time in the 80's with the MC-500. Even sequenced the lighting for a one man show with it. Super powerful once you dive into it. Love the idea of using hardware.
What a nice time, without computers and DAWs, we focus on creativity, and as Master Jean M. Jarre says, "we must learn to operate with limitations." Limitation brings creativity. I started to compose with a DX7, D50, R8, Casio 405, Fostex 405 8ch mixer, Fostex X-30 4 track synchronized with FSK with a Roland MC-50
Wish Roland would reissue an affordable controller for the JX8P. Just recently cleaned the contacts on the after touch on my old jx, it sounds amazing. Furthermore, there is hidden detune function which is great. Probably the most under valued Roland polysyth of that generation. I had a TR707 for a while, this was really good as a go between for midi, sync and trigger. The TR707 has a midi sequencer function which I used, good if you have tight budget. But it can only be sequencer or a drum machine, I'm sure the 727 has the same capability. Two of these and you have a drum machine and sequencer that can chat to most syncing formats. Thanks for taking the time to video this.
Excellent video! I finally learned how to use the MSQ-700 with different MIDI channels. And I finally have an MD-8 for both my Juno 60 and Jupiter 8. Now I use my spare MSQ-700 for work to punch out ideas when the students are on their lunch break. Thanks for helping my addiction to synthesizers Paolo. You are the inspiration that made me start making more music. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. :) Sam.
I was disappointed after buying one that the MSQ-700 could either be used for 8 different patterns or just 1 pattern of 8 tracks in multitrack mode.. way too limiting even for messing around :(
I really love that good old days in our recording studio in the 80s to 90s era. MC-500 was a king at that time. Our first typical setup are MC-500mkII, Roland S-50 Sampler, Roland D-50, TR-707 and 727, and Yamaha DX7.
I couldn’t agree more. Mine consisted of the following: (Sequencer) Roland MC500mk2 (Keys) Roland D-5 Roland S10 Yamaha DX21 Korg M1 Kawai K4 x 2 (I loved this Keyboard) Casio EMT10 (Piano Module) (Drums) Akai XE8 x 2 Roland TR808 Alexis Hr16 (FX Units) Alexis Midiverb III Alesis Quadraverb Oh how I wish I still had this setup.
Well done again :) I was watching this on my TV with my AV receiver turned on, and I accidentally left it in Dolby Pro Logic II mode, which mixed the JX-8P pad into the rear speakers as well. It was so immersive experience this way :) And I guess my neighbors liked the song as well, as they definitely have heard it :D
thank you for the vid Paolo! I learned on the mkII, my mum helped my buy one from a pawn store before I went to university. still have it in the attic I'm sure. Now I have 2 MC-80s, and will never let them go, I just miss the tempo track on the 500 as I learned to put in the drum patterns that way. Oh, and at school I had an old MC-50 mkII, it was great too, just it was made of more plastic than the 500, The MC500-mkII felt SO expensive, and professional, and nice to work on...
Very Jan Hammerish... You have good taste !! I was invited to create synth music with another hobby musician. I normally play jazz. It's very relaxing to create less harmonically intense music and to have SO many really beautiful sounds to work with. We were both kids during the 80s so we're very much into trying to capture those sounds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Thank you so much, Alain! Yup, synth pop is by far easier to play than jazz, especially using shortcuts like arpeggiators and sequencers! However, I'm in awe of true jazz players (my favorite jazz pianist being Erroll Garner) as I know how much work it takes to become "fluent" in that genre.
Such a great video! Not many videos for the MC500 on TH-cam. I have almost this same setup, but mine differs by DW6000, TR505, and MC300 w 500 software. Great gear and very inspirin, as usual! 🤓
So the MC-500 is recording midi data and then retriggering that data when you replay it? It's not capturing audio? Really interesting seeing this in action. I caught the end of analogue tape recording when I was first making music, but this kind of tech was gone even back then, so I've never seen it in action.
Yes, this is from a time when multitrack audio recording would require a much larger machine. Midi data is sparse [The MC-500 stores it on a floppy], and can also be corrected/edited after the the fact. Record a software synth in a modern DAW and it's basicly the same thing happening (you typically play it with a usb keyboard but the data is still MIDI). The midi protocol (anno 1983) is a bit crude but incredibly long lived.
René Munk Thalund Thanks for the info. That makes sense - was thinking hard drives in those days wouldn't have been able to cope with audio. Yeah, midi is massively enduring. It just works!
I think the mc500 has a straight forward method of sequencing and is actually kind of cool to use when you are used to it. The floppy drive can be replaced fairly easily with a more modern drive but I never bothered. I like to improvise on mine then record it on a 16 track digital recorder using 2 tracks for the sync and over dub a bit. I also like software sequencing but sometimes it is fun to go on the way back machine!
Could you explain your connections (midi cables) and also how the midi channels and soft thru is set on the MC-500. I am having one hell of a time with my Roland A-90EX getting it to work as a controller. Best regards, great Video..
Paolo! Thanks so much. This is awesome. I'm trying to teach myself music composition and I often use your tutorials to help me. I am wondering: what key is this song in? You said the chords were Gm | Bb | C in the main, and Bb | Dm | Gm. To me that must make it either F maj or D minor? Another question - how do you go about creating your chord progressions? Is it just a natural thing now, or do you have some common chord progressions you always go to? A video on composition techniques would be great. Thanks for all your videos.
Cool videos.. could you perhaps do a video demonstrating on how we can assign CC/Program Changes to external synths from a hardware sequencer, IE to assign patch changes on your synth remotely (via the sequencer)?
It seems to me, as if the sound of the snare limits the audiolevel in such a way, that the other instruments seem less audible in the explaining video part every time the snare hits. The final version is fine. Is that due to the camera mic or what is the reason?
hey can i ask a question about your keyboards/equipment? It seems like you do not all keep it in one permanent place but only bring it out from storage when you are using it - seems maybe like a better approach than trying to have a 'rack' on the wall for everything. I'm leaning this way myself. Thank you once again for your generosity and giving to the community with all these great videos!
Yes, I keep the gear on shelves and bring out specific combinations each time, for the reason that I do videos on TH-cam. It would be impossible to have all the combinations of gear that I need at any specific time, so for me it makes sense to set up the gear that I need every time I make a new video. If you don't need to do video demos regularly, I would recommend to have a static setup, like the "horseshoe" that many people have since 40 + years ago, as tbh it's a lot of work to take out the gear every time, especially the vintage synths that weigh a lot
ok thanks for that! Yes i think it's probably a smarter way of doing things - having about 16-17 keyboards myself I was trying to figure out how to have a place for each - but honestly it means there are some pretty awkward playing positions for some too. I think I will do something like that - thanks for the inspiration again! you are the world's 'home studio test laboratory' :D
In the past I had both DX7mkI and JX-8P, but I preferred to play the DX7mkI from the JX-8P keyboard due to its better responsiveness to dynamics. In facy, a DX7mkI driven by another keyboard sounds a lot brighter because the original DX7 keyboard is limited to a velocity of 100 out of 127
Perhaps all your synths are set to accept all MIDI In channels, or default 1? Use different MIDI channels for each separate part and set each synth to the respective channel
Awesome. Are separate MIDI channels required for each sound patch on the sequencer? I get confused on how the sequencer is able to contain the different patch info.
Thank you! Yes, typically you assign different MIDI channels to different synths as you record them to a sequencer - unless you want to do one at the time and then bounce to audio, in which case you can always use the same channel. But yes, if you want to play all the synths from the sequencer, use different MIDI channels for each synth
Hello, I just bought it and it is great ! Unfortunatly, i can't use the metronome. I check the function and set it on, check the volume behind, but, whenever i launch the recording, it doesn't work. Is there something else to do ? Thank you !
I just do very, very quick mixing and mastering. Since I post every day, I do a quick mix (eq cuts, mostly) and then schlep an eq / comp / limiter on the mix buss- easy as that :-D P.S. don't get hung up on the mixing and mastering, that's just the cherry on the proverbial cake, but it's not essential, if you have a good song, it'll sound good on its own merit, not because of mixing or mastering..
Hi, I've followed your stuff for years, it's amazing keep learning new things about older gear. I own a MC500 and was wondering how to do a small midi set up correctly.... I would like MC500, LM2 (with Kmidi) and Roland JD800 to interact ? No luck so far..
It is not entirely clear how the DX7 plays 3 parts in dif ferent timbres: does this happen on one MIDI channel or does each timbre have its own MIDI channel separately? PS I have long wanted to buy a MIDI recorder for myself, but their functionality on a small display is not very informative, comparable to modern software sequencers. One plus-except that they do not hang and do not crash.
I really like how tight this sounds. No EQ, compression etc needed. It all just gels so perfectly together, just as is, right out of their original boxes.

do you believe that? He used Overloud Breverb2 - that is a plugin... this was recorded to a daw and then worked on.
100 percent
"Miami Vice" vibes on this track...Fantastic!
Inspirational and very nice old school version of how music was produced back in the day...
i'm a big fan of 80' music and i learn a lot just by watching your videos. Thank you a lot.
Thank *you for watching!
it's the first time i see the Roland MC-500 mkII, what the difference beetween the first version ?
Apart from restoring vintage keyboards and playing with them, I work on pre 1987 cars and trucks.
Making a tune the old school style with standalone SQ, is like adjusting a carburetor on old car.
No computers, no scanners. Just a good old screwdriver.
Same here. Push a button. Record a track. Push a button. Record another track.
Pure simplicity.
I love the look of the 1980s Roland stuff and this is no exception. Modern virtualisation of everything is nice and has its place, but so does having tactile things you can hold, press and touch etc. The way something looks and makes you feel, has an impact on your soul and music.
love the form factor of those big old 80's sequencers, must be a pleasure to punch in and out! great track :)
Thank you, Woody! Yes, those chunky, old style buttons are really nice and easy to push - punch in and out is very easy to do!
Agreed. :)
This brings back fond memories.

Awesome! Great use of all three synths

What a sweet tune ! the workflow with the MC-500 seems nice and easy indeed.
It's always a pleasure to see u ;)

Used the mc500 2 for years, love it. Floppy drive died, moved on to octatrack, still look back at the mc... love them both

There is a chain between pad and kick too ... 🔥

really looks like a side chain or a lfo modulation on volume ...

Hi, do you think will it work with Korg DDM-110 Super Drums? When it's in sync in mode, I couldn't get it work with my Keystep :/
And thanks for the demo!!!

Can MC-500 mkII loop sequences? I have one, and have absolutely no idea how to loop sequences
Sounds detuned at 6.01 Paolo , good videos ++
THank you - yes, I flubbed the last couple of measures (was recording in the evening and was quite tired)
thanks Paolo!
this tune rips!
In the past I had both DX7mkI and JX-8P, but I preferred to play the DX7mkI from the JX-8P keyboard due to its better responsiveness to dynamics. In facy, a DX7mkI driven by another keyboard sounds a lot brighter because the original DX7 keyboard is limited to a velocity of 100 out of 127
Wonderful!
now I can "see" what all those things listed on 70's-80's-90's LPs actually are
Do you know how to do a program change to change patches
I have the mc-500 and when I record a part all my synths play the same notes? How do you get them to play separate parts?
Perhaps all your synths are set to accept all MIDI In channels, or default 1? Use different MIDI channels for each separate part and set each synth to the respective channel

Hello, I just bought it and it is great !
Unfortunatly, i can't use the metronome. I check the function and set it on, check the volume behind, but, whenever i launch the recording, it doesn't work. Is there something else to do ?
Thank you !
Probably get a separate standalone metronome.... preferably one that has MIDI. That should help
Wondering how you side changed th re pads to the kick?
Old school music recording! Old music! Old movies! Old cars! Old video games! Old wome...Hmmm...Never mind
I had an MC-300, but it went right out the window when I got an Atari ST-1040.
Great sequencer though.
Do you know Reason5 or Abelton Live 8 very well? I could use some help! Cheers!
I use Logic Pro X. Does that mean I should disembowel my glandular pancreas with a rusted nickel soup spoon?
how could you say such a thing
DAW's are amazing don't listen to these clowns.
How are the midi cables set up? 4 recorded pieces - how many midi out slots does this sequencer have?
It has 2.
Your video is very good. I'm a DX7 programmer. I'm looking for good FM tones to share. Thank you.
are you mixing or mastering these tracks before you upload them? hows it work? thanks!
I just do very, very quick mixing and mastering.

yeah it's i wanna know what love it sounding
Very nice Song! The one Bass note in the back is kinda off for my ears but i loooove the vibes! Especially the lead melody.
This is so bad ass. Waiting for the vocalist.
Is it possible to load up midi files that I have made myself or downloaded on the computer?
hi bro plz any idea about how to fix the timing issue in loop mode for this sequencer?
