5 Minutes With: Roland MC-202 Microcomposer

US Rare and squelchy      10/07/25

Chris from @booelectric  treats us to some quality time with the  @rolandglobal  MC-202 Microcomposer from 1983.
It's essentially an SH-101 in a tiny case but with a two channel 2500 CV/Gate note sequencer.

Originally sold for $499 it now goes for well over $1200 if you can find one - they didn't make many. If you are lucky enough to own one, be sure to check out the Tubbutec MC2oh2 upgrade.
