Tubbutec has introduced MC-2oh2, an upgrade and feature extension for the Roland MC-202 synthesizer / composer.

MC-2oh2 replaces the original CPU, keyboard PCB and display of an MC-202, and introduces a completely new control scheme for MC-202 synthesizers. The sound remains the same, but many additional features are added.

Features:

• Optimized for live performance, turns your 202 into a ‘groove box’.
• Three completely independent synthesizer control channels:
• The internal synth, the 2nd CV/gate output and a 3rd MIDI out or DRUM channel. Each channel has its own clock divider and MIDI input and output.

• Sequence editor with copy, paste, insert and delete options, can modify note pitch, length and note-modifiers on the fly
• Arpeggiator with multiple octaves, seven direction modes including ‘order of key press’. Can inherit the ‘chemistry’ of existing sequences, optional euclidian mode and live shortcuts.
• Additional modulations: Accent, Filter and PW envelopes
• Additional noise sound with envelope.
• 8-bit LOFI drum sample output with various sound modifiers, sample packs can be uploaded via MIDI
• Save and recall up to 8 sets containing sequencer and modulation parameters. No batteries needed
