MC-202

“Up for auction is a noteworthy piece of music history, the Roland MC-202 MicroComposer. This iconic vintage synthesizer and sequencer from the 80s is beloved by musicians and collectors alike for its rich, warm tones.

This particular Roland MC-202 unit has been partially tested. When powered on, the power light illuminates as expected, all keys are responsive, and the unit produces sound as can be heard in the video. However, it has not been tested further or examined by a professional technician. Therefore, this item is sold as-is, with no guarantee of full functionality. Despite the limited testing, the synth appears to be in a decent cosmetic condition for its age, bearing signs of wear that add to its vintage character. All obvious cosmetic flaws are visible in the photos, from what I can see two x small nicks in keys, tempo knob at slight angle, crack in front side panel, note I cannot see that the screen comes on. ”

“Roland MC-202 with Kenton CV socket mod.

Excellent condition for age. Some very minor marks and wear – please see photos.

Fully working.

This has the Kenton 3 socket mod for CV, Gate and Filter.
The MC-202 internal CV & Gate sockets are only for programming the internal sequencer.
When played by an external MIDI > CV converter this introduces lag as it it processed through the CPU for the sequencer.
The Kenton mod bypasses the CPU for perfect CV & Gate input with additional filter control.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The Roland MC-202 is a monophonic analog synthesizer and music sequencer released by Roland in 1983. It was actually the first groove box. Its synth is similar to the TB-303 bass synth and the SH-101 synthesizer, featuring one voltage-controlled oscillator with simultaneous saw and square/pulse-width waveforms. Unfortunately I do not have the instructions but there are tons of resources online to get directions.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Roland MC 202 Synthesizer Micro Composer Analog Synthesizer – US Seller.

Estate find, has been tested and powers on with batteries and with the provided power supply. I hooked it up to an amp and plays some notes. No further testing was done.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Serviced by Kent Spong in 2021. Fully working with occasional crackles when not used for a while – as is to be expected from a 40 year old vintage synth.
Case is in good cosmetic condition with no modifications. There are a couple of chips in the side of the casing where where the unit has been opened over the years. This is typical of most 202s.
Battery cover is in place. Battery compartment is clean with no signs of any leakage. Works on batteries or via Roland/Boss 9v PSU (not included).
LCD is clear. All buttons and sliders work as they should.

I have owned this unit for around 3 years. Selling because I prefer to use my SH-101 and have access to 2 other 202s via my studio so this is not getting much use any more.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Great condition overall. There’s a few dinks and imperfections and a slight scratch at the right of the screen. The square waveform slider on the source mixer is at a slight angle. The case is all intact.

There’s a bit of ingrained dust in the slider cavities which I’m endeavouring to remove but have not yet discovered a cleaning instrument of suitable proportions.

I haven’t fired it up for a while but will do soon. Was fully working the last time I tried it, including the pitch bend, which seems to be a common malfunction on these units.”

“Beautifully restored with new paint and silkscreen, I’ve never seen one quite like this.

Works like it was new.

It’s like a combination of the TB-303 and a SH-101

I was most impressed by how deep the bass is on the mc-202. It’s super low and smooth.

The color is olive with orange logo.

“An 80’s icon. Very much celebrated before computer sequencers took over.

The synthesiser section of this was similar to the famous Roland sh-101, but this had a sequencer. ”

“An 80’s icon. Very much celebrated before computer sequencers took over.

The synthesiser section of this was similar to the Roland 101, but this had a sequencer.
For some mysterious reason the sequencer stopped working back in 1986.
Was used as synthesiser only for some time after this, but has been sitting on
a shelf for many years.

“Up for auction – my Roland MC 202.

In a used condition. Please read 🙂

Long used throughout the 90s and 00s, it’s been sitting untouched in a cupboard for at least 7 years.
I always used it in a simple ‘jack out’ or headphone out mode, never the other outputs, so I cannot attest for those.

There is some cosmetic wear and tear, discolouration, and a hairline crack on the underside.
I’ve tried to show all of this in the pics..

It turns on, there is sonic signal, the button keys work, the pitch functions work, the modulator and
pulse rate work. It’s absolutely in need of a good deep clean and a service, and I’m hesitant to do those
things because I’ve not done them before on this or any other machine.

I won’t include the power supply – only for your safety – because it’s from something else, it’s not the original.
and I don’t know if the battery option works.”

“Legendary Roland MC-202 Microcomposer Analog Synth & Sequencer. It’s basically a SH101 plus a 2 channel MC4 style sequencer.
Serviced & modded by Kenton. In great conditon for it’s age. Cosmetically great except for a small imperfection below the shift key (see picture)
Has been serviced by Kenton plus they added CV, Gate, Porta & Filter inputs for direct eurorack control. Can run off batteries for those portable summer jams. I’ve always been drawn to the unusual sequencer but I am now lucky enough to have a ER-101 (which uses a similar sequencing process of separating pitch, step and gate lengths) so have found myself neglecting this now. Add to the fact that I have a SH101, it’s a bit of a luxury for me to keep this. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This Roland MC-202 is in Very Good cosmetic condition and is working perfectly
All of the pots and switches work perfectly, they are smooth and clean.
3 ports have been added for the Filer, CV & Gate which has meant that the battery compartment needed to be adjusted for them to fit. Therefore the battery cover will not close without the aid of something holding it in place, in this case black tape as can be see in the pictures” Click here to visit listing on eBay
