Roland MC-300 Micro Composer - MIDI Sequencer - Vintage 1989
Your chance to own and use a piece of electronic music production history! This one is in near-mint condition, very clean, tested and fully operational. Includes power cord and operating system on a 3.5" floppy disk. I will even throw in some extra midi cables so you can get up and running right out of the box!
Important to know:
The Roland MC-300 uses 3.5" double-sided, double-density (DS/DD) floppy disks for storing and loading data, including songs and system settings. These can still be found for sale on eBay. There are also drive replacements that are easy to swap in and use SD Cards rather than floppy disks. Would be a snap to upgrade and these replacements can be found eBay, as well. Search for Gotek Floppy Drive Emulators.
