Roland MC-8 Factory Demo Program - Bach Invention #1

Complete Record: NOTE: this MC-8 is currently up for sale on Reverb: https://rvrb.io/1977-mc-8-microcom-7i6np8 This channel is not monetized. If you like what you see here and would like to help me continue sharing cool stuff on my channel, please consider making a donation via Venmo @Pea-Hicks. This is another of the demo programs provided in the Roland MC-8 manual. This time it's a Bach Invention, played back on a Roland SH-101 synth (not seen in the video). The first part of the video is specifically designed to bore you with stunning footage of me entering the channel 1 CV data for the first 3 pages of the 10-page score. Be thankful that I didn't decide to include the entire CV/Step/Gate data entry process for the entire score. In the 2nd part of the video, you hear the entire mixed piece, played back in sync with the MC-8 displaying the CV data for channel 1. After posting this video, I was informed that Yellow Magic Orchestra featured this very same demo at the very end of the show during their 1980 world tour. You can hear their version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1qocPz5gLo For more info about the MC-8, and to see high-res scans of the score & program data sheets for this piece, please visit http://www.rolandmc8.wordpress.com
