Who’s using it
Alex Ball (Alex Ball Music)
After about 18 months of the dorkiest analysis of data dumps known to man, Dan Nigrin and co have reverse engineered the 1977 Roland MC-8 music computer so that you can create midi files and convert them to an FSK audio file that you run into the back of the unit. Voilà, it works!

In addition to his work on the Optigan, Pea maintains the most comprehensive source of information about the MC-8!
