In 1997, we released a crazy hack for the Roland MC-202 that allowed for programming of its sequencer with MIDI files through the tape input jack.  And though it is still maintained and works on today’s computer systems over 25 years later, Tubbutec has now created an even more stunning advance for this synth, the MC-2oh2 mod.  In partnership together with them, we’re proud to announce a brand new companion tool for it, MC-2oh2 Hack!

New version 1.01 now available – see Version History in Documentation for details.

• Get and send pattern, song, set or all data from/to the MC-2oh2 via SysEx
• Load and save pattern, song, set or all data from/to disk
• Edit MC-2oh2 patterns in the software, not on your MC-2oh2’s screen
• Preview one or more MC-2oh2 patterns in realtime on the MC-2oh2, including all note modifiers, via MIDI.  Can also choose to preview the note sequences on another hardware or software synth
• Adjust all LFO, ADSR, filter accent and noise modulation settings, again with real time preview
• Constrain patterns to selectable scales, with ability to preview different scales before committing
• Randomize pattern notes, lengths, volume, filter and noise accents, and portamento, all via user-specified ranges
• Upload samples to the MC-2oh2, as easy as drag and dropping WAV or AIFF files onto the application and clicking one button!
• Adjustable application size

• Intel:  OS X 10.11.6 or later
• Silicon: OS X 11.0 or later (runs natively on Apple Silicon machines)

• Windows 8 or later (64-bit only)

“I really can’t think of a single reason NOT to get the dedicated 2oh2 Hack software… I’d get it for two features alone: first, you can easily upload your short (drum) samples into the 2oh2, the Hack makes it a breeze, but most importantly it features a sweet randomizer that works not only on notes, but also on a number of events in the pattern, and the probability of having a modifier per note: portamento, volume accent, filter accent and noise. You won’t be disappointed.”
