Play a simple pattern use by MC 303

Basically, this is a beginner's groove-box that will do if you get a good bargain and have no other options...But you should do youself a favor and look for a used Korg Electribe and ignore the 303 altogether. It is chalk full of AWFUL preset patterns that you can't delete and has limited storage space. There's an apparent 50 user patterns available but mine would fill up WAY before that point. Unless I'm wrong, if you run it in sound module mode; say with Ableton for example you are at the mercy of the one midi channel besides the drums. This meant that all my patches were the same one...Very frustrating indeed. Hopefully that was just my error. The only things the 303 has going for it are the drums, arps, and some of the real-time controls. Other than I don't recommend this one.

I'll have to say this groovebox really [beep] s.. And here is what I (personally) base that upon (hopefully that'll help someone NOT buy this, despite it's ultra low price): When programming a sequence live, i.e. adding/removing steps occasionally while running the sequence, the sequencer completely f***'s up the pattern if you program a step, a few steps before. Also, you have to stop the sequence to change from for example bass drum to snare or synth part. Really constrictive machine that doesn't allow for live jamming at all. I'm trying desperately to get rid of mine now.. Honestly the worst sequencer I have ever used. Drum/synth sounds are OK, but relatively unchangeable/unmodifiable with the limited controls.
