Roland MC-101 Beginner Tutorials: 1) First Loop

The first lesson in a series designed to get you started with the Roland MC-101 groovebox, regardless of your background in music or electronic production techniques.

I’m hoping it helps demystify the MC-101 and modern music techniques and can serve as a starting point whether the MC-101 is your first foray into this world or not. I plan to continue this series to help build a foundation to make sure everyone can make full songs and performances with just the MC-101. I also plan to do a series of advanced feature explanations and tips to really push the 101 as far as we can!

This is my first go at a tutorial video, so leave a comment to let me know what you think. If you have any questions I’ll do my best to get them answered in further videos.
