what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Get one, youll like it!"

Feature:
It has everyhting you need to lay down a tight beat. The only thing that I am disappointed with is the lack of velocity sensative pads and the motorized faders are kind of quirky.

Quality:
I would have liked to see a little more sturdiness, but good overall.

Value:
PIMPIN!

Desirability:
I own it!

Sound:
The unit sounds great, much better sounds then the 909.

Ease of Use:
Start Bangin the beats out right away!

Support:
NA

Overall:
Great tool Period.

New-Generation Groovebox with Motorized Faders
From the company that made 'groovebox' a household name comes a remarkable addition to the famous Roland groovebox family: the MC-808. Optimized for realtime performance, the sleek, silver powerstation features 8 motorized faders on its surface -- a groovebox first! With Roland's most sophisticated processor at its core, the MC-808 possesses top-of-the-line sampling, sequencing, and synthesizer features yet it comes in at a new, low price point.

Features:
8 motorized faders -- a groovebox first!

Same powerful sampling & sequencing features as MC-909

Brand new sounds and patterns

128-voice polyphony

CompactFlash slot for memory backup

USB for storage and AIF/WAV file import and export

16-step pad bank, D Beam controller

Editor software included (PC/Mac)

Flagship Features
The MC-808 shares 2 key attributes with its elder sibling, the flagship MC-909: The same top-of-the-line sampling and sequencing features that made the MC-909 so famous are built into the MC-808, making it a serious tool for sampling, editing, track building, and mixing. Performers are in for an extra treat with the MC-808, however, as it has a remarkable feature that no other groovebox has...

Motorized Faders
Motorized faders on an affordable groovebox?! You're not dreaming. The MC-808 is the world's first groovebox with this feature! Sure, the motorized faders look cool, but they also provide serious power for live performers. No matter what pattern you call up, the faders will snap to the proper position. As a result, the parameter values and position of the faders always correspond, allowing you to see the values instantly and make changes directly. No more unexpected jumps in values when you grab a fader in mid-performance. It's always in the right position. Plus, from the fader movements you can see automations such as filter, pan, and part levels changes. If you want to cancel and control the faders manually, simply move the touch-sensitive faders.

New Sounds & Patterns
The MC-808's internal sounds and patterns have been created fresh by top international artists. These slammin? new dance and hip-hop grooves are instantly ready for primetime, but playing and manipulating the internal patterns is only half the fun. The MC-808 allows any sounds to be sampled, edited, and added to the song WAV and AIF files can also be imported from computer via USB. A few 'must have' sounds from the MC-909 are also included.

Editing Software
The MC-808 ships with a free Mac/PC (Mac OS X, Win XP/2000) editor for serious sample and patch editing and part mixing tasks on the luxury of a large computer monitor, and for shuttling the files effortlessly back and forth via USB.
