Microcomposer section You can spontaneously enter music data just by typing the NUMBER keys or STEP keys, or by playing the keyboard along with the metronome. Attributes such as Accent and Portamento may be entered as a part of the music data. By setting up another monophonic synthesizer (1V/Oct), you can play 2 voice music. The built-in Tape Interface enables you to save the entered music data into an ordinary cassette tape. The MC-202 offers a total memory capacity of 2600 steps (approx. 150 measures with 8 steps in each measure). Also, the display window tells you how many more steps you may enter. The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicates the current information (data) or tempo, etc. A beep will be heard if the operation has been correctly done. Synthesizer section This is a high quality synthesizer with 1 V/Oct system. This keyboard covers up to 9 octaves by changing the VCO range, SUB OSCand TRANSPOSE. Provided with an excellent VCF with sharp cutoff slope of 24 dB. Jacks and others 3 DIN sockets (IN x 1, OUT x 2) are provided on the MC-202 for synchronizing with an external sequencer or rhythm machine that also includes the same DIN jack. The MC-202 is also provided with a CV and a GATE jacks (IN x 1, OUT x 2) to control the external keyboard (1 V/Oct), or to enter the data by an external keyboard. By using the Tape Sync function, you can record the Synchro signal onto a tape, and later dub a new part by synchronizing the MC-202 with that signal. The MC-202 is AC and Battery Powered (AC adaptors BOSS PSA-120, 220 or 240 are optional), and the Display Window tells you if the batteries are low. 3 Contents Important Notes..............6 ■ Power Supply ■ Location ■ Cleaning ■ LCD ■ Cautions How to replace the batteries Others ŒI Introduction............... 8 S3 Panel Descriptions and Connections...............9 A.
