Giorgio Moroder w/ MC-8 & System 700 via Sound On Sound Magazine
Click on the picture to read the original article, about the making of “I Feel Love.” Note, however, that “I Feel Love” pre-dates the MC-8.

This blog will be an information resource for the 1977 Roland MC-8 Micro-Composer, the grand-daddy of all modern digital sequencers. I won’t be able to offer any comprehensive tech support here, but hopefully over time there will be enough info accumulated to get you going. Please stay tuned while I gradually add stuff!
In the meantime, a good intro to the MC-8 may be found in the article that Chris Carter wrote for Sound On Sound Magazine in the late 90s.

Pea,
I’d love to hear any tracks you’ve created using the MC-8! Have a Tit Wrench 7″ from back in the 90′s. Just found out you were a member – haha!
Oh, to keep this related, and maybe give the blog an update – here’s a video of Giorgio Moroder on German TV doing the awesome “Chase” from Midnight express with a Mini Moog and… the Roland MC-8. Which I’m not sure he’s actually using, but hahaha…
Enjoy!
