I would argue the toss that if you can't get a good sound out of something then you're not trying hard / abusing it enough.

yup

True

you can point a lot of criticisms at MC303s, but i tell you this...

i used 2 for years & years. ive done live sets with only 2 mcs & wrecked clubs.. and they DO NOT CRASH.... unlike laptops ;)

the midi timing is bang on & the programming is a doddle to knockup drumloops.

i have also used them on the fourth channel over 3 dex.

also great as a drumachine. imo

Used to use one of these as a drum machine over descks, can adjust bpm in 0.1 increments on the fly, this fits in well with a dj set, might not sound that good on it's own but adds interest. The drums fit better with some of the older acid techno.
