To coincide with the launch of Roland's next-generation music workstation, Roland is giving away one free MC-909 Sampling Groovebox . To enter to win, simply visit www.mc-909.com on or before November 1st. The lucky winner will be selected at random from the database and notified via e-mail.

The MC-909 represents the evolution of the best-selling Groovebox into a full music production system. Based on a new generation XV synth engine with up to 272MB of onboard sampling, the MC-909 provides hundreds of fresh new sounds and patterns and endless sonic manipulation via realtime controls and velocity-sensitive pads. An optional SRX-Series Wave Expansion Board can be added at any time, and samples can be used on their own or as a waveform in the synth engine.

The MC-909 also features a beefed up effects section with dedicated reverb, compressor, and two M-FX including COSM Amp Modeling. A separate Mastering processor makes it easy to create finished-sounding tracks, while the onboard USB port makes for easy exchange of .WAV/AIFF audio and Standard MIDI Files. Performance controllers include twin D Beams and a Turntable Emulation slider, which now works for MIDI and audio. And when paired of with an optional Roland DV-7PR Digital Video Workstation, the MC-909 can trigger live video with its revolutionary V-LINK feature.

The MC-909 Sampling Groovebox giveaway runs through November 1st, 2002. For official rules and regulations, and to enter the contest, visit www.mc-909.com.
