Rolland MC-505 what to use it for??

I use traktor pro with an s4 + midifighter pro i do not produce, where can i possibly use it for, i hate to see it standing useles on my desk

It was a present so i can’t sell it.

wow! i hadnt even seen one of these before, christ id just be happy looking at it! although you could give producing a try :slight_smile:

Just put it away for about a year and the feeling will be gone. Then you sell it.

You could always “Loan” it to me for a few years :smiley: (i’ll pay shipping!)

I’d even send pictures :eek:

if you don’t produce i guess it’s pretty useless.

i guess you could midi link it to traktor and add a couple synth bits into your dj set… then again, sure that would get kinda old.

a sneaky sell might be your best bet. depending on who bought it for you maybe you can get a similar piece of gear that’s actually useful to you, like a similar looking midi controller or whatever. just pass it off as the gift lol.

how would i use it with traktor, i own a midi to usb cable but i dont know how to put the MC-505 in midi mode

I used to have an MC-505 - great little toy :slight_smile:

as far as I recall, it always outputs midi - just hook up some midi cables and you should be able to use it to control Traktor / whatever.

btw - I don’t think you’d get much money for it… probably no more than £200 at a push.

Shabazz Palaces uses a SP-555 with Serato, but he’s not really a DJ, and that’s not exactly a 505.

You can always do what MIA did and just experiment with it. Who knows, you might get something cool out of it.
