Roland Bass & Drums M-BD1 Sound Expansion Rack Module - 100V
The Roland M-DC1 Dance Module, released in 1995, is a 1U rack-mounted sound module designed for electronic dance music production. It features a wide range of pre-loaded sounds and rhythms from classic Roland gear like the TR-909, TB-303, and SH-101, which are particularly useful for techno, house, and other dance genres. The module offers 226 preset patches, 16 drum kits, and 18 performance presets, all built around 8MB of ROM containing 255 PCM samples. These samples include drum machine sounds, synth patches, and vinyl-like noise, providing a distinctive retro aesthetic.
Though the M-DC1 offers robust multitimbral capabilities (8 parts with 28-note polyphony), it is largely a preset machine with limited on-board editing options. It has built-in effects like reverb, chorus, and delay, which apply to the overall output rather than individual patches
