MC-303 (Sample Pack) ver.3.0

In modern production, the most interesting results often come not from layers of weight and power but from the spaces in between. The Roland MC-303, released in the late 1990s, carried this idea into the hands of producers worldwide. Its tones are not always fat or saturated. Instead, they are brittle, sometimes almost hollow. Yet when placed inside today’s dense arrangements, these sounds can cut through with surprising precision and rhythmic character.

294 Oneshots / 297 Loops

Vintage groovebox charm reimagined for today’s electronic producers.

This sample pack is a tribute to the iconic Roland MC-303, a machine that helped define the DIY electronic sound of the late 1990s. Originally released as an all-in-one groovebox, the MC-303 offered a bold vision for accessible music-making, with digital tones that felt futuristic yet playful. Even if you have never used the original hardware, this pack brings its spirit to life through carefully curated sounds designed for modern workflows.

The pack contains 294 one-shots and 297 loops, ideal for beatmakers, sound designers, and producers looking to add a touch of retro digital color to their productions. Whether you're working in UK Garage, Drum and Bass, Lo-fi House, or Experimental Electronica, these sounds offer both flexibility and character.

The tones are detailed and expressive, shaped with attention to transient response, harmonic structure, and vintage digital timbre. This pack is for creators who care about the texture of sound and want tools that go beyond presets.

All buyers receive future content updates at no additional cost. New files have already been added for existing users, and more are in progress. If you're just discovering this pack, now is a great time to join the community and benefit from an expanding archive of sounds.

Perfect for those who admire classic hardware but think forward in their production approach. This is not just a sample pack. It is a resource that grows with you.
