General

The   MFB-301   Pro   is   a   technically  advanced   reissue   of   the   model   MFB-301,
expanded   by   the   claps   of   model   MFB-401.   This   analog   drum   computer   is
programmable and storable. The patterns can be programmed step by step with
their corresponding parameters. In addition, the unit is fully controllable by MIDI.
To avoid faulty operation, please follow the described key combinations to carry
out specific functions in the exact sequence as described.

unit. Alternatively, the unit can be supplied with power from a computer or from a
power bank with at least 100 mA current.
Connect the input
