The Roland MC-202 (MicroComposer) is a monophonic analog synthesizer/sequencer released by Roland in 1983. It is similar to the TB-303 and SH-101 synthesizers, featuring one voltage-controlled oscillator with simultaneous saw and square/pulse-width waveforms and a resonant -24db filter. The sound and controls are closer to the SH-101 in that it uses sliders instead of rotary knobs to alter its sound, but it is programmed much like Roland's early digital MC-4 and MC-8 Microcomposer sequencers, with an accent and slide functions similar to the TB-303.
