Roland MC-707 - My first look!

Aight! it's time for me to take a look at the MC-707 groovebox from Roland! I describe some of the workflows with the unit aswell as giving you my opinions on it.

The sequencer of the 707 is my favourite feature by far and I really think Roland did a lot of things right with this one. I do have some suggestions for a future update but even without it, the MC-707 is really cool!
Thanks to Roland for hooking me up with this!

Thanks for the shout out and great point on letting people chop up the same sample on multiple pads

[tybaker]

Thank god a hip hop dude finally reviewed this joint! Thanks

[dirckxd]

They are already listening... :-) Metronome has been added in the V1.02 update.

The best video about MC 707 till now. Thank you

[fleximarvellous]

Best way to sample on both MC-101 and 707 is to use the Drum Track, you also have to import the sample for each pad individually (don’t copy from one pad to another), now you can freely edit the samples without affecting the other pads.

[MarcusFenixGears]

Thanks, been waiting for this. I was so tempted to buy it but also after seeing your video I think I hold on and wait for my MPC Live to arrive - Maybe I check out the MC 101 later this years.

[RussellAlderton]

+1 for the single sample with different start/end/loop points, that is really really needed, good call

[humankapital]

Thank you. Mine should arrive tomorrow. :-)

[AbsoluteBestechungVideo]

its crazy to see how you could get into a product thats completly new for you so quick... i’m impressed everytime - respect!

[weisland]

Accurate as always! Clear and concise. GAS`ing for the first bit of gear in a while. Will get one second hand next year i’m sure.

[ZefZerg]

Thanks Accurate, one of the best if not the best videos I’ve seen on this box, it’s good but I don’t think it’s better than the Force or Isla instruments forthcoming Sp 2400! Keep the FUNK flame alive! 😎

[Hansie_]

Most complete video on the 707 on the internet! Awesome man

[theelectronic]

Thanks for exploring the sampler, there’s definitely room for improvements. It’d be interesting to see how a sample chopped in a DAW and imported into the box play out.

[arthatis]

Good luck in surgery dude! By the time you read this you'll be over the hill!

[richardadamson]

Wonderful vedio and glad to see you are still doing what you love. Much respect . A fan always Thanks for your time

[PedroAnastazi]

Dno if you figured this, but at the 13.30min mark, you're trying to use the one sample across multiple pads, & triggering different parts of the sample with a respective individual pad hit...
You CAN actually do this.. Just import the sample, & use the loop chopper /slicer & do it manually. The tool will also spread each slice frm ur sample across the pads automatically or manually.

So you DONT have to import a sample twice...

[biggwillbeats]

Interesting, I was curious about the new version of retro beat machines . I’m good with my MPC live, for now. Glad to see you do a review from a boom bap point of view tho. Keep ya head Up Acurate‼️✌🏾✊🏾

[ACCOUNTANTB]

The work flow is far better than any other sampler / drum machine...Even better than Akai s MPC line

[allanalogallnite]

Superb commentary & breakdowns: THANK YOU for all that you do. Keep on rockin’ and $ockin’ ‘em. About that Push 3...
🎛🎹🎚🎧👑🔊🧨💥💨

Great review fella, I think you gave a really balanced review of it. The issue of the slice sampling is that just a case of a software update to allow the box to do that.
