This video is unconventional use of the looper! The next video will be more practical uses. Here's a link to the MC707 BOOT CAMP playlist! (I will be adding more episodes to it as I create them!) czcams.com/play/PLQvVnhG7o2yROeK4Muj4CGv3fTX5Z6iMV.html&si=d7U1N2qXBSnba3oA
one other thing you might want know in prep for your sample video is how to load samples ffom the sample PROJECT POOL on to a pad. This was a head scratcher for me but I"m stubborn and dumb enough to waste a night trying to make this work. The quirk being that drum pads only want to load from the EXPORT folder and that there is no way to send a sample from the PROJECT POOL to the EXPORT folder. I think this all because the project pool feature, which is awesome 'was kindly shoe horned in via an update. anyway... HOW TO LOAD A SAMPLE FROM THE PROJECT POOL INTO A DRUM PAD: hold SHIFT + press desired DRUM PAD press ENTER cursor to INST EDIT cursor to the WAVE 1 tab change WMT1 GROUP TYPE to SAMP scroll down to WMT! WAVW NUMBER L you now have access to your project pool samples and you can audition the samples via the pad. TO LOAD TO A TONE TRACK select a TONE TRACK hold SHIFT + press SOUND use C1 knob to change OSC to PCM use C2 knob to change TYPE to SAMP the C3 knob now allows you to browse your samples from the project pool {this is sick because you can use all the zencore parameters and modulation on your own sounds) cheers!
Hey so i loaded a sample in the drum kit , but it goes for 8 bars and will not sustain even if i turn up decay and release. Set end note to 80, set env mode to sustain
@@RonCavagnaro ok- yeah. The trick is that, after you have made the setting changes I previously described, you need to continue to hold the desired drum pad while you are recording to the sequencer. So- record and hold the pad for the real time duration you want to hear it sound. Once you have recorded the pad to a loop, however long, during playback it will now sustain for a long as you have recorded it. Thr purpose of this trick method, is that when set up/ recorded like this the loop will stop as soon as you decide to stop play. IF you want it to ring out and don't care about it continueing to play after you have stopped play- leave the sample at NO- SUS and leave the TVA ENV TIME settings as they are default set. This can all be comfusing because there are several different windows with ADSR types of parameters, too. But the ones in the per pad INST EDIT tab window are the most definitive.
@@RonCavagnarowhen you combine intermodulation between OSC layers (even user samples) mixed within/out of keyzones with independently sequencing the OSC you've hit magic add the 2x lfo designer (multiple destinations??) and your are practically in modular land.. I as would many others (Roland included) would love to see you do an in-depth eppesode of this ✌️😎
@@RonCavagnarohave you tried to erase the Roland cloud icon on a desktop? It's impossible, they know everything and are everywhere.. like the eye of Modor! in Roland HQ call it the eye of Rodor ;) .. but seriously.. Rolands own videos are as dry as toast and no one is really exploring the 707 depths like your vids are ... If I where you Id up the level of the vids and Send them a link, free stuff comes to good people 😉😎✌️
Looper can only hold around 1 minute total. I am assuming this is to accommodate time stretch for each looper track at same time. But i will cover drum and tone tracks which can be 12 minutes total , 1 min max per sample. It'll be in next video!
We can sample an entire loop to a drum pad and play the loop back from a Drum track. This frees up the looper time up again. It's a workaround for sure but it means we can essentially have as many loops recorded as our SD card can remember. There's a couple little tricks to setting up the play back of loops from the drum pads properly and if you are interested I can walk you thru them.
@@RonCavagnaro Oh hey Ron, I had meant to write that reply to Isaac. I'm pretty sure you already know how to do this. Just load the loop as a sample on a Drum track Pad. You basically just need to go into the instrument edit settings for each pad and turn up the TVA Decay times in order for a longer loop to not fade before it finishes playing. (You can mess with Attack, Sustain and release time, too. which can be cool) Anyway, once you sample your loop into a Drum Pad you can delete the orignal loop because you now have it in memory as a sample. I'm happy to email you the specific steps of the operation in order to do this, but since you know the 707 better than I do, you probably don't need me to.
Hey it sounds like you have a mono cable. I could be wrong, but you can go to the record options and set it to mono. This is what i did because the cable i used on mine was mono. let me know if you hear both sodes after that :)
@@andrewwilson5721 yes i would recommend to get a stereo cable, that can plug in properly to the input. If i could see the cable ends you have we can see what the issue is. But sounds like you have a bad cable for what you want to do. Sorry thats all ive got !
@@andrewwilson5721 if you don't want to Wait try this workaround. Shift+sel, then audio insert. Turn to audio in L or audio in R. If either of those work you can technically record select input. Choose mixdown for source. Then you can record stuff in , but it records only what you hear.

I like the experimental approach. Very inspiring.

anyway...
HOW TO LOAD A SAMPLE FROM THE PROJECT POOL INTO A DRUM PAD:
hold SHIFT + press desired DRUM PAD
press ENTER
cursor to INST EDIT
cursor to the WAVE 1 tab
change WMT1 GROUP TYPE to SAMP
scroll down to WMT! WAVW NUMBER L
you now have access to your project pool samples and you can audition the samples via the pad.
TO LOAD TO A TONE TRACK
select a TONE TRACK
hold SHIFT + press SOUND
use C1 knob to change OSC to PCM
use C2 knob to change TYPE to SAMP
the C3 knob now allows you to browse your samples from the project pool
{this is sick because you can use all the zencore parameters and modulation on your own sounds)
cheers!
Thank you for this reference it is very helpful!

@@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii dude i tried all of this last night was up till 2am having fun this is really cool thank you
@@RonCavagnaro Nice!!!!
This is great, thanks. DJlooper is sweet. Really enjoying the wilder bent this series is taking.
Awesome!
Interesting.
Eye opening stuff ... Looking forward to Zen core dive, cross modulations with layers /keyboard zones and macro hacks .. ;-)
Ahh great ideas, I have not dived into that depth yet! Thank you!

Another great tutorial...per track is it 1 min loop max?
Looper can only hold around 1 minute total. I am assuming this is to accommodate time stretch for each looper track at same time. But i will cover drum and tone tracks which can be 12 minutes total , 1 min max per sample. It'll be in next video!
He had to do like 30 presses before he record.. I’m so lost.
Start from the first video if you are lost. As mentioned in the start of this video
I use drum pads with loops, if i remember right, there's not enough memory to fill up one column with 16 4 bar loops, which is so lame!
I'll be exploring drum pads and sample memory next episode!

@@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii every new episode is what i learned in a week haha it's practically brand new to me, im learning as i make videos!
Bought a cord to record off my phone for loops...but the sound is only coming and recording in the left ear...any suggestions would help thx
Hey it sounds like you have a mono cable. I could be wrong, but you can go to the record options and set it to mono. This is what i did because the cable i used on mine was mono. let me know if you hear both sodes after that :)
