  • The Roland MC-707 GROOVEBOX has everything electronic music producers need to create a song or perform a live set without a computer. The MC-707 is armed with an eight-track sequencer optimized for fluid production, our latest deep synthesis engine, a powerful sampler, massive effects palette and 16 ultra-sensitive pads for playing or sequencing drum parts, melodic basslines, or polyphonic chord progressions.
    The MC-707 Video Manual series looks to dive deep into this powerful GROOVEBOX and takes you through the MC-707 in a sequence as if you turned the instrument on for the first time. We highly recommend viewing the Parts in order but we have also provided chapter links below for you to jump straight to what you need to know.
    In this MC-707 Video Manual (Part One), the chapters are:
    00:22 Look and Feel
    01:38 Projects, Tracks, and Clips
    07:02 Tone Tracks
    29:11 Tone Editing
    46:42 Drum Tracks
    About the Roland MC-707...
    The MC-707’s eight-track sequencer is made for today's electronic-focused music styles and ever-evolving subgenres. The TR-REC step sequencer is just like those found on classic Roland drum machines, perfect for building rhythm parts quickly. There are also 16 ultra-sensitive pads for playing or sequencing drum parts, melodic basslines, or polyphonic chord progressions.
    The MC-707 features our latest sound engine, which fuses virtual analog and modern PCM. It’s flexible, powerful, and lets you dig deep into its sonic capabilities. It has the sounds of legendary Roland rhythm machines and synthesizers that are the foundation of electronic music-including the TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, JUNO-106, and SH-101. But the MC-707 also looks forward, with modern digital and hybrid sounds perfect for creating future classics-today.
    In addition to its deep synthesis engine, the MC-707 has a powerful sampler with on-the-fly recording that synchronizes to your project's tempo and works as an expandable platform that never gets stale. Keep things fresh with new loops, one-shots, phrases, and synth sounds-all available online.

    2. Implement value acceleration on knobs , holding the shift key is not sufficient for some frequency parameters , and it occupies whole left hand
    3. If you like "winxp" style dialog boxes to prevent accidental delete or overwriting clips etc... at least assign "cancel" , "yes" "no" function to c1/c2/c3 or c4 knob push function

    hello
    here my little list...
    bugs:
    -SEL + push C3&C4 knob triggers extra action
    if in main menu
    i press&hold SEL button to use with C knobs to change LEV,PAN,DEL,REV
    and if i press C4 knob in order to get X10 values for REVERB ,it will engage CLIP menu
    and
    if i press C3 knob in order to get X10 values for DELAY, it will change CLIP LINE according to current track nearest CLIP,
    i think C3 and C4 knobs they should not do that when SEL button is held.
    -when holding MASTER DELAY button and switching parameter with FX PRM or FX DEPTH from Delay Note to Delay Msec,it does not switch automaticaly Delay Sync SW to give control
    over to selected parameter
    -Master Delay Sync SW
    empty project
    1.SHIFT + DELAY button
    2.FX PRM controls Delay Note
    3.set Delay Sync SW to Off
    4.FX PRM knob still controls Delay Note
    5.change to T-CTRL Delay and back to Delay
    6.now FX PRM knob controls Delay Msec
    i think that should be switch immidiately after changing Sync Sw right?
    maybe this and previous points are related.
    -CLIP ROW change,wrong step buttons colors czcams.com/users/shortsS3fWcHDEiqY?feature=share
    -CLIP copy without MSB and LSB
    -DRUM TRACK SEQUENCE PADS DO NOT BLINK ALWAYS AND ALSO NOT IMIIDIATELY BUT WITH STRANGE LAG
    requests:
    -sample purge of unused samples!PLEASE....!
    -Track Auto Select mode ,when moving pot or fader automaticaly switch to coresponding track
    -exit Demo mode when midi start/stop is received
    - MOTION OFF to recall current state of [FILTER] knob, [MOD] knob, [FX] knob
    -SHIFT + MOTION ON(ERASE) without prompting. please,just like CLEAR + SEL ,make it simple to keep the flow.please
    -LOOPER track ,ability to re record the LOOPER CLIP ,no prompts ,just press REC and it is re recording the loop ,so settings of Pitch/Stretch,Stretch Window,Reverse,and all KNOB ASSING to remain,
    this could give nice touch to this feature,you could just re record loop and play with pre configured LOOPER parameters
    please this is also important since it does not give free flow of reacting with machine when you have to do it all over again every new loop clip
    thanks,bests

    • @neptunesgold1216
      @neptunesgold1216 Před 3 lety +1

      There is no count in option unfortunately. I am in the same boat as you I like realtime recording. I just wait for the clip to play through once while the metronome is clicking and then I come in on the one. I set the clip on stay that way it looks around again, hope that helps. They released this mc 707 in beta stage there are still some left standard things it can't do. Like it can only record 8 bars before the recorder stops! That is rediculous!

    • @MrInterieurverzorger
      @MrInterieurverzorger Před 3 lety +4

      There is a count in. In version 1.72 there is at least. Shift+’knob assign’ and then in settings. You can set count from 1 step to 128. Super flexible.

  • @remy5356
    @remy5356 Před 3 lety +1

    Maybe a stupid question but i cant find how to use the tie function.. And no where how to record a simple pitchbend from an external keyboard. Guess in the motion seq bit cant get it to work.. And even in this update no count in pre count in midi mode. Cant believe that something simple like a pre-count is missing. Everybody is so happy with the arp in 1.60.. but so much simple stuff is missing. Im almost at the point of selling the 707. Hope a new update is comming soon.

  • @palindromial
    @palindromial Před rokem +1

    And in case you're wondering why with Firmware 1.81 your external MIDI gear doesn't do bank changes properly: When you're in the clip's MIDI settings tab and set MSB and LSB, then press ENTER on the program change number, everything works fine. The trouble is that when the clip is played, it sends the MSB as the LSB and the LSB as the MSB so it doesn't work. You can decide: Either it works in the MIDI tab, OR it works when you play back the clip. Yes, you need to enter whatever the MSB is in the LSB field and whatever the LSB is in the MSB field and THEN it'll work, you get a bank change when the clip starts playing. Dear Roland, it's just a tad bit embarrassing, but please figure this one out. Sadly there's no backwards-compatible fix for a SNAFU like that, but it should still be fixed even if those of us who figured it out then have to change our projects again. 😞

    Does the Mute option only work on a Drum Track? I've been trying both methods to access on Tone Track with no luck.
    Cheers :)
    EDIT: Can't be done - would be a nice added feature on V1.4 (make sequences a bit more interesting) Thanks!

    Great tutorial. The rest feature is explained but the “tie” feature has been missed. Also when selecting new patches, it always reverts back to the last selected patch used on any of the tone tracks. This makes it difficult to say go to your bass track and find a slightly different bass as the system defaults to the last patch preset you looked at. Not to bad if you had just been working on your bass track but if you had then gone to a pad track it’s not so good. It’s also then difficult to find the exact patch you used. Just a bit clunky. It would work much better if every time you selected a track and pressed the sound button it arrived at the exact preset patch you’re using on that tack. Also a USER PATCH SPACE would make the synth side 1000% easier for sound design. Also, more midi cc for midi controller keyboards and motion record “especially filtered envelope” would be great. Another feature that wouldn’t be too difficult to implement is to have 2 velocity settings for the patch tracks. This way we could have accents on bass lines and drum tracks... or even better an accent feature. Thanks 😊

    Have you understood how the "scene chains" function works? I did not understand whether it is possible to save a scene as a set of clips and then call them in a chain without specifying the next clip number inside the clip.

    very important update for 2.0! if you have several drum tracks in one project, and you programm lets say the kick on track 1 on the bottom left pad. switch to track 2 and programm the cowbell top right pad. stwitch back to track 1 to add another kick, the top right pad of that track is selected instead of the kick. so i have to go and hold down the note button and klick on the bottom left pad to get the kick again to programm it on the fly, now if i switch back to track 2, again the same problem. maybe add a "catch" for the pads aswell so the last used pad on that track is active if you switch to it. would make things so much easier.. thanks

    When I start a new project, when I go to record/play a new track, I get a demo track coming through? Is this right? Not sure why this would be the case. Also, my pads are super quiet even on full 127 vol...and the demo is super loud...Not sure how to correct this. Thanks

  • @nativeinstrumentssuperchar1277

    when we copy a pad, it's logic it should bring the step sequence but it's not, it only brings the properties of the pad when we hit func+arrow up and then arrow down. How can we copy the step sequence? or do we have to play again or do the sequence again? thank you

      Yes, i found it! Very easy, but its mentioned nowhere in the manuals or video tutorial as far as i know. Correct me if i'm wrong.
      on tone track -> shift+sound -> ctrl -> enter -> page 8 has al tuning settings, fully customizable per every single note, finaly i can play quarter tones now!

    I just have to laugh atctimes when using this nice bit of kit. I really like the MC-707, don't get me wrong, but it's a funny relationship which requires...a (special) understanding ;) Curiously,... i find myself, compared (to usage of other knobs/buttons), rarely using the big Value knob for anything. When getting deep into the ZenCore,for example, it's mostly all about tweaking C1-C4 knobs in conjunction with the Arrow Keys. the Value knob is actually restricted to switching between various left-to-right modules thus acts as more of a chooser, yet because one is already having to use Arrow Keys to navigate most features the big Value knob sits on the sidelines. On the Home Screen, suddenly the big Value knob switches orientation and moves up and down a Track in Clip View lol. Another curious thing (to me) is how the engineers decided that functions which are accessed MORE often within the "Common section" buttons would require holding Shift button on the far left side of the unit. One tends to EDIT more often than LOAD-ing new sounds, for example. I sometimes want to throw the Shift button out the window. There is also the hilarious idea to paint the Shift-functionality text in dark gray so as to be invisible in a studio lit for mood ;) NEVERtheLESS,...There are functions on this unit which make it an invaluable tool to getting unique ideas down. It (admittedly) takes a couple frustrating evenings (when one is readycto send it back for refund) but when one warms up to this it is a lot of fun and I find SOME of the limitations a way of pushing me forward. I've never composed like this before, but it's a lot of fun and tvis device is excellent for live performance as well (after some practice). My recommendation is to spend TIME reviewing all 3 of these excellent videos (multiple times) BUT also download (and print out, if yr old like me) the massive "Reference Guide", which although a (special) piece of instruction itself, is rather thorough (at times flatly WRONG). However, I was able to learn quite a lot from the Ref Guide despite my initial desire to toss it in my fireplace. It's definitely a love/hate thing with this unit, but suchvis actually the case with most of my hardware here, when I really think about it. One huge example the Waldorf Blofeld; a synth I will never part ways with but has caused me numerable headaches....and the DSI P12... same thing, different (issues). Both extremely powerful synthesizers but PITA in the first years ;p

    Not to take away from the UNDO function suggestion but I have a music theory question... why at 27.53.... the major chord in key of C4 he plays, rooted on G note, CAN THAT SAME CHORD BE CALLED LIKE other names such as Key Of G Rooted on G ...? Or can those same 4 notes also have different names that aren't in C mAJOR scale for ex...? Or can every chord only have one name and only be in one scale with that same name ?
