This reviewer gets it. I'm one of the handful of folks that has actually had some time with the 707m.There's nothing on the market like this controller for mobile/event guys. I will add that the small jogwheels are a actually a plus. As portablism has proven, surface size is not an obstacle to dope scratching. They're good enough to get the job done, but small enough to not get in the way when using the 707m alongside turntables/cdjs. The size of the unit is perfect for this. Best of both worlds really. Also the pitch faders are shorter, but the resolution is higher compared to a low-mid range controller this size. You know where it's challenging to dial in exact tempo because it skips in .2 bpm increments. The 707m easily moves between .1 bpm.
Great to the point introduction review The Roland DJ 707 looks like it can move the crowd. I own the Roland dj808, great controller, yes platters are small but very accurate for a controller with no adjustments for the jog wheels, looking forward to test the Roland DJ 707, I have used and owned various controllers. I feel the Roland dj707 is in a league of it's own for the moment as when Roland made the old school drum machines and multi track macines that are iconic. The inputs and outputs on the DJ707 are refreshing to see. It looks VERY portable definitely not for a turntablist but more so for a DJ on the go bringing the party on the go like "that" office party that needs some flavor, or a kids party, or anywhere, ( a legit hustle lol ) keep the 707 and some small powered speakers and .... instant $$$. And a great conversation piece while the crowds are dancing and sweating.
Great video! Not many DJs understand what this controller can do. At first glance the compact size will automatically assume its just a toy. But once you learn the features, Roland definitely listened to the working DJs needs. While most brands are making midi controllers bigger with brighter color buttons to try to get DJs excited...it’s not really practical. The zone outs, limiter compressor on each channel, feedback eliminator, all the extra inputs and the compact size is what the mobile DJ or even a club/venue installation is looking for. Roland just made life a bit easier.
Thanks for all the work you put into this one. I'm currently trying to lighten my load and reduce the size of my gear, so this type of stuff is right up my alley
I use a small 8-channel Mackie mixer at weddings that I do. Leaves me with plenty of inputs to handle anything that'll be thrown at me no matter how many planning meetings I've had with couples. I've plugged in an entire band before because the venue didn't have enough space/power to accommodate their set-up and mine. Kudos to the DJs that can bring a controller only and do the job that way, but I've used the mixer so much that it's a mainstay in my wedding rig.
Its just because you put it out there laud and clear, your personal opinion about the products without restraints. And if those big brands were not afraid of that kind of critics they would send you all their products to review and invitations for the events. That is what think. I love every second that you spend making your videos. Thanks for that
I have the DJ 808 and it's a good controller. The low latency is on point and the sound card is the best I've heard to date....So I know this board sounds good
Can’t wait to demo the new Roland. The features look sick! I think this controller will gain Roland’s momentum in the controller arena. Glad they are looking out for us Mobiles
I had a chance to use it (music wise) and I saw the demo. It is a nice piece for a wedding dj , I also saw someone use it with Turntables , it is a nice jog. I was able to drag scratch and did a juggle trick. But is small. People will have to use to use a small jog wheel. But doable

Thank you for the detailed review. Truly a huge benefit to use the 707m. THANK YOU!
Awesome content . Never looked at Roland controller until now.. thx

You touched on some really good points. Thanks for an excellent review!

Terry your cautious scepticism is on point.
I can imagine someone using this as a multi-purpose mixer in a bedroom studio. Another awesome review!!!
Brother Terry Excellent comments straight to point thank you 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Yes DJ! Please do some livestreams. There wil be questions for you!

danm the got me with that feedback stuff
I’d be down for LIVE vids..
Yeah we would love you to do live stream
The jog wheels on the entry level 202 are amazing for the price so I can only imagine the 707 being awesome.
