The Roland MC-707 UK version is an extensively equipped groovebox with a new sequencer, versatile sound and sample player function. More than ten years after the last Roland Groovebox, the manufacturer surprises with state-of-the-art Zen-Core technology, official live functions and sophisticated DAW connectivity.
The eight-track instrument has a clip sequencer that stores 16 patterns per track. So you can enjoy the freedom to swap and combine tracks independently. The old concept that all tracks are in one pattern is now a thing of the past. Each clip in the MC-707 can be up to four bars (64 steps) long. Whether you want to play an extensive drum track per track, polyphonic chords, pads and other sounds, fire sample player loops or OneShots, or send MIDI sequences to external synthesizers, this groovebox makes it possible in no time. Of course, the Roland MC-707 UK version has Scatter implemented: Expressive, to the point variations and astonishing playback effects ensure a varied performance.
Thanks to the eight Scene memories, you are not limited to the 16 Patterns per track within a Live Set. Each Scene stores an additional 16 Patterns and their associated settings, including sounds. For example, you can organize a performance thematically by starting with breakbeats and funky basslines in Scene 1, making the transition in Scene 2, and moving on to the house/dance part in Scenes 3-4.
Thanks to 128-voice polyphony, the more than 3000 sounds and over 80 drum kits have plenty of room to play. Cult sounds from the Roland classics TR-909, TR-808, Juno 106 and SH-101 and more are of course also on board! As a sample player for one-shots and loops including timestretching, the Roland MC-707 UK version is also a reliable partner in studio and live situations. Over 90 effects including delay, reverb, bitcrusher, flanger and more can be used individually per part. The master compressor & equalizer adds the final touch to the sum signal at the stereo output.
Using a USB cable, the complete live session with the instrument can be recorded in a DAW, and of course also modified. It's easy to change, extend, repeat or simply finish composing parts. If you need the cool drumloop you tinkered with last night for the jam session with your friends in the afternoon or the elaborate chord sound should be redesigned in the sequencer with the scatter; simply load the desired sounds and loops onto an SD card and assign them to a part in the Roland MC-707!
In addition to the power cable for operation in the EU, the UK VERSION also includes a power supply unit or power cable for the power connection in England; otherwise everything is identical to the EU version.
