Roland MC-707

Sequencer & Scenes

The eight-track instrument has a clip sequencer that stores 16 patterns per track. This gives you the freedom to exchange 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 it's an extensive drum track per track, playing polyphonic chords, pads and other sounds, firing sample player loops or OneShots, or sending MIDI sequences to external synthesizers, this groovebox makes it possible in no time. Of course, the MC-707 has the Scatter implemented: Expressive, to the point variations and astonishing playback effects provide for 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 your performance thematically by starting with breakbeats and funky basslines in Scene 1, making the transition in Scene 2, and then moving on to the house/dance part in Scenes 3-4.

Sounds, samples & effects

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 MC-707 is also a reliable partner in the studio and in 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.

DAW connection

Via 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 exchange, extend, repeat or simply finish composing parts. If you need the cool drum loop you tinkered with last night for the jam session with your friends in the afternoon or the complex chord sound needs to 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 MC-707!
