Thanks Todd. Really useful video. A question. How do you build a 'library' of longer samples, which later on you can use for different ways. For example, I would like to sample parts of songs from my vinyls (say, 10 to 20 seconds), which later on I can use in projects for chopping (short sounds in drum tracks, or longer sounds in looper tracks). I know how to record a sample from my vinyls, but I don't know how to do it in a way that lets me reuse it in a flexible way in the future. Any help with this would be super!

Hey, great video, do you know if is there a way to disable direct monitoring on the MC707? I'm trying to use an IPad as an FX unit but I have feedback issues because the audio goes into a loop between the USB mix out and the AUM audio output.

@ToddMakesMusic2 ай бұрын
Yes, you can.and in good detail, too, at least on a drum track. You press SHIFT+PAD when on a clip, then you are in the drum-pad view. Press ENTER with the pad you want to edit being selected, then you are in the DRUM INST MENU, go to Pad EDIT and you can activate the EQ of that pad! All the best, Todd

Is there a way to record the loop and then switch over to the record ed loop without playing external-in in the background? For example having a base synth playing its pattern and then switch over from the live audio to the recorded
@ToddMakesMusic3 ай бұрын
When you play a scene and you have a looper track, then you can select a clip on the looper track and record from external an possibly another track as well. After the defined recording length in measures the looped recording will automatically be played, so the keyboard player can stop. All while the MC is in playback mode. Is that what you are looking for?
@FuZZbaLLbee3 ай бұрын
@@ToddMakesMusic in my case, the base synth keeps on playing its programmed sequence when the loop is recorded and being played. It want the MC 707 to stop playing the external input when the loop is playing. The I idea is to be able to change settings o. The base synth, while the recorded loop is playing and the at one point switch back to playing the external input again and stop playing the loop. This is something you often see people do on the Octatrack. Maybe there is a way to change the looper input track on the 707 with a midi cc command.

Man thank's so much for this video. Utilizing the effect chain so effective brings alot to the sound. I'm pretty sure that I can convince people that the mix and master happens on the computer. On the other hand it's worth mentioning that without mixing like this the sound is pretty muddy imao. But do you know a way to utilize the master effects also as a send (and I don't refere to delay and reverb. The master mfx section)?
@BassWorkENTRTNMT3 ай бұрын
Sehe gerade, dass du Deutsch sprichst :D die ganze Mühe umsonst
@ToddMakesMusic3 ай бұрын
Alles gut :) ich habe genau heute auch drüber nachgedacht, aber ich habe noch kein send Parameter für die drei Total Effects (MFX, eq, Compressor) gefunden. Das Handbuch hält sich bei dem Thema auch zurück. Ich glaube, es geht einfach nicht. Ich benutze von den Total Effects darum meist auch nur Reverb und Delay. Und mache das Mastering außerhalb des MCs. Aber letztlich sehe ich das auch so, wie du schreibst, man braucht den Computer nicht zwingend für das Mastering. Aber ich benutze bei fast allen Sounds irgend einen Effekt, der komprimiert, sonst sind einige Sounds nicht durchsetzungsfähig genug. In der DAW merkt man es einfach nicht so, weil man ja kaum eine Begrenzung bei der Effektwahl hat.

Es gibt ja die Möglichkeit das Verhalten von Clips umzustellen etc. Ich muss sagen, dass ich da überhaupt nicht durchsteige. Vllt eine nette Videoidee? :)

Hi! There are 2 TR606 kits on the MC 707 in Bank A and 3 more in Bank B. And then individual instruments (e.g. Kick, HihHat) are available for creating your own drumkit from different instruments, e.g. kick from 606, Snare from 808 and so on. There is a sound list available at Roland.com that lists every sound/instrument there is on the machine. It's 57 pages long, though :D
