This is awesome thanks! I was trying to get a kick to sustain for longer than 8 steps so I could do bad things to it and ended up spending a couple hours messing around with the 707"s deep state parameters trying to figure it out, it worked but meant I ate up an entire tone track just to do the thing. This is great idea. TIP: what I figured out thru trail and error is that the INSTRUMENT EDIT AENV (amp envelope) tab parameters you are adjusting in this video are... TVA Env Time 1= attack TVA Env Time 2= decay TVA Env time 3= sustain TVA Env time 4= release These are explained in the reference manual, but they are buried and organized in, what I find to be, a very convoluted diagram. I find the 707 really well designed, generally speaking, but the manual presentation, typically Roland, while better this time around is still at times torturous. Hope this info saves anyone reading this some time.

Hi Jeff I have a CG8 but have lost the supplied card adaptor - in the manual it says 'The card adaptor is only for use with the CG-8. Don’t use it with a conventional computer' do you know if there is there another adaptor that is compatable with the CG8 .or where I could buy a replacement one?

hi Jeff, what was the issue that you repaired? I have the issue that I see the cg-8 logo and then after it goes black, the vga monitor doesn't get a signal anymore. The cg-8 buttons work and the system did start up but no signal out of the rgb port. Maybe it's the motherboard? Any suggestions? Bram

Very interesting and useful video. Thanks for posting! My only other comment would be that it's really hard to hear your voice over the sound of the unit, and your hand blocks the screen whenever you are editing nearby controls so we can't see what your actually doing.

Not very musical.

Hey Jeff, what's your email?? I would love the sample pack if you still have it

your voice is inaudible with the two drones together

Great! Is it possible to save or automatize this setup - in order to record long samples without altering adsr every time you record a new sample… Thanks

A very good tutorial, thanks for this 👍

Thats awesome. Been thinking to pull the trigger on one as i already have a 505 a tr8 and the brothers jdxa system 8 especially the jdxa can make all kind of dark. But mc707 for sure it stands on its own. Is a complete multisynths and multifx box so im at a point of wondering what 2xmc707s can do... amazing work bro

i want to watch this but i keep falling asleep every time i try

Hi Jeff, this is a great demo I’ve got a volca drum 🥁 but I’ve not found a way to sequence it like you have in this video. Please can you share how you got it to sound like this. Or is it the electribe doing the sequencing? Sounds great either way

Very clear, concise and well put together presentation and tutorial. Thank you very much!

Thanks! Sounds crazy with iOS Eventide/Crystals /UltraTap fe.

I've skipped a lot because it's very boring (sorry!). It seems that you've didn't told about the biggest moment: Volca Modular's wave folder isn't very "high stage". It has just three folds and it's pretty low for nowdays. But generally it's a no-brainer to buy. And I've bought a used one for my experiments and music tracks :)

So the sidechain compression only works based on where you set the triggers on step sequencer? In other words you can't select the source audio to use?

Totally dig it, man. Very experimental sounding. Have you done more with the pipe? I've had mine for a month or two, but haven't actually done much with it yet.

they sound a bit dull particularly the snare. is that the sampling quality or are the original samples dull. the kick sounds a bit thin too!?!?

Thanks for this, really useful

what do you think about the filter and distortions? i am not sure if i should get an mc707 or an analog rytm (the filter and distortion there is amazing)

ah. yeah. here we go.. solved the question from before

Great video but it is still very hard to follow along if you are not actually pointing out each specific input or output. Thank you for explaining the LFO section. It doesn't say LFO!!! However I am having a most difficult time trying to understand what you are doing at 17:50 .... I got the connection from the "pitch" of the clock into the one of the Split output ... but what is the next connection? "The Carrier Output" .... what is that? Now I have to go back over the entire video to understand what you mean by Carrier Output because nothing on the Volca Modular says that. Again, thank you for putting this video together it has allowed me to have a few major breakthrus on this mysterious box. Why Korg leaves everything as a mystery will be a mystery ... but at least we now know why people sell their Modulars off out of frustration.

Have you already tried doing the same with the Tr8s? Thanks!

This thing is just very amusical unless you're a sound engineer.

you can also copy entire channels (or what is the official name?) so first set everything up how you want it, tone track, clip ect for one track. Then copy that to the other 7 tracks. saves you some time.

That's a very weird sounding LM-1! Especially the snare. Did you use someone else's samples? It's missing all the punch and character of the orginal. I've just created a kit for my TR-8S using the original LM-1 .bins converted to .wav files. The original sounds are very crunchy 8 bit, and it *takes* ages to get anywhere near the 'Linn' sound by attempting to recreate the internal filtering/compression etc... I used to demo the predecessor, the LinnDrum back in the day, and they are a sonic powerhouse!

Great sounds! Cool camper. 😉👍

this is what i'm looking for ! any chance to buy the pack ?

Great cinematic like soundscapes. Expansion of the sonic concepts. Love it🍎

How can we get a download?

Just got the TR8S and I am salivating at the possibilities this thing is capable of . .

Interesting dark moods, you have inspired me to dig further into my Volca Modular. Its a wild beast that takes some taming :)

All the knobheads that use the word workflow every other sentence, and bought one of these, will have sold it already. Too much like hard work for em. Easily the Best volca .

Nice post

Can I ask where is the best place to get these sounds for import? I have a TR8S.

Nice video but i could barely hear you.

An excuse not to have a good drummer in your hip hop band. Millions of real view and fans. Lol.
