Finally something that I own. 1 small correction: voice reserve doesn’t limit the polyphony to 80. it is used when the MC-707 is running out of polyphony and then it will cut out only notes that are NOT reserved. But you still can have 128.

I'm still hitting some odd voice stealing behaviour in certain cases even when setting voice reserve. It's really annoying - most of the time I can fix it by getting rid of partials that don't matter but other times I've had to give up on using certain patches (or had to sample them). Otherwise it's a great box.

In my humble opinion, MC707 excels at though is making techno. You can crank real, inhumane techno sounds in mere minutes and you can just jam along for hours. And it pairs well with TR8S and MX-1. It's also a good sound module for way better sequencers. What this thing needs is an editor program, similar to what TR8S has. Composing or setting up anything musical with that tiny screen is absolute misery, and being able to prep the unit for live performance on a computer would be a godsend. But alas, I'm not holding my breath.

The different pad modes easily make up for it. set up your chords, set up a scale and just record it live. no editing needed. even if you need a few takes to get it right it's still faster than sitting there and editing the notes on a screen.

I just bought a MC707 some weeks ago and I am really happy. I don't feel that there is too much of menu diving. But I have been a Reason user for many years, creeping at the backside of the rack, pulling countless amounts of cables and creating mind twisting combinator patches. Than I lost my inspiration and had an musical lockdown for nearly 10 years. Now the MC707 brings me some joy and I do not feel like its limits are frustrating to me. They are much more inspiring.🤟😄

@@lionelluney3063 Go for it! 😁 The MC 707 can be step based if you want it to be. But also it is so easy to open it up. When recording the output of my midi keyboard the sequencer feels very "seamless". At first I feared that there aren't enough ticks between the notes, but as I said you can play quite good between the beats. Considering sound I can't talk about the presets because I was never a preset user. But there are some surprisingly good patches of Rhodes, Wurlitzer or grand pianos (at least in my ears). Designing synth sounds feels very easy flowing for me and I don't miss the flexibility of the Reason rack, even if the MC707 only has some lower flexibility. I really like the sound of the oscillators and there are some great litle tools to give them an analog feel without any effort.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago also. I can't decide if I'll learn to love it like the TR8s, or actually hate it. On the face of it, it's exactly what I want performance/jam wise, but the reality is I don't love the sounds, I hate the convoluted sound design, the C encoders are flimsy, the display is awful, and the pads are pretty bad even at the highest sensitivity. But I did't click with the TR for a year or so, and then suddenly I got it and will never sell it. I bought it used though, and I guess for what I paid it's worth giving it more of a chance.

Hey it's my main workhorse finally :D Now nearly my entire hardware rig has had Bad Gear episodes made about it. Thank god I recently finished building a DIY Norns build otherwise I'd be worried. After a little over a year with the MC-707 I still think it has the best synth engine going in the groovebox world. There's something very nice about having a flagship synth engine in a groovebox form factor. Now if only Roland would stop being afraid of any post 90's display tech. Okay now for some actual tips, setting voice reserve to zero for all tracks disables the voice reserve feature entirely and for me has personally almost always fixed voice stealing issues. I've also noticed the timing issue is hit and miss between units oddly enough but I usually use the more stable master clock on my TR8S as clock and tempo lead/set. And yeah that UI can be clunky as fuck but eh something had to give putting an engine like Zen Core in a form factor like that and still glad I went with the MC-707 over the MC-101.

Love the video, and humorous critique. Initially I had a love and hate relationship with the MC-707. When I first bought it, I was constantly comparing it to my MC-909. I was starting to feel like I should have just repaired my MC-909, instead of buying the MC-707. Then I started to see the MC-707 as it's own thing, and decided to stop comparing the two machines, and stop thinking about what was missing from the MC-707. Now I love it pieces. I still hate the how the LFO's are limited to 4bars max in the patches, and 2bars max in the FX... but I'd rather be on the MC-707 making music instead of using a DAW.

I love the MC-707. I own several grooveboxes, with the MC-707 and the Syntakt being my two favourites. It might be blasphemy to diehard Elektron fans, but I really prefer the MC-707. It has polyphony, it can sample and loop, it has 8 line faders, it has tons of effects and compressors. I wish Elektron came out with something like this, but they always seem to limit their gear on purpose to make you buy more machines - and as long as Elektron does that, the Roland MC-707 will be my favourite standalone instrument. 🤍

For hobbyists like me the whole point of hardware is to be hands on. If I'm going to have to meticulously assign knob functions and build my tracks out on a screen... why wouldn't I just use a DAW with a better screen and have more tracks, more effects, more... everything and then just spend the time to assign the knobs on my controller? This product just felt so confused. Great video as always though!

MY BABY!! It's pretty damn perfect in many ways. You can do so much with it. I've had it for years and I don't pretend to understand all the features. The scatter is great, the sound shaping is deep and the step sequencer can do some fun things. Chord mode is great, really flexible. It's a damn workstation in a box. You'll need to beef up the sounds with a bit of tweak and I never once found a BASS on this sucker that I like after all these years. The random patch feature is fun but useless in the end. I'll absolutely buy the next gen if they make some improvements. I want kits and I'd like the sampler to be a bit less annoying to use. Overall, a budget masterpiece if you consider the current used prices.

Same here! Had the 707 and now i am on the force and mpc … my main complain was playing a controller keyboard and adjusting wrong notes or pedals that the mc707 dis not get. On the force or mpc is much easier with the multitouch screen and bars. Miss the roland sounds so i bought a mc101 only to get the 3000 available sounds.

Have you looked into the M8 tracker? I think it's in a really good state right now and would be a fun episode to do. I'd also suggest looking into LSDJ, the tracker application for the Gameboy that the M8's interface is primarily based on. It feels like the M8 was specifically designed for chiptune producers that wanted to get into more contemporary electronic music production.

My favourite bit of music tech is the MC707. Once you learn the shortcuts and all the tricks it’s the fastest way to put tracks together without being stuck in front of a computer. Give it a few weeks of daily use and all becomes clear.

I have the MC 101 but still want the 707.. I tried it out in a music shop once and got lost in a world of my own! having all those tracks and those tracks having faders is perfect for groove box... sure you can make whole songs if you can be arsed with that matrix but grooveboxes are best when you just jam out.

The 707 is an awesome piece of kit. I use 2 of them for my Techno Live Set and this allows me to carry heaps less gear and have heaps of options available. The voice management is not as bad as you have said. I have had my units since they were released and only had to replace 1 channel fader so far.

First thing I ever bought was an MC707. Sold and bought too much gear since then, and I’m currently looking for another one. It was the best hardware device I’ve ever owned but was too much of a novice to realise it at the time. Nothing can do as much as this except the MPC One. I make pop and synthpop too, so it’s not limited genre-wise.

Excellent as always! This time's suggestion is something that probably won't make it to the show. Presently YAMAHA GS1 exists in two software forms: as Xils Lab Kaox plugin, what has absolutely nothing to do with the original, and even does without the world famous ENS effect! The more authentic one is the sample-based/modelled version GS-V by ikmultimedia. It were extemely interesting to hear/see how you integrate the latter in your musical workflow & most of all how that would sound.

Hi, just wondering why you're considering Zen Core to be a "second-rate sound engine" - does it lack something compared to e.g. System-8 ? I tried the Zenology VST which is also Zen Core and it seemed fairly powerful in the VA area.
@AudioPilz
@AudioPilz 7 ай бұрын
ACB is generally preferred among synthesists and is actually VA (in contrast to the presumably sample-based Zen). Polyphony is usually better though

Going to use it exclusively now to sequence 6 tracks of my Access Virus C in multimode and have a spare Zencore internal track and 1 to sequence the TR-8S.
