MC707: Part 3 Knobs and Motion

The time while exploring the Roland MC-707, I go over some of the knob functionality, and talk about Motion Recording and editing. A little bit about the Motion Designer to end things, nice and short this time.

Before watching your video I literally spent most of my evening trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you. You just saved me a world of stress

[@vertigev]

Thank you for this informative video!

[@johnstericker]

Really cool. Nice tune. Only got mine last week. So much there. Thanks for sharing

[@Digiphex]

Very informative deep dive. I like the music you are making as well.

[@tarekith]

Digiphex Electronics thanks, more music on the way!

[@jasonsearle2512]

Excellent. Thanks. Nice kick sound btw

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Oh cool so you have a clip/track lfo that’s programmable. How’s effect switching on this thing , can they be per clip and if so are tails etc cut dead ?

[@VacancyOfDisco]

I would love to see a second layer of assignable/motion recordable knobs added in a firmware upgrade. Maybe like hold Function and turn a knob or something

[@TheHazardousDuke]

Can't wait for your in depth review. Got mine yesterday and the manual is ass.

[@jackyzara]

Hey. Thanks for the video. I was looking for a way to delete motion records and found out other cool stuff. Do you know how to delete the motion automation after being recorded?

[@jackyzara]

Came back to answer my question in case anybody is interested: you delete motion by pressing both of the motion buttons (On+Rec) and moving the motion knob you want to delete at the same time :-)

Hey Tarektih, Do you know how to record a pitchbend from an external keyboard? Grt,Remy

[@GrootsieTheDog]

Could you explain how to use the virtual knob assn? I figured out how to use it per step but is there a way to use the virtual knob in real-time? Thx

[@oliverz3984]

what can you do with the sys-ctrl? how can I setup it?

[@jettero1]

Can i record motion sequence with an external synth?, i have tried this but if does not record what i'm doing on the synth, only the notes being played, thanks.

[@darc_harmoni4828]

How do I turn off velocity sensitive on pads? Is that in one of your vids?

[@tarekith]

Darc_ Harmoni no, but I think shift plus knob assign will take you to the global pad settings if I remember right.

[@piggehpumped7959]

FIX127 in Utility -> pad settings

[@mattspazmatic]

Can we really bot trun more than one knob at s time in catch mode? One of mine keeps getting stuck. I wanna play live but...

[@rudolfsnajdr6994]

thank you for the advice it works yet I want to ask for advice more than 16

[@smartassrecords]

knobs C1 C2 etc.. if you push them in and turn the value knob they go faster .

[@tarekith]

I said that in the video :)

[@smartassrecords]

@@tarekith i must have missed it as i heard the complaint that you had to turn them a lot , but the "value knob" allows for very easy fast dialling .

[@smartassrecords]

push and hold C1-4 and move the value dial , i found it to be quite fast .

[@smartassrecords]

ok , so i watched it again and you did not mention what i am talking about , , push down and hold it down C1 or any f the C1 2 3 4 knobs , but turn the "value dial" ( the larger dial below ) it will remedy what you are talking about regarding the fine control of C1 etc... . . .

[@gnippuz]

Just a question: Is it possible to change the note of a recorded sequence holding down the step you want to change and pressing the new note you want on the pad? I mean, if you recorded A on step 2 and you want to change the A to C is it possible to quick edit the step or are you forced to alter the pitch on the lcd menu ? Thanks in advance. I ask this because I had a JDXI in the past ant it allows a really fast editing of steps holding down the step and pressing the new key on the keyboard... and more... it let you transpose the sequence in real time... but I don't find these functions on the MC707 manuals.

[@tarekith]

Mauro Favaron yes you can totally change notes that way.

[@gnippuz]

@@tarekith Thanks so much !

[@Meltchya]

I hate the 4 main clicky knobs and their resolution... you either get fine resolution or coarse, there is no good in-betwee. The stepped clickiness is absolute trash. Roland screwed the pooch on that. The MC707 is desperate for an upgrade as an mkii.

[@rustikinc63]

I can't stand you. Seriously. You are gonna cost me a thousand dollars on one of these things. Thanks man. Not cool. :-). Knobs look a little small? Or just the scale in the vid?
