Roland MC-707

With MC-707, Roland re-envision the classic format of groove production stations and make it more powerful than ever before. The machine contains everything one might need to create a fully produced track or to perform a live set. MC-707 sports eight tracks—all equipped with the ZEN-Core sound engine that can be used for anything from punchy drum sounds to ethereal pads, groovy basslines, or blazing leads. Additionally, you’ll find a large selection of effects that can be applied to individual tracks, as well as to Master track. In fact, right out of the box MC-707 comes filled with over 3000 synthesizer sounds and 80 drum kits that include samples of some of the most loved vintage drum machines from Roland, like the TR-808, 909, and 707. Up to 16 clips of 64-step sequences can be created on each track allowing for fast and intuitive groove creation.

With all of that in place, you are by no means limited to the sounds the machine comes with, as you can freely load your own samples or even record sounds directly via the ¼” inputs. Also, the internal sequencer can easily be used to control external synths and drum machines, adding even more layers to your production while keeping everything in perfect sync.
