MC 707 / 101 : New Roland Grooveboxes

Thats why I use both. OT adds arp, cc lfo, songmode, a configurable send/return fx, and a proper sampling to the 707. If I had to keep only 2 boxes those are they.

Cool, glad to see they dont just add the zen compatibility and they still add more functions.

how is the pad chord mode on the MC101 ?

Hi all!!
MC 101
Sadly doesnā€™t fix Decay/Release on user wave samples imported to a drum kit/Drum trackā€¦
Very important feature if you want to use your own samples for drum kitsā€¦

Pad chord mode is Okā€¦nice classic pad sounds on this machineā€¦

Really hope they release an arp update. Itā€™d be so fun to use arpeggios on this, it was one of my favorite things on the MC-505.

odd omission for sure.

Great update! Love the addition of the 101 sample editor, the new Envmode for drum tracks making it possible to sustain notes and the rest of the additions.
I am pleasantly suprised with the amount of frequent updates by Roland after having an opposite experience with the System-1 and 8 plug-outs. The MC-101 is quickly becoming one of my favorite and capable grooveboxes.

I havenā€™t updated my 707 yet, but I read it is now possible to send a program change to an external synth upon launching a clip. Thatā€™s great!

Anyone tested this yet? And is it also possible to send banks/sub banks (lsb/msb)? Looks like they ā€œforgotā€ this?

Cinematic jam on the MC-101 using custom samples only. Many possibilities with the latest update :slight_smile:

one of the few beautiful tracks I have head on this machineā€¦Awesome !

Did you load the cinematic samples on 3 looper tracks + the drums ?

That last fw update makes me regret letting go mine but as it was needed to fund a Deluge I dont regret it much for nowā€¦

Thanks a lot man! Really appreciate it :slight_smile:
I have yet to discover/use the looper tracks to be honest.
Since the 1.50 update I am making/building Kit instruments.
Please check out this video+description which I hope will explain what I did on the above jam. Cheers!
