Roland groovebox MC-707

Adopt a new groove
The GROOVEBOX MC-707 has everything you need to create songs or play concerts without a computer. It offers eight recording tracks, a sequencer, synthesizers and effects, plus a carefully chosen palette of sounds, loops and phrases. You can record in audio and MIDI, with precise control of the timing, and manipulate its sliders and buttons in real time. With such potential, you will be ready to produce titles in any style or create your own.

Mega micro composer.
This modern GROVEBOX has a lot of punch in a unique case. It allows many fine adjustments, but remains fun and intuitive, always ready to create new music. Compose from a collection of sounds, rhythms and phrases carefully established by renowned artists and sound designers. You get a real musical playground in which you can freely combine individual loops and sounds with melodies, including your own audio recordings and MIDI sequences. Record and trigger clips, rearrange, resample, record automations, and get huge sound with track and global effects.

Eight tracks of sequences per clip.
The MC-707's eight-track sequencer is optimized for the smooth production of current electronic titles, with all existing and future subgenres. The TR-REC step sequencer is the same as that of classic Roland rhythm machines, ideal for quickly building rhythms. You also have 16 ultra-sensitive pads for playing or sequencing drum parts, bass lines or chord progressions. Sequencer clips can even record your button rotations along with note data. You can thus create punctual sound movements such as a large Reverb on a flap or slow filter movements.

An in-depth synthesis.
The MC-707 incorporates our latest sound generator, which combines virtual analog and modern PCM. It is versatile, powerful and allows you to explore many sound possibilities. It incorporates the sounds of the legendary Roland drum machines and synthesizers, which laid the foundations for electronic music: TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, JUNO-106 and SH-101. But the MC-707 is also looking to the future thanks to its modern digital and hybrid sounds that will allow you to create the classics of the future today.

Record, sample, modify and refine.
In addition to the powerful synthesis of its sound generator, the MC-707 integrates a powerful sampler with recording on the fly synchronized to the tempo of your project. You can record vocal or instrumental parts, or import your own library, then sequence or trigger phrases, punctual sounds and loops. You can also modify your samples by cutting or inverting them, with the precision and immediacy allowed by physical controllers.

Studio quality effects.
Thanks to the MC-707's wide range of effects, your music will sound like it comes from a professional multitrack studio. Each of the eight tracks has an independent effects processor with many variations. A sumptuous Chorus gives depth to the pads and other synth sounds. The Delays and Reverbs simulate sound spaces and add movement to delicate sequences. Overdrive, distortion and amp simulations inject character and intensity to synths, guitars, drums ... You can even send your global mix in Master effects such as filters, Bit-Crushers, as well as a bus Master of compression which will link the whole with punch and clarity.

Handle real buttons.
With its physical controllers, the MC-707 lets you create music organically. The sliders on each track let you instantly mix and arrange the parts, and the buttons can be freely assigned to the parameters that seem most appropriate for a given sound. You can even record button movements, which will then be played automatically. And the 2x8 pad series isn't just for playing the drums. It can be used to record melodies and chords with velocities, and to trigger audio and MIDI clips.

Connection with a computer.
Thanks to its advanced USB audio interface functions, the MC-707 easily integrates into your production configuration. You can record your 8 tracks on individual tracks of music software and finish your composition there. You can also sample sounds from your software to retrieve playback tracks, stems or sounds from your favorite software synths and use them during your next concert.

Add new sounds, loops, or phrases.
The MC-707 is an expandable platform that will never be obsolete. Online, you will always find new loops and phrases, new sound effects and synth sounds.
