WHOA THANKS FOR WATCHING! Here's a link to the MC707 BOOT CAMP playlist! (I will be adding more episodes to it as I create them!) ua-cam.com/play/PLQvVnhG7o2yROeK4Muj4CGv3fTX5Z6iMV.html&si=d7U1N2qXBSnba3oA
Hey Ron, thanks for all of this work! The Roland manual is so bad, without videos like this I'd be a bit lost. One thing I am still yet to figure out, and can't find any demos showing how, is scales. There seems to be a project scale and key, and then a track scale, and then also I think tone scales. I have no idea how all that works, certainly not how I'd expect. Like a project scale seems to have no effect on any tone track. Do you cover scales in any of your videos ❤
@@RonCavagnaro haha, well if I figure it out I'll share the knowledge somewhere appropriate in the comments 😂. The Roland manual mentions the word "scale" exactly once. Maybe they don't know how it works either.
I thought I could hold my own on the MC-707, but you showed me there's still a ton to learn. I can keep going back to this to expand my knowledge. Love the Boards of Canada vibes to the sounds you create. Thank you for the fantastic tutorial!
I thought I'd seen it all... But in the right hands, this instrument keeps amazing me! So inspirational! Thank you for the upload. The first half with the explanation was already gold. The second half is mind-blowing. Looking forward to more of this combo videos! 🤯😍
That is a very fascinating tutorial, I've never seen anyone produce an experimental track like that before, it's usually a generic and predictive scenario. You've done something very leftfield and interesting... Spendid work.. And subscribed.
Thank you so much Ron! My 707 has been asleep. Your tutorials remind me why I choose to include it in my studio. So looking forward to getting back into it again. Cheers!🙏🖤
Nice! There’s always something new to learn with the 707 and getting inspiration from watching different workflows and creativity is one of the best ways of finding these nuggets. Thank you for taking the time to play and post. ❤
Wow! I have been owning an MC707 for like 3 years and recently haven’t used it much but this tutorial is so good, there are still things in it that I didn’t know. I’ll probably use the 707 more after watching this!
MC 707 has the most smooth and non-button guessing workflow ever. This machine is greatly sophisticated and it seems that the guys behind it's development put a huge efford to make everything seem at the right spot\place.
You can clear the motion with motion on+ turn knob. Also you dont need to activate motion rec in order to record motion. You can just turn a knob while you press motion rec.
@RonCavagnaro the motionrec+knob is so much more useful that I don't even see it as a shortcut anymore. It's the only way y record motion. Also if you dont do this you risk forgetting that you engaged motion rec in the first place. It's like the project saving shortcuts etc. You will never go back to the regular way of saving once you've used the machine after a while.
@@ionianechoes yes agreed it is how deluge clear motion works as well:) i will go in depth on all these things later just wanted to get this basics video up first
@RonCavagnaro nice. Hope it is a fun and successful tutorial series. The machine is still lacking a bit of love from roland but still a very good sounding and great and useful concept.
Thank you for the clip! Very helpful. Do you know how to get a drone sound without accentuating the first step? I try setting the step length to, say, 128, but when I play with the cutoff, it still doesn't sound good sometimes.
@@RonCavagnaro Thanks! However, the problem remains that when I adjust the cutoff control, the sound drops after about 1-2 seconds and becomes quieter after I stop turning the cutoff control. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
@@atomfaust oh i see what you mean that's note length and sustain has to be enabled on instrument. I was going to get into that in next video but you can hold note on the step and change note length

@@bloopbleepnothinghere sorry i haven't ever got into scales, i just use chromatic. But if i ever do I'll do more

You have completely renewed my interest in the mc707! Thank you!!!
awesome! Just stumbled on your MC707 videos because I just got back into mine. Definitely a gem of a groovebox tbh.
Thank you so much Ron! My 707 has been asleep. Your tutorials remind me why I choose to include it in my studio. So looking forward to getting back into it again. Cheers!🙏🖤
Amazing
Thanks a lot! Superb Part 1. You’re a good teacher. Can’t wait for what else you will show us. Great video
Here we go! Great response to your recent polls. There’s still plenty gold to found in the 707. Thanks

Very Exciting, I have been away from the machine for a while and I needed a refresher. This seems to be excellent 👍 thanks 🙏 ❤
You made a very good tutorial I've had my 707 for awhile... you make tweaking and adjusting sound seem easy... following you buddy!
This is an absolutely great and never seen before Tutorial. Thanks and keep on going!
Thank you! Oh believe me i will keep going!
Nice video. Keep ‘em coming.
Thank youuuu!
Wow. Great video. You really showcased some cool stuff I hadn't tried before even as a long time 707 user.
I did not know about real time transpose, thanks for that!

I just bought one. This really helps me get started. Just as powerful as I'd hoped it would be. thanks!
I hate that I've been watching all of these and I dont even own a 707. I guess I need to start saving up now.
Its a great gear! If youre ok w limitations theres mc101 as well!
Yes!!!!
Woooo!
thank you. this was very helpful
Now I want one

Maybe you get mc101 akiss
for this great tutorial!
Thank you for the great comment and for watching! More soon!
Thanks so much for this great tutorial series
Thank you for the supportive comment!!!
Im gonna have to dust mine off and get back into it!
HECK YA!
You can clear the motion with motion on+ turn knob.
Also you dont need to activate motion rec in order to record motion. You can just turn a knob while you press motion rec.
Yes i illustrated that later in the video but didnt say it. I wanted to save a lot of the shortcuts for later episodes
@RonCavagnaro the motionrec+knob is so much more useful that I don't even see it as a shortcut anymore. It's the only way y record motion. Also if you dont do this you risk forgetting that you engaged motion rec in the first place.

@@ionianechoes i appreciate your input! :) so fun, and if you have more tips ill check into it!
mc707 has better content form youtubers compared to the haphazard roland videos, great synth sounds
Thank you for the clip! Very helpful. Do you know how to get a drone sound without accentuating the first step? I try setting the step length to, say, 128, but when I play with the cutoff, it still doesn't sound good sometimes.
Go to filter and turn envelope down to zero, perhaps?
@@RonCavagnaro Where can I find the settings again? There's too much material at once to remember everything. Thanks! 😎
@@gorogne shift sound, arrow to filt see if filt env is zero. Hopefully that can help!
@@RonCavagnaro Thanks! However, the problem remains that when I adjust the cutoff control, the sound drops after about 1-2 seconds and becomes quieter after I stop turning the cutoff control. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
@@gorogne ok go to amp. Make sure youre looking at adsr and turn sustain up to max
When I try to use a pad it cut short when the next pad starts. What am in doing wrong?
What do you mean by "use a pad "? Playing note? step pads? "When the next pad starts"? What context maybe i can help once i have details
When I program a piano sound but want it to hold for awhile and it just cuts off when the next note plays in the sequence.
@@atomfaust oh i see what you mean that's note length and sustain has to be enabled on instrument. I was going to get into that in next video but you can hold note on the step and change note length

Heheh wooo
