Vanderson plays - Shamen "Indica" - cover on Roland MC-707

video upload by ॐ Vanderson ॐ

"Yesterday, Saturday evening, I reached for my favorite album by Shamen - Hempton Manor. One of the great songs on it, is of course "Indica". I decided to have some fun and create a cover of this track using only the Roland MC-707 (not for the first time, because many years ago on YT I posted a short recording using only the Roland MC-808).
This time I approached it in more detail. Of course, it was difficult to convey this characteristic atmosphere of the mid-90s. But something came out of it :)
The whole thing was recorded by ear - I used only one sample from the original (the characteristic click) that accompanies the recording from the very beginning."

Bad Gear - The Last Real MC

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland MC-505 Groovebox. Is this late 90s all-in-one dance music solution, successor to the Roland MC-303, the last real MC or is it yet another rave music cheese machine? Can it hold up with successors like the Roland MC-707 ???"

Roland AIRA Version 1.8 Firmware Update for MC-707, MC-101, and VERSELAB MV-1

video upload by RolandChannel

"Version 1.8 update for the MC-707 GROOVEBOX, MC-101 GROOVEBOX, and VERSELAB MV-1 adds a host of requested features to your instrument. In this video, Zeale walks through the new enhancements for each instrument as well as how to import clips and new Production Packs.

New functions include undo/redo plus clip import, export, and save. Clip compatibility between the MC-707, MC-101, and VERSELAB MV-1 means you can load clips straight from an SD card, then save and share between units or with other MC and VERSELAB users. There are also three brand-new MFX to embellish your sound—Exciter, Phonograph, and JD Multi—as well as support for pitch bend, hold, and other MIDI CC recording options.

Expand your sound and clip library with new MC/MV Production Packs. These top-shelf collections of clips and sample-based tones designed by Wave Alchemy will expand your sound library or jump-start new ideas for songs. Each Production Pack contains 48 custom tones, 50-plus drum one-shots, 16 kits, and 64 clips—with clips organized in groups of four for building 16 custom scenes.

If you’re an MC-707 GROOVEBOX owner, you can now set the key and scale of your project. And there’s a multitrack mode for Pad Note.

If you’re an MC-101 GROOVEBOX owner, you’ll find a game-changing partial editor for creating compelling tones directly from your MC-101. Plus, you can set the key and scale of each of your projects.

If you’re a VERSELAB MV-1 owner, this update includes a powerful random tone designer for quickly creating interesting sounds from a variety of algorithms. The update also adds another much-requested feature: vocal take panning.

And that’s not all. Find more under the hood when you download the Version 1.8 update.

Generative music algorithm plays Roland MC-707

video upload by Richard Horsman

"This new algorithm generates midi note, volume and controller data on 8 channels, one for each Roland MC-707 track. Note events occur when circles traverse the 3 horizontal lines. Volume changes occur when circles are destroyed in the black hole. Controller data and additional note events are generated by tracking the last notes played on some of the channels. Every aspect of the algorithm is probabilistic.

Designed and coded by Tony Horsman (my Dad)"

And one from Sep 12, 2021:

MidiPathFollower - An experiment in generative music creation (MC-101 and Eurorack)


"The artwork that I'm currently working on takes your eyes on a journey. My Dad suggested that the journey be travelled by a 'playhead' that makes sound/music when it hits 'notes'. This is the outcome. As always, it's a work in progress. Playheads work their way around a path/map, making decisions in real time as to which way to turn. When all notes have been reached a new map is drawn. The code that I wrote in Processing is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 720x720 Hyperpixel Square LCD attached. It's generating the visuals and the MIDI data that's being sent to my Roland MC-101 for the guitar sounds then on to some effects in my modular rack."

"Don’t confuse me babe
You know this ain’t my speed
I was staring in the mirror
And something took a hold of me
I know you live an interesting life
You worship at the altar underneath the city lights
Just keep it moving
Just keep your cool
Tell me why you always run away the minute I come through
Just keep it moving
Just keep your cool
I had the strangest dream of what could be
and nothing else will do

Roland MC-101 & MC-707 GROOVEBOX v1.7 Update: Scene Chain, Audio Insert Enhancements, and more

video by RolandChannel

"Dig into Version 1.7 for the Roland MC-707 and MC-101 and take your creativity to the next level with the latest GROOVEBOX features and enhancements.

Now it’s easy to create tracks in a more traditional song structure. The new Scene Chain feature can automate the groove and free your focus for other aspects of your performance. Chain Scenes sequentially and set playback length for evolving arrangements, or turn off the chain on a Scene to vamp or transition to new ideas.

The Audio Insert function is fantastic for live applications, turning the MC-101 or MC-707 into a performance mixer for routing external audio into the various effects. V1.7’s updated Audio Insert functionality now allows routing of internal tracks one into the next, creating opportunities to stack MFX for intricate, layered effects textures.

Use the upgraded Chord Designer to auto-assign chords chromatically or diatonically within a selected scale, making it easy to apply changes across all your pads.

No matter how you use it, this feature-packed update is sure to help boost your beats and expand your sound.

In this video, Peter Brown introduces you to the new MC GROOVEBOX features in Version 1.7:

Rubber Band Bass // Live looping synth jams: Korg opsix, Sequential Pro 3, Prophet-6, MC-707

video by MR TUNA Music

"This one's going to be a little different! Okay maybe not--but we're starting off with some deep stretchy rubber band bass from the Korg opsix and some dark powerful arps from the Sequential Pro 3 SE before we bring in those golden brass pads from the amazing Prophet-6 🎺✨✨✨
After all that there's a high-cryin' sine-y solo lead from the Korg Prologue and some almost inaudible atmosphere from the OB-6 (but that will be more important later)
anyways. it's not without its charm!
