All user reviews of 2/5 for the Roland TR-707

Beatbox another era including basic sounds (kick, snare, hit hat, cowboy etc ...) 6 and 8 bit.
Its manufacture is 100% plastic machine fragile and not really built for the road.
We will retain this clunker that its sequencer typed 'TR' for the rest it is downright terrible.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple and does not require a particular expertise. The grip is (in my mind) fairly simple and the manual is more to navigate easily.
Not possible to edit sounds and does not change anything in fact, the base is anyway quite unconvincing.

SOUNDS

And yes this is where everything falls apart. The sound is very bad, 6 and 8 bit stuck with this digital grain away from living models of the 808 or 909. The bellows falls quickly.
No effect and all sounds very flat.
She is saved by a sequencer that gives it a certain groove but it does not last, the illusion of having a BAR interesting does not.
No sound comes to save the plastic box of the time it should have never escape.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a few years ago and sold quickly because despite its sequencer hyper 'groove' you can not say that the TR 707 well take the road today. His blatant lack of presence in a mix actually a BAR quite negligible and far from what can be found today in software or new / harware opportunity to Jomox, MFB, Elektron & co.
Its price today is a joke in poor taste. For me it is not worth more than € 80 and still in perfect condition and for specific uses (disco kitsch, cheesy funk, old 80's range for example), it is to say.
So if you think for one second revolutionize your set by using the TR707 you are likely a great disappointment.

UTILIZATION



SOUNDS

Just to clarify:

the sounds of this machine are all that is most digital! 6 bits for the crash and ride, 8-bit for everything else.
the sequencer and also could not be more digital, such as those of any other TR-X0X and like the TB-303 ("computer controled," it does not mean "analog controled!")

listen to the sounds of this machine ... aliasing is huge on sound and for some well patinated digital noise!

Note that I attribute to the sounds do not reflect my tastes! I love its very medium and punchy! but we must admit, being objective, that sounds BAR ass!

OVERALL OPINION

I think today there is no reason to buy this machine for perhaps the TR sequencer and mixer system, allows a dynamic game in Live Session. acquire this machine depends only on the favorite (which was my case).

Dj said lower!
score of 8 for the number of audio outputs
the rest is blah, except for Teknos!

UTILIZATION

Simple
you Defines the bass drum on a 16 count is 4 (for white until the sixteenth note) by tapping the pad corresponding to the sound and measure, same for the other parts (records patterns of X-loop and not no)
with all of the screen to help you!
spar mixer by mixing the top right (10 soties spares)

SOUNDS

from the bass drum and snare for the rest and tekno ... lg!

OVERALL OPINION

I had a drink in one, I set all parts of our drummer (rock / mtal) above for working at home!
good for the era and teknodes today, but I think it is too CHRE in OCCAZ for what c'tait!
