UTILIZATION

Get started fast trs
Conviviality of the machine, s'clate REALLY!
Entire machine is a hand, I used it alone!
Midi also very easy to ACCS!

The tt in a manual is not exhaustive but very practical and I vs franais please!

SOUNDS

Varis rather, they are really suitable for any style of music! (More testing hip hop, techno, metal, ...)
In addition, the Roland sounds, a personal point of view, are also suitable for trs big sound. I used it mainly for the hardcore ...

OVERALL OPINION

Trs-friendly machine in the sense that once it is programmed tt simply takes his foot playing and touching live normment function.

Having tried a roland 505, 303, yamaha rm1x, year 2000 ,.... are other machines of the same type. I think it's a condensed qq so the MC505 stroke even more function to format Reduces.
I therefore advise anyone wishing to make an investment for beginners in the world of electro musik without having much knowledge Musikal.

So I t convinced by the MC307, but I devote myself to sell the musik informatik avc addition of MIDI controller, which gives me more gde pallet of possibilities to express my imagination.

The connection is sufficient for the job ...
The sounds are using (DJing, tekno, lctro ...)
The effects are sufficient to use live, the effect processors are effective. A good place for the function GRAB.
The sequencer is complete: it allows you to enter notes by intermdiaire an external keyboard or by that of the MC307) and can quickly Faie an instrument. We can edit the vnement prs to refine the work (what Roland squenceur ...).

UTILIZATION

The configuration is complte. It is not simple: browse the job rgulirement mde before his back.
The only ngatif when flying time is rel-mute function I prfre the RM1x for a, it allows to mute a track in a single manipulation. Alternatively, you can work around this default by the use of PHI.
The highlight is that the keyboard can be used as well call patterns (PATTERN SET), have APRS assign it to those keys. Say to reproduction LIVE plenty to do !!!!!
By the way, I think it's a good machine trs. It has something complter a LIVE performance by a DJ instrumentals personal synthse engine, offers the know-how Roland, who adj proven, and the sequencer. We can discuss the ergonomics of the MC307 rapprt by that of the MC505 or MC303 or RM1x. Some say it is less than the MC505 LIVE (or other): I can tell you that with this machine you can do the same thing with a MC505. Y amme I know some who do nothing but move randomly on their faders MC505 without knowing what they do "synthetic" speaking.

SOUNDS

Music electro, HipHop, Tekno, D & B, etc. ....

Suffisment ...
Sounds snths sounds effective, there are few acoustic instruments (piano for example) in an instrument well s'intgrent acidjazz example ..

OVERALL OPINION

Good capacity of the sequencer, enough to take in the breath audioire for hours and hours ...
RM1x, XL7, MC303, MC505 ....
Trs good rpport Q / P. ..

Connectors: MIDI IN and OUT, AUDIO OUT L (MONO) + R, a pedal input and a headphone jack
There are so many sounds in various styles, they are classified by family (bass, synth, pad, keys & org, brass, etc ...) and are fully editable. The kits include all the rhythmic legendary drum machines of the brand such as ROLAND TR-909, TR808 and TR-606. There is a freeware to edit the sounds and rhythm kits from a PC (see section Tips). There are 25 effects plus 2 effects (reverb and delay) "master".
Ultra intuitive sequencer (7 parts + 1 part rhythm itself composed of 8 parts + 1 part to save the commands such as mute or tempo) with two recording modes and RealTime TR-REC-REC.

The rating for the feature is only 9 / 10 because it lacks in my opinion one or two additional audio outputs.

UTILIZATION

This is my first machine "its" and I got my first call patterns without consulting the manual. The general configuration is available to control other machines you need to know the basics of MIDI protocol, but after it's childish.

The manual is clear and covers all the functions of the machine. It lacks a few tips (see section Tips). The index at the end of the manual can quickly find the desired information. The manual is illustrated with concrete examples to explain the basics of the generation and control of sounds.

SOUNDS

The sounds of the machine are not at all realistic, it sounds synthetic . The expression is good, velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. They are suitable to the style of my productions, electro / techno. The effects are not all effective. I uses only three (EQ, Compressor and ISOLATOR after is a matter of taste) and mainly on the rhythm part. I love tweaking patches, there are so many possibilities with four layers independently configurable patch.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this machine for 2 years, what I like most is:
- GRAB the order to balance the effects
- The 4 assignable fader on the screen to fiddle with the sounds, effects and the arpeggiator
- How the fader "turntable" to drive the BPM and pitch (you can calibrate the tempo with another sound source)
- The "pattern call", it allows you to assign patterns to the pads (to live)

The value for money is interesting for a used machine at around 300 euros. This choice I would do without hesitation and I recommend this machine for several reasons:
- The possibility to compose songs with this one machine (the essence groovebox)
- Variety of sounds
- Handling ultra intuitive
- Purpose of the machine live
