Roland MC-707 Groovebox Standalone 8-Track Production Powerhouse for Beatmaking, Live Performance
The Roland MC-707 GROOVEBOX delivers everything you need to create complete songs or deliver high-energy live sets without ever touching a computer. Packed with eight tracks of clip-based sequencing, powerful synthesizers, onboard sampling, and studio-grade effects, this modern groovebox combines deep customization with intuitive, hands-on control. Dive into a massive curated library of over 3,000 preset tones and 80+ drum kits, all powered by Roland's acclaimed ZEN-Core synthesis system that faithfully recreates legendary sounds from the TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, JUNO-106, SH-101, and more.
Build your tracks using the classic TR-REC step sequencer with up to 128 steps, trigger clips and melodies with 16 ultra-sensitive pads, and capture everything in real time with deep timing control for audio and MIDI. Record your own loops via the looper with time stretch and pitch shift, import custom samples from an SD card, and shape your sound with per-track multi-effects, EQ, chorus/delay, reverb, plus master effects and compression. Whether you're producing electronic music, performing live, or experimenting with new ideas, the MC-707 offers fluid workflow, scene chaining, automation recording, and that instant "in-the-moment" creative experience.
Compact yet incredibly powerful, the MC-707 features a backlit graphic LCD, assignable knobs and faders for tactile mixing, and seamless USB audio/MIDI integration for optional DAW expansion. Expand your sonic palette with user samples and Roland Cloud content while enjoying reliable standalone operation powered by the included AC adaptor. Perfect for producers, beatmakers, and performers who demand professional results in a portable, all-in-one instrument.
