    That auto sampling feature AKAI have is brilliant. Its like samplerobot, I love to see this a standard feature across the hardware groove box sampler things.

    NAMM is soon, might be worth waiting to see if something pops up there. The elektron model samples price has been slashed in Europe. Not sure if that means anything but the store has high stocks...

    Speaking of NAMM...
    I think Akai might announce the next MPC Live. I have been looking for one here in Japan and they are no longer available in stores or with online retailers. One shop in particular usually only lists discontinued items as Sold Out, and the MPC Live is listed this way.

    It might just be that Akai are out of stock and need to make more, but they way they have disappeared from Amazon Japan, etc, has me wondering if something new is around the corner?

    GAS is strong in me this time of year as I usually have a “free pass” with Ms. Claus to pick up something new, but might try and hold off until early next year to see what is announced.

    Interesting! By the way i loved my time in Japan. I almost lived there permanently.

    Yeah, it’s hard to leave... (realizing I have been here 24 years).

    Where were you when you were here?

    2010 for 4 weeks was the last time, I pretty much travelled around the south from Tokyo using the JR pass. I really like Mt koya san. I speak basic Japanese which really helped me meet people who became my guides. Hard to explain but i felt at ease there but of course I have no idea how it would be to work there. I was working on living in Tokyo but i met someone in another country and the opportunity was missed. I regret that actually.

    Tarekith were you able to track down the cause of the 'steps reverting' issue?

    You mean the measures disappearing? Looks like its fixed in the new update, but I'll post again if I see it inthe future.

  • Long time silence over here.......I'm curious how the MC-707 owners think about it after the 1.30 firmware update.

  • I still have GAS for its little brother the MC-101 :)

    If they add 'Velocity to Sample Start' for user samples it will be just what the doctor ordered :)

    There's so much potential in the little box but it's limited in the ways of editing the sounds.
    (Then again I would go nuts editing on a small screen anyway so a computer editor/librarian is a must).

    So far I've managed to stay away from spending too much money on hardware...

    Agree! Also a record count-in would be nice in the next firmware update. And a possibility to connect it to a iPad via the CCK would be nice too, so we can record 8 channels onto AUM. That would be perfect.

    That would indeed make re-consider getting the MC-101 just as a 'sound module' :)
    (The best option would be the MC-101 as a multi-out AUv3 but Rodland would never do something like that).

    Why would Roland never do something like that?

  • Since neither of those were part of the 1.30 update for the mc707 which is already out I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing those in 1.30 for the 101.

    You think they will be in a future update of the MC-707?

    The point is that I own the MC-707 for 2 days now, but I miss the count-in before record. Also the midi implentation could use some love. For the rest i'm quite happy with it.

    I am wondering if Roland will give future support to the MC-707. I'm still in the return period, that's why all those questions.

    so basically is it the case that you can have as large an sd card full of samples as you want accessed by the MC-707 but you just only have 12 min of sample time per project... but your storage unlike the digitakt is unlimited?

    Maybe it's because I grew up with samplers like AKAI S1000 etc., but why would anyone need more sample time than that? People have made albums that are shorter than that.. :o

    LOL!

  • Nobody has any idea what Roland will do going forward, they don’t announce things in advance.

  • Hoped for some 'insider' information :)

  • NDAs usually prevent that unfortunately :)

  • I’m still digging mine...And, with each update it keeps getting better.

    I think there is room for 1 more year of support, 2 years tops. In that time we might see 2-3 updates. Don‘t expect here will be support for the zen family in 5 or 10 years, that is not how Roland does business.

    Count-in when recording could be implemented but as a workaround how about you take another device and let it play for 1 or 2 measures at the same tempo. Then you press record manually.
    Or loop record and you use the last measure as a count-in.

    Sounds good to me......2-3 updates can be enough to lift it up

    Have you guys seen this? Using IOS screen recording, Koala (to edit), and Audioshare to transfer samples from Youtube to the MC-101.

    thanks for the tip Coolout, does it work for both mono and stereo?

    I don't have a MC-101 yet (any day now), so I'm not sure. I assume it would work with both. Most of the modern Roland devices support both.

    iOS 12 screen recording is mono, iOS 13 is stereo, so on 13 it'll record whatever you hear.

    Man, what a creativity-killing procedure!
    Can't the MC-101 sample?

    Love the shortcut script though 😃

    thanks coolout

    @rs2000 maybe a little longwinded but when you're out and about and get some prepwork done could be nice.

  • So there's a Windows driver (ASIO) that allows streaming all 4 stereo tracks + mix from the MC-101 to the computer directly over USB. Plus MIDI-over-USB. But the MC-101 has no audio inputs, unlike the MC-707, which can record from its EXT IN directly to the computer over USB.

    Too bad it's not class-compliant audio. I believe it is class-compliant Midi though (?)
