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

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2024
- 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.

This is an amazing update and the kind of thing that will keep me coming back as a customer. Taking already great products and enhancing them throughout their life cycle.
I’ve had the 101 since it came out, and I don’t know how to use it. I’ve watched a bunch of videos, but I can’t follow what they’re doing in the instructions. They go too fast and go off on tangents.
@@colinreese Ben Coe, gabe Miller and teabreakbeats are your friends
@Colin Reese I went through the same thing with my verselab but after many tries of just playing with pads/knobs and watching some TH-cam videos, I slowly started to get it and now I pretty much know all there is to know about it. Hope you didn't give up cuz I think you will like it once you start getting more familiar with it.
The MC 101 is the winner of this update
Chalk and cheese comparison, both units are for different purposes.
I love my MC101... and now with this update, it solidifies the MC101 as the ultimate battery powered portable groovebox. Thanks Roland!
That is awesome how that now with this update, it solidifies the MC101 as the ultimate battery powered portable groovebox. I will thank Roland every single day from here on out.
I got a MC707 & I'm jealous of much the MC101 leveled up compared to the other 2 devices. Great job Roland. First the TR-8S now this - Roland is on a roll!!!
Sorry, I should first say, Thank you Roland, for showing the MC101/707/MV1 love, you still have dedicated users!
Glad you're enjoying the update!
Thanks so much Roland, for continuing to support the EXCELLENT MC-707 (and these other cool instruments as well).
Don't thank Roland thank the chip shortage 😏
the partial editor is a gamechanger
FINALLY undo! But also my MC-101 now has deep synth sound editing via the partials edit update. Fantastic! The MC-101 was getting less practical/useful in today's hardware / software workflows but this strongly rejuvenates it.
Well done. Thank you for continuing to listen to the community.
Lucky you, they haven’t listened to a word from Fantom users in terms of workflow. Flagship synth has less functions than the other products which beggars belief.
Absolutely love the MC-101 and it's prompted me to buy both an SP-404 mk2 and now I've ordered an MV-1!
I would absolutely love it if the MV was also given a tone editor please! It's really great to see continued support of these already stellar instruments!
The mv1 has its own Zenbeats Editor for iPad and pc/mac. Just got mine back and updated the firmware and going crazy with the mixer and arrangement view on iPad. I thought I was going to be able to pair it up with my sp404 mkii and I’m pretty sure all the efx are in the mv1 aside from vinyl and cassette sims and some others are in Zenbeat editor . Eep. Rolling with Roland atm
Yooo the partial tone editor update was needed for the mc101, about to update now
Owner of a 707 here. I think Roland understood that deliberately putting limitations on the small version of a device will kill its sales. Can't wait to buy the 101 now!
The 101 is definitely the best bang for your buck. I'm really regretting giving mine to my daughter, now. Lol
This is amazing. I will get a 707 now
Just ordered one yesterday....upgrading from a MC-808!
I can’t wait to pick back up my MC-101 again !!!! Roland keep on doing us solids, and we’ll keep coming back!
Wow! Added options of serious sound design changed this device dramatically. Excellent update!
Wooooow, this is huge improvement for the mc-101!! I was close to sell mine for a novation circuit track, but now i will keep it for sure
This is what you customers needed! Thank you Roland.
A great update across the board.. Great job. Very much looking forward to tone editing on the MV-1 in some future update
Sold My V 1 but still no sampler update so not really interested in this but glad a lot of you are happy with the update. My thing is the sampler once they fixed I will buy another
Thank you SO MUCH! I'm used to software houses not listening to users at all, but here with Roland - superb!
That is perfect!! now the 101 really shines as a Synth! so nothing more suitable than a Software Editor next 🙂
Just Bought the MC-707! Thanks Roland for these amazing updates. I really hope side chain will be possible one day!
The people wanted it. Dare-I-say, Roland already had it on the way.
We should let our requests be made know to these companies without being meanies. :)
"CC messages record from external midi devices" Big thanks Roland Company for including this in the new update 🎧
Thank you for the Verselab update.
Thank you Roland! I appreciate the continuous updates - one of the reasons I buy your products
Great to hear! Enjoy the update.
Thank you Roland!! Great update for the 707! Cannot wait to download and try today
Hell yeah! I was hoping that the MC and MV boxes would get big updates since the TR boxes got their updates. It's been almost a year since the MV-1 got an update. I was starting to think y'all stopped supporting it. Thanks!
Awesome update and well worth the wait
Roland Thanks!Nice just bought 707 week ago and just was thinking about undo function ..and now in this update they introduced it!great
Thanks Roland...this is one of the reasons I buy Roland music making stuff...love the new update. Will be updating soon thanks 👍
Haven't updated yet but I can't wait to dive into clip saving and loading. I like coming up with different patterns but I'm not always committed to making an entire song out of the project. The clip saver I think will let me handle a bunch of workflow issues. Thank you Roland!!!!!!!!! We just need another sample slicing mode - the grid chop (chop equally by 4-8-16-32-64) parts of the sample/loop.
This is a very welcome step, thank you, I own 707 and MV1; so monitoring
Great update! Thanks Roland 👍
Thank you Roland for adding new features and updating the MC707, makes me a happy customer :D...no more time to talk, time to update the MC707!!!1 THX
Just got a 707 today and auper stoked on the updates and using °~•○☆☆
Really hope you are able to include tone editing in the MV-1 in the future too, but glad to see things being added!!
It seems to be there is a new management on Roland, this is what have users waiting for, for so long! TX!
Oh damn - can't wait to check this out and make a video!
First of all thanks for the update! There is still one very important thing that would be very useful to MC707 users, especially using the device in a professional way: The possibility to mute tracks 1-8 but not the send FX on the master when using multitrack recording via USB in the DAW. This way the master track could be used to record the wet FX only (This is possible on the Elektron Digitakt/Syntakt for example). Right now, you can only record the tracks without Master Effects which is a pity or the whole Master without having the opportunity to process tracks seperately. It would be very nice if this suggestion is forwarded in case we can hope for another update. I have read from some users on youtube, social media and forums who were wondering about this. Thanks and have a nice day.
I could not agree more with this comment. The ability to multitrack record with fx intact would be a huge improvement and you would imagine, not so hard to implement!
daaamn , thanks for that random tone generator !! for me, the randomizer is a very important utility. thanks a lot
thanks you roland my mc101 loves updates like thisssssss
Ah! At last some positive news. The MC-707 is your best product. If only it could load some Juno and Jupiter engines.
yeah the 707/101 were originally marketed as Zen-core products same as the jupiter X/Xm, but now they seem to be floating between Aira and Zen-core, which is a little confusing and not seeming hopeful for any modeling engines to ever get added :/
@@VacancyOfDisco I think in theory it should be possible as I read somewhere that the model engines are mostly a parameter mapping scheme.
Great to see the updates coming! I got really excited thinking the sample management and sample time would be improved, especially the sample loop time which is the sticking point for me. Hopefully in the next update then I can buy a 707! Add a nice little side chain and I will be very happy to part with my money! 🤞🤞🤞
The Novation Circuit tracks does side chain x
@@thelibrarian3734 Thanks for the info!
This is incredible
You had me at undo!
Me too bud 👍
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
Awesome 👏
Makes me wanna get mc-101 even more
Good gracious! Thank you for showing me how to load into an MV-1 as it explains why I really don't want one as that looks like a total PITA -- Never mind -- I continued to watch the video and apparently its just as complicated across the board with all Roland products and this update. Whoa!
Thank you for the update of MC101. I love J6 and E4 too, and am about to post a video of bugs in J6, hope we can get some love there too.
Glad you like the update! You can reach our product support staff and leave feedback over on Roland Backstage: www.roland.com/backstage/
Thanks!!
Thanks Roland! 😊
Awesome! 👍🥰
Loved the 1.8 update and everything about it for the MV-1 Verse lab, but this update removed the ability to browse drum kits from the note mode and audition them before loading them. With 1.8 I would have to go to select section mode then browse kits that could not be auditioned, load a kit then go to note mode in order to audition and if wanted to use a different kit I would have to stat the process all over again. Needless to say I went back to 1.4 update because to me 1.8 was a workflow deal breaker. I hope this can be in the next update or as a bug fix.
I have a MV1. This update is a step in the right direction but Ive reverted back to 1.4. This is because the kit sounds on my SDZ files now wont play, and, you can no longer audition kits in the note view which really slows down the kit selection process and makes it really laborious.
FANTASTIC! Thank you! one tweak perhaps, in the multitrack mode, if you change the note from C4 to anything else via step edit, you lose the step indication light. Can this be adjusted to remain on? it would make programing melodic hits, tuning kick drums, etc easier without having to jump in and out of multitrack mode
Well, some progress, but still not the game changer we expect.
1. diskstreaming!
2. step sound preview
3. make full use of all the 24 knobs for a specific track (MC-707) !!!
4. we need a lota more clips in a single project, 16 per track is ok but way less adequent from a complex set.
great suggestions! i've been thinking about the 24 knobs thing too. or better yet being able to use all the knobs for what ever track is selected....or even global edit for all tracks (adjusting all the reverb sends, decay lengths, pitches, etc with a single knob like on Elektron Digitakt and the like)
Please make #3 happen @RolandChannel
Roland is on a roll
YES
Can we please have the tone editor also on the MV-1? That’ll be great!
CLUTCH!!
Great Update for Mc-101!! In my library of Roland Cloud do not exist the mcz files... only sdz files
Thank you so much Roland! Please do something with sample stretch or loop mode pleaseeee
Thanks! That's a great update especially for those who have 2 or more of these 3. As someone who got a MC-101 and a MV-1, I absolutely appreciate the new clip exchange feature.
One request though, could you add trigger conditions to the MV-1? E.g. the possibility to have notes trigger only during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th time a section plays and/or only during odd or even times (1st, 3rd, 5th or 2nd, 4th, 6th)? It should only affect the consecutive play of a section and not the overall count in a song.
Hey I've been looking into getting a 101 or a verselab but can decide which. I have a tr6s at the moment which would pair nicely with the 101 but i feel like if I got the 101, I might have preferred to have got the verselab instead as a more complete piece of kit. How do you find both instruments compare?
@@corranjames5063 As a short answer, if I had to sell one of them, I'd keep the MV-1.
Looking at the current prices for both (Thomann, for my region) it's €499 vs €599. I think the MV-1 is "more bang for the buck".
7 tracks vs 4 (not counting the vocal track which is somewhat special, but not limited to only vocals)
Of course there are a few things which are better on the MC-101, like scenes. Even if you have the same amount of clips (16 per track) you can combine them freely, while on the MV-1 you have only 16 sections (sections are like scenes, a combination of clips/tracks, but they are fixed in place, if that makes sense)
The MV-1 might render your TR-6s useless. Then again, you could record the TR-6s to the vocal track (if you don't do vocals/use acapellas) and use it that way.
@@Flava_Clown those a great points to consider. Thank you. The price difference in my region is £399 for 101 and £549ish for MV so it's a bit more of a gap but yea. Keep up the tunes !
Looks good. Can we have longer sample time now in the 707 please.
My biggest gripe with the mv-1 is the insanely low volume (if you export mixes). Even using the onboard mastering it is just so low. My biggest gripe with my mc 707 is that you can’t stream record a mix of you jamming… that would next level this device. I do appreciate these updates… hoping more to come!
Really awesome the Partial Editor! Thank you Roland!
I have one question,
If I have made a new patch, how can I Import/save this patch and open in Zenology??
Undo!!! sorted 😎
Did anyone else miss out on grabbing the Production packs? I wish there was a way to get a hold of the others.
I'm still stunted by the 1.3 update. It isn't working. Yeah I should have sent it back. But the circuit board is valuable. WT....???
WOW I was randomly checking if the MC-707 had an update & BAM this video was uploaded 5 mins ago!
I think the MC-101 tone partial editor was the best out of everything.
I was really hoping for sequences longer than 8 bars...Come on #Roland make it happen!
This 8 bar limit is why I can't use the MC-707 as a serious Jam-box...that's what the #Akai Force & the #Squarp Pyramid is for.
With such a powerful synth, what sense does it make to have a short bar limit in a modern sequencer?
It's like dating a beautiful woman with no sex drive🤬🤯
Yep, tone editing on 101 is huge.
yessssss
mc 101 is my favorite synth
i hope you guys make it so the verselab can edit the synth engines on it as well..
Is the partial editor planned to be added to the mv1 in the future? I'm looking to get either a 101 or mv1 but can't quite decide which is best. The new partial inclusion sways me more towards the MC but if it's planned for the MV in the future then I'd probably go with that 🤘
Arigato! Can you please add multirecord function, for example - when you play on midikeyboard one hand and play drum's the other hand, you can't recording it in the same time.
Thanks so much Roland. The MV-1 allready was a great box and this new tone generator just boost inspiration! Only cant get the new Clip import to work..
Hope there's a solution somewhere 😐
Thanks for this! Any chance of a Fm synth engine in the NEXT update Roland?😊
really nice to still have support and updates for my MC707, but PLEAAASE roland the only thing im craving at this point is sidechain
Yes now they added sidechain to Zenbeats finally, please also add to the MC line.
Could the next update include the option to turn the stereo send into individual 2 mono sends? It seems like a missed opportunity having these analog outs not to have this option. Oh and something a bit more ambitious: some kind of macro control of drum tracks, similar to the SYS-control on the tone tracks. For example that you change the decay on the hihats, pitch on the kick, and the filter on the snare, all with one knob. That would he amazing!
Hello! Is there a documentation for all new features? Both Owner's Manual and Reference Manual describe only the old features, and for 1.8 firmware I can find only the videos from different youtubers. How did the people in these videos learned about these new functions?
Thank you Roland! Any chance of getting audio streaming and/or more sample and looper memory as well as scatter recording..... 🔥 💯 #MC707crew #zenology
is there a way to set the note length without rolling the encoder multiple turns...like pressing the step and while holding that step press another step to define how long the note will be. (on the 16 step buttons)...also maybe this goes away from the design philosophy of holding shift to get bigger value increase...but in the case of note length i think 1 step per encoder click without shift is much better...and finer detail with shift+encoder would be more easy to work with. I mean it is nice to be able to set the note length in such detail down to like a millisec ...but that is not something i need most of the time :D
Seems like there are quite some bufixes too and it looks like some of them address the numerous timing issues on the Mc707. I hope this update does really fix the looper sync, scatter timing, ... I'll have to check first because it's not explicitly written as such.
It also introduces new bugs. E.g. clip button does not light up when you push it.
@@mudi2000a true! but just tried out the new FW and I am positively surprised. I seems like the stability has been improved greatly. The mc707 runs as midi slave perfectly now. The looper timing is fine, the scatter too. Also now you can automate looper knobs with the motion designer. And the motion is copied when you copy&paste a clip.
@@ionianechoes cool, need to try it out! I tried to sync with a DAW in the past but I had always timing issues and needed to
move around stuff.
@@mudi2000a previously i had it as midi slave and i needed to delay the clock of the rest of the system by 77% in order to achieve sync. Now it runs perfectly at 0%
How do you assign external controls to the SYS-CNTRL[1-4] on the MC707?
There is still an issue with TIE functionality in step record when using external midi keyboard.😢
OK I’m actually glad to see Roland doing some type of tutorial videos on the product instead of just throwing it out there and then other people have to do it my question is is there a software that works in conjunction with this for a desktop or laptop. Because that little screen to look at is horrible no one’s doing that
🤩ROLAND🤩I AM FULFILLED BECAUSE I HAVE IT (TR-6S/MC-101/MV-1)
Hey Zuli could you please explain WTH a multitrack pad mode does?
Thats nice update, but where is side chain 😢😢
In the next firmware in the tone parameters....Can you please reset all the LFO's and step LFO's when the sequencer start (send a "KEY TRG" to all the LFO's, or reset the all the LFO tables when the sequencer stops) so we can get the same melodies when using the step LFO on pitch every time we hit play (without using the "KEY TRG" parameter in the LFO settings).
also if you get the LFO reset on sequencer start to work, what about a few new modes in "KEY TRIGGER" (in the LFO parameters) maybe call it "STEP" or "NOTE"...advance the STEP LFO one step per triggered note...maybe also a "HOLD" mode that will sample and hold the waveform of the selected LFO until next note trigger. So LFO "KEY TRIGGER" modes would be "OFF", "ON" , "ONE (no loop, LFO only one time)" "STEP (only for advancing the STEP LFO, maybe also with a reset time interval setting like on the TD vdrums)", "HOLD (sample and hold the LFO waveform on each new note trigger)"
We need another update to correct bugs.I can't save my projects,can't open sdz on mv1.
When are we going to get a dedicated MIDI track type where the volume slider can send a CC (default #7 volume). Using a Tone track with the slider all the way down is just kind of dumb. I can’t believe this feature would be that hard to implement, but what’s an MC w/o true sequencing of external gear.
Has the 606 kit been added to the 101/707???
Thank you Roland! This is a great update!
Now, if you could add a similar feature like the Plug Out button for the system 8 to Zenology Pro, so you can directly send a sound to a ZenCore device, THAT would be cool 😎
I still need to to do 30 turns on MC 707 to change high frequency of ANY EQ settings to go from 5000 Hz to 2000Hz , even with using the shift button or pushing the encoder to “speed” things up …20 seconds to change EQ setting , ridiculous…so hard to fix Rolland right?
no preview playback of WAV via USB?? why, Roland, why???
"Also, the preview playback sound of WAV files is no longer output to USB" Seriously??!
For the "undo/redo" function : hiphiphip ....!
Oh shiiii- it’s here. Going to dust off the 707 and play around :)
