I think the biggest compliment I can give you is that I clicked this video and immediately fast forwarded to somewhere like 50% because I'm an impatient asshole with attention deficit disorder, got distracted by an "incoming message" bleep and switched to another tab, then started messaging people while all the time bobbing my head to your music. Then when I was done messaging I was like "fucksake this is good, let's check Spotify to see what I'm listening to" and Spotify told me I wasn't listening to Spotify - and then I rediscovered the TH-cam tab with this video :-D Keep up the good work dude :-)
I just wanted to say thank you for such a fantastic set. This video was instrumental in my purchase of the 707 and the shaping of my sound. I feel like the 707 is the machine I've been waiting the past 10 years for. Thank you for the inspiration sir!
It is wonderful for me to find how ahead of the curve you were to have made this on a MC-707 fresh off the press and released it when you did considering that this is my new favourite toy now. It is amazing how these Grooveboxes are not as popular as one would imagine, especially in my country. I've never even heard anyone mention it and I am certain I'm one of the first users here too. I am so happy to hear how other artists use the machine differently from myself. Very cool. Love checking out these live set videos as a very new fellow maker myself. Big respect.
Maybe the best dimostration of a good live set with MC 707, normally typu find guys that try to do live with some nonsense kind of music. This live is very good. Bravo.
Amazing set! I was looking for reviews and bumped into your set, not dissapointed. Your set convinced me more to get it, planning to pair it with a tr8s which I already have.
I have the original MC 303 & the JV 1010 but I'm think of connecting it to the Deluge for the real analogue & using an MPC as the mixer maybe. A few more channels would be nice but I presume MSB LSB PC are easy locate on the device (and other midi controllers). Thinking of getting this due to its portability & sound collection to be honest.
@@tarekith i can't wait until i get my blackbox to pair up with the mc 707. i think with this two machines i am ready for a glory futre on stage. both machines will compensate the missing features of each other.
@@tarekith well for me it's lagging a very important feature: play long drone sample loops and stems. thats what i miss on the mc 707 (and an arp!) but the blackbox will give me the ability to play my stems and loops and feed them in a channel of the 707. Also can the 707 lend me the pads to play the cells on the BB. my only problem is that i can't use the internal fx from the 707 on the BB. maybe there is a trick for that?
This is the best demo I have seen of the mc707. I was starting to wonder if it made sounds I would actually use and if it was possible to make a decent track start to finish.... Turns out it's bloody brilliant. Loved the set, do you have any tracks for DL?
After playing with it for a month I can truly say if you can think of it you can make it. The Groovebox isn't limited. The built in sound engine is HUGE, and the natural sounds of all the typical musical instruments sound incredible.
Very cool set! But what is up with the kicks on the 707? I've noticed it since I got mine that they have no thump...it's the weirdest thing being a Roland box. The TR-8s seems to have a lot more thump to it.
Not sure I really notice something like that to be honest. They definitely have a slightly different vibe when it comes to kicks, but I think both are pretty deep and punchy.
Fuck me I wish I had the understanding you have of the 707! I’m spending the time but finding it hard to follow all your doing. I aspire to your sound sir! Great set 🙏
Practice my man, and the fact I've been doing live sets on grooveboxes since the day the MC505 came out. Keep at it, it'll all click for you one day and then you'll get it :)
How have are you playing the live set, by which i mean this is prior to 1.3 update, so im wondering how you are transitioning between tracks, and how you have constructed and are triggering the tracks, basically how your getting around no song mode.
J Brown each clip in the 707 can have its own instrument and midi notes, so they are more or less self contained. I just launch them manually when I want to bring in new sounds.
All internal mc707 sounds or samples and chop choping em work included:p Also can it be used as a synth slave to a drum machine? Thanks. Im new Forgive me
Well done! You master the 707 very well, young Padwan! Since I got the 707 and have had earlier mc's, electribes and listened to other stations, one just can't argue the soundquality (perhaps the elektrons) and the diversity put into one box which you portray beautifully here Tarekith (or shold I say Morphing Mechanism).. More please :) Very inspiring!
Hey tarekith, I've been skating through 707 vids all night it's 5am and I still haven't found a demo/answer to this question... Can i record loops live without stopping the 707/it's other tracks? All the looper demos I've seen are working from the 707 being in stopped mode/silent.
@@tarekith that's awesome! Although I'm looking for a live set centrepiece at the moment and it just makes things harder. It's a battle between octatrack, deluge and mc707
nice! kinda jealous of those dedicated knobs and faders. do you have any experience with the maschine mk3 and if so, which do you prefer? i'm all in on the maschine but full hardware is inevitable eventually. PS you deserve way more subscribers, great reviews and livesets
Thanks! Yeah, I have an MK3 Maschine as well and did a review of it if you search youtube. Maschine is obviously way more powerful since I can throw the full power of my MBP at sets, but the 707 is laid out better for me and I find it quicker.
Very chill and tight musically I guess you got this thing mastered! Great work. Love to see some new info tutorial on the box as well. Are you still loving it?
Love the deep and tech house vibes here! Being also a groovebox enthusiast, just like you, I also have an Electribe 2, Circuit and Maschine Studio. I was contemplating on getting a Digitakt but when I saw this vid, it made me think of getting this instead. What do you think brother? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you want 8 tracks of sample mangling and real time sampling, and a midi sequencer, then the OT. If you want a drum machine with a dope ass synth inside and a ton of effects, then the MC707. Personally I like the 707 more, but that's not a slight against the OT either.
hey... No disrespect intented... Im sure this dudes a nice guy... BUT when is somebody gonna make an actual BANGA with this machine?? All i see is videos of cats twisting the phazer/flange knobs sliding faders up and down to an already pre-programmed beat wit some atmospheric noize... And then i read the comments and i see posts like "Awsome tune dude" - "Kool live set" - "Amazing"... I dont know what the these guys are smoking but i guess i would try some or maybe not!! ... This machine has full sound design, drum programmimg, sampling/wave edit & resample capabilities plus something like 3000 synth presets Not to mention a host of other FX & capabilities... I dont know what this twisting knobs and sliding faders back forth shit is BUT somebody please make a JOINT THAT SLAPS with this machine already??!!
def one of the better songs I heard on this thing
Thanks for listening! The new set I just posted is even better ;)
Ordered it. Lost my love of my life dog. So for my BDay ordered today. Thanks for the vids.
Yo bro I feel for you 6months later I hope you good, Blessings .

No problem, thanks very much for even listening to my musical ramblings!
I'm thinking of picking one up. Would you still recommend? Thanks
@@dubzmckenzie1 absolutely. There are a few minor annoyances with the unit but overall I really love mine and still play it often.

This is the MC707 performance video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, glad you like it!
such a lovely set right up my alley
Very impressive set and good tunes, hearing more and more demos on the chilled side of things that are really selling this unit.
Big ups Tarekith, loving this
Thank you for listening!

Alexandru Calin thanks so much, more on the way soon!
Smashing stuff. I'd love to see a making of video...
Thanks! I plan on making one for the new live set I'm working on now. Soon!
Excellent tune !!
Great set, perfect vibe, somehow reminded me of the work of Gus Gus vs. T-World
Very great sound
Very nice. I enjoyed this. Thanks.
This is awesome. Great sounds you are using👍I have ordered this groove box. Looking forward😃
I really like this, very smooth and musical.
Thank you!
💙 Great work! Love this set! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Beautiful ❤️ inspired my to do better with my mc707💪
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
excellent !
love it, just one word to keep in mind, "count"
I have the original MC 303 & the JV 1010 but I'm think of connecting it to the Deluge for the real analogue & using an MPC as the mixer maybe. A few more channels would be nice but I presume MSB LSB PC are easy locate on the device (and other midi controllers). Thinking of getting this due to its portability & sound collection to be honest.
so around 20 - 30 minutes live with only half of the clip martrix used. nice. i think i can pack my full live show in it with 1 - 2 hours of playtime
I definitely rush through my video sets, I could easily stretch a full clip matrix to 1 or 1,5 hours, so it's certainly doable.
@@tarekith i can't wait until i get my blackbox to pair up with the mc 707. i think with this two machines i am ready for a glory futre on stage. both machines will compensate the missing features of each other.
@@dankefurnichts You lie! The MC707 is missing NOTHING. It is the sheer embodiment of perfection as is! 😂

@@dankefurnichts I was making a joke :). There are a lot of things the MC707 can't do, though I guess the same could be said for al gear!
very nice stuff man, thanks for sharing :-)
Great Live Set my friend. There's a lot of experience and patience. Really Good
Alex Max thanks so much for listening!
very nice
Sounding like a late night/early morning loft over here!!!
I like those kind of vibes :)
Просто Красавчик! Молодец. Крутой грув!
Thinking of investing, Is it easy to build your own drumkits with imported samples like it its with the TR8s?
aikighost yep, very easy.
This is the best demo I have seen of the mc707. I was starting to wonder if it made sounds I would actually use and if it was possible to make a decent track start to finish.... Turns out it's bloody brilliant. Loved the set, do you have any tracks for DL?
Richard Tovey tons for download: Tarekith.com
same here this upload definitely changed my mind on it !!
@@URRBANELEKTRO glad you enjoyed it.
What do you think now? The functionality looks great but there are nearly no good previews online?!

fine Live -Set ....TOP...! The MC-707 is also fun, so nice to jam with
nice sounds !
Thanks!
Very Nice! At this point (22 minutes) how is the memory of the Mc 707? Is it possible to make a full set on it? (1 hour at least)
Sure, I use mainly the huilt in synths, so there's a lot of room for longer sets still
Best so far out there. I’m just wondering if it sounds a bit flat on the synth side?
That's a pretty 'sharp' comment.
tarekith I guess I just need to pick one up thanks having a tough time grasping the synth engine sound
Great Man!

Still Tarekith, MOrphing Mechanism is just the name of this set in particular. :)
Nice!!
Very good job. I love the kick , It's a 909 kit drum or another kit ?
There’s a few different kicks throughout the set, 909, 808, plus some of the more specialty kits in the 707.
Hey tarekith, I've been skating through 707 vids all night it's 5am and I still haven't found a demo/answer to this question... Can i record loops live without stopping the 707/it's other tracks? All the looper demos I've seen are working from the 707 being in stopped mode/silent.
Yep you can do it all while the 707 is playing back.
@@tarekith that's awesome! Although I'm looking for a live set centrepiece at the moment and it just makes things harder. It's a battle between octatrack, deluge and mc707
Excellent set! are all the sounds the standard kits and drums? or have you used any user samples.
Trevor Malcolm all stock drums and synths.
o baby
das it, man, das da stuf
Das good na?

This video has more or less convinced me. Curious if you've tried syncing to external synths - and if so, what has that experience been like?
No sorry, I use these thigns more or less by themselves standalone. No external synths for me yet.
Would be interesting to integrate something like a Crave.
Track 6, minutes 19.00 It seems an arp. What's?
Alex Max just a little preprogrammed sequence.
@@tarekith Thanks: but, preprogrammed directly on MC-707 or on other machine. I ask, because in the 707 there's no ARP. It's a sin
Alex Max this all 100% 707, use any other gear to write with at all.
@@alexmax9832 Since the latest firmware update an ARP is integrated
@@Raumfalle it was One year ago
Very chill and tight musically I guess you got this thing mastered! Great work. Love to see some new info tutorial on the box as well. Are you still loving it?
RUSTiK Inc definitely, it’s amazing.
Fancy seeing you here, Buddy! We have fantastic taste! 😀 👊

Beats Funk Noise I think the MC707 is way more powerful myself, it's not as powerful of a sampler like the Digi is though.
Gotta love YT recommended feed!
Nice track, looks great fun to play with, sounds great on my new AirPods Pro!! 👍
Awesome, thanks for randomly stopping by to listen!
This is or Octatrack?
If you want 8 tracks of sample mangling and real time sampling, and a midi sequencer, then the OT. If you want a drum machine with a dope ass synth inside and a ton of effects, then the MC707. Personally I like the 707 more, but that's not a slight against the OT either.
@@EZBOT_ I have no issues at all with the sound quality of the OT personally.
Both?
Is it an OP-Z on the table in the background ?
Maciek Kovalsky yep!
@@tarekith Still enjoying it ? :)
Maciek Kovalsky yep, I’ll have a review soon.
nice! nice!👍
what program did you use to record it ? please
Ableton Live, but any app will work. All I did was record the stereo outs from the 707, and normalize the audio level to -1dBFS.
Fuuuuuuuuck it’s a unique piece of gear isn’t it? Looking more and more into getting 707. Stepping up from Traktor toys
Digging your sound btw !
I like the minimal vibe.
Cheers man, appreciate it.
lol, I put my Ableton sticker I got with my Push 2 in the exact same spot on my MBP.
