I do find myself questioning how to jam live like you do, Peter, so thank you for making behind-the-scenes videos. I will make sure to watch others you made. I more or less 'program' music in a DAW but want to have more control during playing, pretending I am playing for a small audience. I hope this change in workflow can happen for me, as I want to have more fun.
Thanks. Before I started with the 707, I had the same workflow in the DAW. (and I still have that for when I use the DAW). But I wanted to have a second place to make music. When I started out, my goal was to make tracks on the hardware setup too, but that did not work well. I got quite frustrated when I could not do with hardware what I normally did (in the DAW), but after a lot of pushing through and many hours just fiddling around, I developed a different workflow. One that is much more fun and instant. It's really like performing your jam. And the 707 works very well for me in this way.
@@rayderrich I have been thinking about a way to show my workflow in an interesting way. But it is still not super clear how I can prevent this from becoming a very long and boring video with me trying out ideas consciously trying to make something interesting for the viewer.
@@tricks-and-tips It will not be for everyone, but what might look boring to you is fresh for someone like me who does not know how to do it yet. And you can always cut some scenes if you feel some parts are just too long. But hey do what you want, it is just a thought, not a must.
Great stuff. Always fun to see ppls workflow. For me, my first step is to assign chords to the chord pads… I then build 2+ song sections (clips for verse, chorus, etc)… then I jam.
Yeah, that sounds good! I sometimes struggle to find A and B sections. But for this jam I think it will be Allright. I think I have enough for that now. Next video will be about trying to create some scenes for the final jam. And it is very well possible that I record new clips during that process 🤣 Just where the inspiration takes me
Thanks man! And congratulations. Take it slow and have fun! There is a lot to learn! I'm currently at project 59 and still learning new things about the 707!
This is brilliant! And I have several minutes still to watch (and will!) The idea of a a project for favorite tones is simple but powerful! (I do this with songs, telling Siri to add to my “File Later” playlist, to be sorted into a “real” playlist later.) I love my 707 but have been too distracted (life, work, Eurorack, etc) to build a real workflow. This will help tremendously! Yes, MORE OF THESE, PLEASE!
Thanks! Glad it was useful. I'm planning on doing a second part where I structure all the various clips and try to come up with something that makes sense as a track. Yeah, that is nice too (having a playlist with songs that inspire you)
I like your timbres. Particularly the bass one. I have an MC-707 which I use for it's bread and butter sounds (piano, rhodes, clav), but you make it sound the way it should!
@tricks-and-tips Thanks for getting back, I can't figure out how to save a drum pattern or melody that I sample on the 707 on to the sd card. Do I have to create a file first or something? Thanks
@@romi2910001 I don't get it, sorry. What do you want to do? You have a drum clip going on the 707 on a drum track and want to save that as a sample on the 707? Why? To use on the 707? I don't get it, I never make samples from the 707 on the 707 itself.

I have a simple 49keys midi keyboard that I use too. But for this project I set the pads to a minor scale, and that way I can come up with patterns that I would not have thought of on a regular keyboard 😁
Thanks for sharing your process. Grabbed several tips 👍
Thanks man!

Wow Great vid btw would you happen know how to save samples on the SD card. Something i haven't been able figure out. Thanks in advance
Thank you!
What do you want to do?
Save from PC on the SD so you can use them in the 707?

@tricks-and-tips Thanks I'll take a look at it.
Subbed. Nice work
Thanks a lot!!
Great stuff! What scale are you on here?
Thanks!
Em (+4 and Minor)
For Note Mode, are you in a scale of some sort, as to why the pads are all lit?
Yes, In this case I used a minor scale. It can be handy when jamming, mainly because you get 2 octaves.
Hey how do u set up ur melody key pads to not be like a piano. But access all pads?
Hi! Shift + Note and select a scale (C4 knob)
You can transpose your pads up and down too here.
Also, do you feel something like a Keystep 37 would help you in this workflow?
I have a simple 49keys midi keyboard that I use too. But for this project I set the pads to a minor scale, and that way I can come up with patterns that I would not have thought of on a regular keyboard 😁
Where are you based I'm in kent
The Netherlands.
@@tricks-and-tips to far to hook up and jam eh
@@chriscrowder3844 Yeah, unfortunately.
That would get time consuming and expensive in no time....
I sold my Moog Minotaur because Subby Bass was the only sub I’d ever need.
😆What did you get instead?
You uh… do know you can just quantize your bad timing instead of fixing it by hand, right?
Hahahahahahaha.
Look at the red light on the button.
Quantization is ON.....
My timing is very bad sometimes ;P
@@tricks-and-tips Doh! I didn’t notice haha
that’s rough lol
Well, we all have our battles.
You still make kick-ass videos😊
@@wylatron I can only wonder how it would sound without 😬😬😬😬
Thanks!
What are good quantization settings for this machine? Or Also in general. I have been trying to figure out good Quantize settings
