thats so dope bro. I have a TR-8s and was already set on adding a MC-707. I was thinking about a Roland MX-1 mixer but that system-1sounds amazing and may be a better investment than a mixer. I am an old 60 year young kid getting into this late in life so any advice greatly appreciated. Also ordered a used TB-03 and SH-01a. I hope they play nice with this gear. Your music really does sound dope bro. Has that tinge of acid with a cool groove. I love it.🤘
NIce bro. Here, I've been using: TR-8S + Akai MPC One (as keyboard and to record live melody). Because TR-8s is a sound interface, I'm using Serum to synth midi sounds on MAC.
It's a 3 tier stand so I removed the top tier and flipped it around so I don't bump into the bottom bars. It's height adjustable to so when I'm writing I use it sitting down and performing I use it standing up
Sorry a bit late to this - great stuff. I have the 707 and TR-8S. Would you recommend adding the System-1 to it? What do you find it adds to your overall production?
No I wouldn't recommend the system one. I don't use it anymore it has too much of a digital tinny sound and no screen to dial things in numerically. I'm not sure if I'll ever incorporate a synth into the setup again I just use 707 and TR8S now
@Fharmer Nice. It is a SUPERB synth when you start tinkering with partials and the sound editing. I love the meatiness of the TR-8S's drums, too. I have a JX-08 and a classic JV1080 (and a UNO SYNTH) alongside so I pretty have most of what I need... ...until I see something new I like hehe.
Thanks! I run the system-1 audio into the external input on the mc707. The midi for the s1 is sent from track 3 on the 707. The 707 then sends it's master out to the external in on the tr8s. The tr8s sends master audio out to the recording device.
Yes. My 707 is the master. I use track 3 on the 707 to write the midi sequences for the system 1. Then I send the audio from the 707 and the s1 into the tr8s. The tr8s sends the final combined audio out. The tr8s is slaved to the 707. So only start and stop messages are sent. I wrote patterns on the tr8s for each song on the 707 and change them manually on the tr8s.
I can only fit like 8-10 songs in a project file. So a 1-1.5 hour live set requires me to hit stop and load new project files twice. That's a big loss. There needs to be a "next project" feature like on the mpc
@@Fharmer Yeah, it feels like they missed that part where you want to mix 2 songs together. You sort of need 2 707's to be able to do that. Especially with the longer project loading times it will probably not be something they can implement easily (it will hit the max capabilities of the 707 quickly when they have to play 2 projects at the same time). But who knows, they have made some interesting updates already.
@@Fharmer I understand.. There's a two tier(dj rack) and it's perfect . if you get the MX1 you'll enjoy those mutes, solos, scatter(and this scatter feature is melodic), and it just connects, no midi wire..and it's quiet.. I really like it because I have two Aira's.

Ah this is sweet stuff indeed. Good progression, variation, very addictive to watch and listen 🕺👌

Great mix man! #NawDaw
Nice sound, great setup, awesome jam
Nice one, dude!
nice Jam!!! i like it =)
Nice jam😀🎶
very good. beautiful sounds. it's not my kind of production but I really like this.
Love it 😊
Great work
Très bon ça...
that was awesome man
90s vibes! ;)
Sir , you smash the room
Really good man!
Cool techno 😎
excelent!
sound good ! nice
hell yeah! I love this!
is it possible to connect Roland System 1 to TR8S if you tell me how they should be connected please
Midi out from the 8s, to the System 1, then to the MC707? Thanks, excellent sounds!
Perfect!
buena jam
how do i connect system 1 to tr8s and mc707 please tell me the ports and connections please
Woow do cool
Awesome 👌
Nice!!! Trance!
Hey Mate, Do you think you can make a video showing in detail how you connect all this together? Would be much appreciated!
Sure no problem. Give me a couple weeks
@@Fharmer still waiting :P
I'm looking into getting a setup like this but so long on where to start...
@@worldwed I stopped using the system-1. It doesn't sound good enough. I only use the mc707 and tr8s now. More compact.
the idea to put wood on keyboard's stand is brilliant, but how did you do it in angled position?

@@Fharmer Cheers! Really appreciate your advice. 👍👍
If you set up your knobs on the 707 to control release and you use a lot of delay on the synths tracks you can get much better sound just with the 707
@Fharmer Nice. It is a SUPERB synth when you start tinkering with partials and the sound editing. I love the meatiness of the TR-8S's drums, too. I have a JX-08 and a classic JV1080 (and a UNO SYNTH) alongside so I pretty have most of what I need... ...until I see something new I like hehe.
Min 4:25 is killing me well played
You like the fake 303! Haha thanks!
cool sound! how did you connect the system 1, tr-8s and mc 707? Thanks
Thanks! I run the system-1 audio into the external input on the mc707. The midi for the s1 is sent from track 3 on the 707. The 707 then sends it's master out to the external in on the tr8s. The tr8s sends master audio out to the recording device.

Hi Matt really cool I just got a 707, system 1 and mx1 interested to know how did you sync the system 1 with the other gear?
Yes. My 707 is the master. I use track 3 on the 707 to write the midi sequences for the system 1. Then I send the audio from the 707 and the s1 into the tr8s. The tr8s sends the final combined audio out. The tr8s is slaved to the 707. So only start and stop messages are sent. I wrote patterns on the tr8s for each song on the 707 and change them manually on the tr8s.
Hello, can you send me a drawing of the inputs and outputs? I New here, also I have System-1 MC-707, MX-1 and TR-8S
Sounds very good.
I'm saving hard to get my hands on a 707
How do you like it so far?
PS, I subbed to your channel to stay connected :)
It's got it's wins and losses. Im happy with it because of the 128 step sequencer and the preset sounds are nice.
Matt Hutchins thnx
What loses do you feel?
@@Fharmer Thanks man. I just got my hands on a second hand one last night.
Time to dig into it.

U need the MX1. Save those midi cables
I've thought about getting one but my setup is already kinda large.
@@Fharmer I understand.. There's a two tier(dj rack) and it's perfect . if you get the MX1 you'll enjoy those mutes, solos, scatter(and this scatter feature is melodic), and it just connects, no midi wire..and it's quiet.. I really like it because I have two Aira's.
@@Fharmer For the gear you have, it's seriously worth considering given how seamlessly it all integrates with Roland gear.
Is the Kick comming from the MC or the TR?
In this video the kick is from the 707. But in all my newer stuff, my kicks come from the tr8s
External Sequencer ideas pls.?
The mc707 is the sequencer
Dude this is so fat, huge !!
