Bad Gear - Almost as GOOD as REBIRTH
Bad Gear - MC 707

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Roland instruments are the pinnacle of music technology: tones so awesome that they are still force-fed to music enjoyers decades after their creation, timeless design and a history of pushing forward innovation exactly where it’s needed while preserving their great heritage.

Today we are going to talk about MC-707. This OG groovebox for the 2020s comes with the third-best display to ever grace a Roland machine, their second-best modern take on the classic sounds and THE best method to sell more cloud subscriptions.

Thanks to Klangfarbe for lending me one of their floor models:
