Roland MC-707 Tutorial - Wave Scanning with the Mod Matrix

Welcome to my in-depth tutorial on the Roland MC-707, focusing on the advanced technique of wave scanning using the mod matrix.

In this video, we'll guide you through the process of wave scanning, a powerful method for creating evolving textures and tones, by skillfully manipulating the MC-707's modulation matrix.

Whether you're a seasoned producer or new to the world of grooveboxes, this tutorial will unlock new creative possibilities, showing you step-by-step how to navigate the interface and assign modulation sources and destinations.

Get ready to elevate your sound design skills and add unique, dynamic layers to your music with the ​⁠‪@rolandglobal‬ MC-707.

Here is the link to download the 2 clips mentioned in the video. I also added the 2 Tones that were demonstrated in the video as clips as well.

Put these clip files in the TONE folder inside of the CLIP folder found in the GROOVEBOX folder of your SD card. If there isn't a Clip or Tone folder present on the SD Card, Create a CLIP folder in the GROOVEBOX folder. Then inside the CLIP folder, create a TONE folder. This is where the Tone clips will be held. If you are sharing clips of Drum Tracks, be sure to make a DRUM folder in the CLIP folder. If you are unsure of this procedure, check out the beginning of the video linked below.



They contain Init Tones with the partials split between velocity ranges. The first has no fade between ranges, creating abrupt changes when cycling through the partials. the second file has fade applied to the ranges, creating smoother transitions between partials.

Use these clips on the 101 or 707 by simply loading the clip to an empty slot on a tone track. Then, activate and choose a waveform for each oscillator in the Shift+Sound edit menu.

Partial velocity ranges are as follows:
PMT 1: 1-31
PMT 2: 32-63
PMT 3: 64-95
PMT 4: 96-127
