    • Awesome!
Size: Compact
Much better than I expected. I bought this to use it as a sound module, but I really like the workflow. I toght that having only 4 channels will make it limited, but its actually enought! Pros: - Sounds great! - The preset library is HUGE, it has all kind of sounds, making the instrument very versatile. - Really fun and intuitive workflow - Battery and USB powered, which makes it possible to bring anywhere - Midi In can be also set as Thru making it super easy to add to a hardware setup Cons: - Only 8 scenes (I think at least can be doubled) - Pads are not velocity sensitive - No program change - Switching between projects takes time, so hard to perform several songs without interruption ... show more

    • Needs a song mode.
Size: Standard
I just returned this after owning it for a few days. I had the TR8s and this blows that away. Very deep learning curve but much easier with this unlike the TR8s. I was blown away but the amount of included sounds and sound editing options. Many have complained about the sampler but I use my DAW for that so that wasn’t an issue for me. I do feel it is slightly overpriced but I would have kept it had it had a song mode. I don’t understand how you build this around making clips and are able to connect this to a DAW but not include a song mode. I’m sure it will be in an update soon as this had an update already that actually gives you a metronome. When that feature is added I will pick this up again because this is fun groove box. ... show more

    • Everything about this machine is wonderful!
Size: Standard
This is the coolest groovebox made (in my opinion, of course). I am biased as a huge fan of Roland equipment, so take my review with a graintable of salt. It is super pricey, but, no more or less pricey than any other mid to upper range audio production equipment. The interface is incredibly intuitive and user friendly. The entire unit is super easy to work with and a joy to play on. Way worth the money! ... show more

    • One of the greatest dawless devices ever made
Size: Compact
The MC-101 is absolutely amazing as a way to get access to thousands of sounds and make beats. It made me love my SP-404 again because I was running out of sounds/grooves to load into it and it was a chore to make beats from scratch on the SP. But, together the MC-101 and SP-404 are a dream team. I create clips with the MC-101, and instead of using scenes on the MC I just put my clips on my SP and then I launch them that way. I can also add vocals via the SP. Good stuff Roland you guys are incredible!! ... show more

    • If you can afford it, click buy! 5 stars
Size: Standard
MC-707 wow. It is everything you think it is, and more. This thing is built like a tank. Worth every penny. Sound design, samples, sequencing, scenes, a LOT of presets, tone tracks, drum tracks (also with compression), looper tracks. You can sample anything. If you were considering getting 1 of these, click buy. You wont regret it. MC-101 Lacking in the sound design catagory, as well as inputs and outputs. However, its half the price for 90% of the functionality of the 707. Still worth every penny if you are on a budget, or want a much smaller device. ... show more

    • It is a neat toy but...
Size: Standard
The lack of memory makes the looper function relatively useless in terms of making arrangements on the device with them. The drum samples sound bad. Be prepared to have to customize every kit heavily to attain reasonable sounding drums. If you want the Roland drums, by a TR8S or better yet buy something other than a Roland. The screen and OS are embarrassingly bad, totally unacceptable for a device made this decade, and definitely not worth $1k. My ~20 year old Roland vDrums appear to be built around the same antiquated software design. It really feels like Roland didn't even try, memory is cheap now, there is no excuse for only being able to sample 8 4 bar samples in looper. As a toy it is fun to play with, as a piece of production equipment it is garbage. Finish the product next time and charge more for it unless the goal is to only ever sell me one device. To be fair the entire synth/sequencer market seems to be fine with making poorly designed equipment running atrociously bad software. I should have bought a Deluge at least they are trying. ... show more

I like the size and the use of creativity. It comes pre-packaged with various sounds. I didn't like that no USB cable was included. Also the cost is high in my opinion. However, during the pandemic I will log considerable hours Update: Great purchase! Received updates and access to Roland cloud. This little machine makes beats, melodies and the option to sample. My workflow in Ableton is streamlined... highly recommended NOTE: price is reasonable for all the updates ... show more
