One benefit of using the Zen-Core presets (around 4000 of them) from Roland is that most of the default banks are really well balanced. Sounds great out of the box even without applying any mixing or mastering magic sauce.

After wrapping up the extended mix of Clockwork, I did some jamming with the MC-707.

Surprised I still managed a lot of the shortcuts without checking the manual. Just muscle-memory, because if you asked me from the top of my head what they were I would have not known, but somehow my hands did. :D

Just got the key for The Last Ninja Collection I backed on Kickstarter.

Congrats on the release @system3.bsky.social !

Safe to say that after all these years I still suck with the controls. 😂

Eric Persing basically defined the sound of generations, and keeps doing so. He should get a statue or something. :)

Happy birthday!

Can't see the mustache is made from your former beard at all, impressive! :P

Just finished mixing down the extended version. Now for some more listening and some mastering and then it's done I think.

I thought about upgrading the original with the beefed-up drums and a slightly longer outro as a 'club edit', but I think I'll be using the MC-707 for that. :D

Last night there was as a knock on the door and it turned out to be a detective.

"I'm in plain clothes, Sir" he began to explain.

"But why are you wearing a suit of black and white squares?" I questioned.

"Nothing to worry about" he answered - it's just a routine check"

Now to figure out if I can do something similar for MIDI (connect MC-707 with A-300 virtually).

Pretty easy, no mixer required unless I want run without turning on the computer (in which case I would have to plug my Adam T7V's direcly into the 707).

Setting up loopback on Windows 11 is surprisingly easy.

You can specify it ony any input device. In this case the mix output of my Roland MC-707 (connected via USB, has its own audio interface).

On the input's properties, select 'Listen to this device' and select your audio interface.

Done.

Now to (re) learn how to play it. :D

I have owned one before, and a TR-8S, and some other stuff. Which I all sold in 2023 because I fully wanted to work 'in the box'.

But I want to do some live stuff, so I got one again to combine with my Roland A300Pro keyboard.

Bought from a guy who didn't use it anymore, so didn't break the bank.

Precies. Tijdlijn vervuilen=weg. Maak daar ook niet zoveel woorden aan vuil. En ik moedig mensen ook aan mij te muten/blocken als ze me vervelend/vermoeiend vinden. Is niks persoonlijks verder, gewoon geen tijd voor allerlei oeverloze discussies.

That is one hell of a sentence. Absolutely beautiful.
