The Roland TR 707 is classic 80's Roland drum machine. It has great sounds, is super easy to program, has individual outputs, a mixer section for on the fly action and runs off batteries.
So it's really good for live performance.What more could you want
And it's not crazy expensive yet, though prices for these have been steadily increasing. I feel I can't take my 808 or 909 out on gigs, but this I still can.
The plastic build reduced it's cost and possibly kept it in the "budget" category. However this also makes it so much lighter than a 808 or 909. I can carry a 707 in a backpack.
It's looks are based on the 909, and sure it won't knock the 909 off its pedestal, but there ia a reason why you will find this drum in the studio of countless producers around the world.
The drum was released by in 1985.
I think its snare, claps, and hi-hats all helped shape house’s sound.
15 digital sounds are sampled at 12 bits, and it can send or receive MIDI/ din sync.
It's easy to integrate this into any sound studio. The drum can send old analog clock (rim Trigger out) to drive eurorack, has midi and Din sync so you can easily integrate old pre midi Roland gear such as a TB 303.
