Roland TR-707 midi question

Post by disco magnet » Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:40 pm

hi,

does anyone know if it is possible to transmit midi and hear the 707 sounds at the same time and if so how?

i've started messing about on it and can't remember what it can and can't do.

cheers

In the 2 weeks between posting and bumping, have you tried it??
If it's anything like the 505, then it should. Just make sure the midi channel is the same on the 707 as the unit used to trigger it.

so you want to listen to the sound from the unit and trigger another unit at the same time?

i'm certain you can do that on a 707 in normal mode. have you set the other units midi channel?
