There's no way that in 1985 we would've thought all the classic Roland sound were already with us. They're still recycling their stuff 1980-1985 to this day!
I have it in my home studio, together with its "Latin" counterpart TR 727 and the iconic TR 808, as well as the Boss Dr 55 and other vintage gear, although today I almost only use a DAW, where I can virtualize any vintage drum-machines and all kind of synthesizers. The TR 707 is absolutely one of my favorites among the sample-based drum machines from the "8 bit" era, but I think that to fully appreciate its great potential you need to make full use of the separate outputs, and process each sound through a almost scientific use of compressors, distortions, equalizers, delays and reverbs; in this way it is possible to "model" it's typical low-fi sounds to give the "hit" to the bass drum, the "patch" to the snare drum, the right timbre to the toms, the good equalization to hi-hats and cymbals, etc... In this way I am able to obtain from this drum machine the same sounds that came out of the LinnDrum in the early 80s, but leaving that bit of "timbral flavor" typical of Roland drum-machines...

@@kennymd2488 Thats it, a DAW gives you countless ways to find sounds, but in the end, classic sounds fron the 808, 909 or the 707 are still kickn.
