That’s a nice new lineup, and seems to be decently priced. The sequencer looks pretty nice with the clip launching. Mix in the pads, Audio Over USB, and DAW control you could set up, and this is a pretty compelling package that Roland has put together.
If I were to choose between the two, I might also be leaning towards these new Fantom’s. They look more intuitive to use and have full-sized keys. Roland has some competition within themselves in this price range, as also still have the System 8. But they also have different target markets for these products.
The build quality and screen look nice on these new Fantom’s. Seeing something like this new Fantom 06 with its $1499 price tag, I think people would be willing to pay a little extra for a Groovebox like the MC-707 if it had a better screen and build quality.
