1. Welcome To Jackbox 7R Series!
Welcome and thank you for choosing our Jackbox 7R series devices.
The 7R series, consists of two devices. The 7R-707 Drum Module, and the
7R-727 Perc Module, inspired by the original hardware series TR-707 and TR-
727 by Roland. The Rack Extension counterparts, try to mimic the behaviour
of the original devices, in terms of UI interface, sounds, and channel
grouping. Nevertheless for the time being, they have not pattern sequencer
capabilities.
The TR-707 and 727 where essential producer choices, in the days of early
Chicago house music. Legendary artists and bands have created some of
their most classic tunes using these machines. Artists like Ralphy Rosario,
Virgo, Joe Smooth, Larry Heard, Bu-Khan, Phuture to mention just a few.
They can also be found in many early Detroit Techno tracks as well.
For us it was a labour of our love, to bring to bring back, even these
stripped down versions of these beautiful machines. As Reason fanatics, and
classic house music lovers, it was always a fascinating idea. And it was a
long wait.
This manual covers both of the Jackbox devices, since they work in a similar
manner.
