DDV’s TR-707/TR-727 Sysex Librarian

Thanks for checking out my MIDI Sysex-based Librarian for the Roland TR-707 and TR-727! This is the app we've all been waiting 38 years for! With this librarian you can avoid the hassles of trying to get Tape Load/Save working on the 707/727, and backup, restore and move banks around on your 707/727 over MIDI!

You will need to connect two MIDI cables to your 707/727: From computer (MIDI OUT) to 707/727 MIDI IN and From 707/727 (MIDI OUT) to Computer MIDI IN.

Data loss disclaimer: Please be aware that when Transmitting (XMIT) banks to the 707/727, you will OVERWRITE ALL DATA.
