Boy was I wrong. Roland obviously did not like that fact that AKAI had an upper hand on them when it came to drum machines so they launched the MV-8000. WHOA! This piece of production hardware is an MPC 4000’s worst nightmare. Roland really took it to the max. I have had a chance to play around with this machine and let me tell you something. The 8 audio tracks and real-time audio stretching is ridiculous. To make it even worse the damn thing reads AKAI sample format….OUCH! If I wasn’t so use to my MPC 2000XL I would have to get one. The effects and processing power is absurd just ask Jermaine Dupri of SO SO Def! I transferred some AKAI files I had to my friends MV-8000 to bang this beat…peep it out! Locking the audio sample on this drum machine was so simple I actually produced 9 other tracks on my friends joint. Whew! Close call I almost gave up the MP. Dang!! The Roland MV-8000 Production Guide will give you the current specs on the most popular Roland Drum Machine ever the “Roland MV-8000”. Roland MV 8000 Production Guide The MPC Drum Machine Line
The Complete Package Roland MV 8000 Production Guide The MV-8000 is the ideal suite of tools for groove-making, sampling, and CD-burning in an elegant, integrated package. Sample your own sounds or import Roland, Akai, ACID and WAV libraries, then arrange it all using 16 touch-sensitive pads and Roland's most powerful audio/MIDI sequencer. With professional COSM effects, mastering tools, CDRW drive, and USB port, you've got the ultimate studio for today's producers. Quickly turn raw samples into songs. Up to 101 minutes of sampling and compatibility with a wide range of audio formats. Record up to 128 MIDI and 8 audio tracks, apply effects, and burn CDs. Loads sample libraries ranging from Roland and Akai to WAV and ACID formats, all with just a few simple commands. Then it's just a matter of tapping in some beats, arranging the song, and adding effects before burning it all to an audio CD. 136 tracks of sequencing The sequencer section boasts total integration of audio and MIDI and up to 136 tracks of recording. These include 128 MIDI tracks (with 32-channel operation) and 8 stereo audio tracks (16 mono) that can be used like a linear recorder. You can program beats on the MIDI tracks and combine them with freestyle vocals or acoustic instruments on the audio tracks, with the ability to 'punch in' at any time. Sync audio to the sequencer's BPM 16 large drum pads let you program beats and trigger audio phrases. The pads are both velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive for maximum expression, and when combined with the large, graphic LCD and realtime control knobs, make sequencing more natural and spontaneous. Compatible with some of the biggest formats around, you can import Akai MPC disks via the built-in floppy drive. Users can also load Roland S-700 Series libraries and WAV/AIFF discs from CD-ROM or via USB transfer, and rip audio directly from CD. It can also load ACID files and automatically calculate the bars and BPM, making it easier to work with loops. User sampling is also provided complete with phono inputs for sampling records. 4 dedicated effects processors They include 24-bit Reverb, separate Chorus/Delay, and a versatile MFX (multi-effects) processor with COSM effects made famous in Roland's V-Studios. These include algorithms like guitar amp modeling, microphone and speaker modeling, plus unique tools like Lo-Fi and Slicer. A Mastering Tool Kit offers everything needed to sweeten up mixes before going to CD. Massive 40GB Hard Drive While audio and samples are played back using the onboard sample RAM, the MV-8000 can store its sounds and projects to an internal 40GB hard disk. This makes it easy to manage large sound libraries once they have been converted to MV-8000 format. It's also a great way to load sequences quickly during performance. When connected via USB, the hard drive can be accessed directly from a computer's desktop. Options Galore By purchasing the optional MV8-OP1 expansion card, users gain 6 additional analog outputs, a digital input, plus an R-BUS port that can be used to transfer up to 8 channels of digital audio to R-BUS equipped V-Studios or to ADAT-compatible devices using the optional DIF-AT Interface Box. And with Roland's V-LINK technology inside, the MV-8000 can be used to trigger and manipulate video clips when used with optional video equipment from Edirol. So when it comes to sampling studios, don't settle for second best. Get the Roland MV-8000. Roland MV 8000 Production Guide
