tools, a built-in CD-RW drive and USB port, and you've got the MV-8000,the
ultimate studio for today's producers.

A Complete Studio for
Modern Production
While there are other hardware studios on the market,
none can compete with the MV-8000's ability to quickly turn raw samples into
song. With up to 101 minutes of sampling and compatibility with a wide range of
audio formats, the MV-8000 offers unlimited possibilities. And sequencing is
easy, thanks to 16 velocity-sensitive pads and a graphic LCD interface. Users
can record up to 128 MIDI and eight audio tracks, apply effects and burn a
CD-making the MV-8000 the first Roland product capable of handling every part of
the production process.
From Sample to Finished CD
Thanks to
the onboard CD-RW drive, producers can create entire songs armed with only an
MV-8000 and their favorite CDs. The sampler can load 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 Bliss
The MV-8000's 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 eight stereo audio tracks (16
mono) that can be used like a linear recorder. Program beats on the MIDI tracks
and combine them with freestyle vocals or acoustic instruments on the audio
tracks, including the ability to "punch in" at any time. The innovative MV-8000
can even sync audio to the sequencer's BPM.
Luxurious Velocity Pads
and LCD Interface
Users of other sampling studios can now upgrade to the
MV-8000 without sacrificing the distinctive feel they're used to, thanks to 16
large drum pads for programming beats and triggering audio phrases. The pads are
both velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive for maximum expression, and when
combined with the MV-8000's large, graphic LCD and realtime control knobs, make
sequencing more natural and spontaneous.
Compatible with Popular
Audio Formats
When it comes to sound libraries, the MV-8000 offers
compatibility with some of the biggest formats around-including the ability to
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. The MV-8000 also loads ACID files and can
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.
Studio-Quality Effects and CD-RW Drive
The dream of a complete
studio in a box becomes a reality with four dedicated effects processors and an
onboard CD-RW drive. The MV-8000 delivers 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 Roland COSM 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, and it's also
a great way to load sequences quickly during performance. When connected via
USB, the VM-8000's hard drive can be accessed directly from a computer's
desktop.
Options Galore
By purchasing the optional MV8-OP1
expansion card, MV-8000 users gain six additional analog outputs, a digital
input, plus an R-BUS port that can be used to transfer up to eight channels of
digital audio to R-BUS equipped Roland 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.
