I use Scratch Live, Studio One, Mix Emergency, Serato DJ and Serato Video programs.
#Roland mv 8000 patches software#
Although the software has improved since I started with version 1.2, its still not at the point where I trust to use it live. I constantly have issues with the Ren software crashing & disconnecting and freezing up. My main issue with the MPC Ren is the software instability. Like everything Roland makes, this thing is discontinued but it’s still modern. As I get more comfortable with the MV, I will post some beats to give cats a listen. Well, this thing is not a MPC but I think once a person masters it, they won’t miss the MPC. For $600 USD this thing is worth a try and I’m glad I did.
#Roland mv 8000 patches update#
I hit a couple of glitches with the OS but I think I need to update it. I didn’t care it was hard because I got other gear and I’m not totally dependent on it but that is slowly changing. I know many got discourage and said forget it.
It’s not easy to just jump on and get busy. I can see why people diss this Drum machine. If you come from the Fantom world, unlearn anything you learned on there to understand this machine. Also, Midi Tracks, Instruments and Phrases are another thing I had to come to grips with. Now the MV-8800 reminds me of my fantom because now I get the timing like it. I use Track Parameter for everything I need done. I know peeps in the DAW world could read this and say big deal but for a hardware guy this is amazing. Track Parameter are great because you can change quantize in real-time. I had to erase all that I knew about the Fantom and MPC just to understand this box. I’m a guy that’s use to recording quantize as I play especially on the Fantom S.
#Roland mv 8000 patches manual#
All the descriptions are in text so I had to crack open the manual to figure out what they were talking about. I wish cats on MV Nation had screenshots of where to look. I discovered that Track Parameter is where the magic happens. I just said fuck it and played around with the box till it made sense. It was still hard because cats on the forum gave different perspectives to attack the sequencer. Thanks to forums like MV Nation, they put me on the right track. The MV-8800 has 3 different ways to quantize and that’s what made things confusing. I was under the impression the MV-8800 is like the fantoms sequencer because they got the same resolution. I know I could get some flak for saying that but it’s just my opinion. After that, I discovered that the Fantom’s sequencer is amazing. I decided to learn the Fantom sequencer because I got bored with the MPC. The Fantom sequencer is totally different for the MPC 2000XL. It took me a few years to master the fantom and the only reason was because I’m a long time MPC user. I play keyboards as well and my weapon of choice is the Fantom S. Drum machines are my first love because I love taping pads to create my foundation. I think Roland made this thing a little crazy but that’s what makes it great. I’m confident I got my mind wrap around the function of this baby. Ok, I messed around with the MV-8800 sequencer for the past two days.
