Re: Roland MV-8000
I have had mine for about 2 months now.
All I got to say...
this was the best investment I have made in music yet.
The way you can turn just one standard sub bass tone into the craziest bass lines, I'm talking Decorder or Andy C style basslines.
The MV has some of the cleanest LPF and LFO filters I have heard. Along side the MFX prossesors, you won't need anything else.
The compressors give your beats more hit and power then any MPC can.
Pluss with the VGA option, the speed of workflow surpasses any other software or hardware machine I have worked on. I can bust out with 3 or 4 new songs in just a 12 hour session in the lab.
Downside, unlike the MPC, there is no "next sequence" button. So you have to stop all the music to load up the next song. This was a key element in live performance with the MPC, but you still have other options for live performace with the MV, like multi-timbral mode and pattern play.
Also, if you are used to using Soundforge to chop or edit your samples, then the MV can be kinda of a pain in that area, but it does get ALLOT easier. The lack of a play meter in the Sample edit screen is a basic feature that is lacking. Also the lack of a draw or fade tool, can leave your samples a little raw at the tail end of the wave form. So for this reason I still use soundforge to chop any breaks, or to sample from a classic rock songs where you need that fade or draw tool, to avoid those times where the wave form dosen't go through the center. |
