I work on a Mac all day and wanted something without a screen to make songs. This is the only device that has full song making features without a screen. Thanks
@@mrburns366 I don’t have much time to learn it and thus don’t like it yet … I wish the screen would show the midi notes&chords that I recorded… it’s hard to use the build in chords and then make a bass to it as I don’t see /know what notes each chord is…
@@literaltrash2275 I’ve used it only once during the last year. I’ve put my favorite drum samples on the sd card to be able to use them. I’ve registered a free account at Roland cloud to download 3-4 free genre specific soundpacks (LoFi etc) … due to the tiny screen going through the internal sounds takes forever and I could not find how to favorite sounds. So instead of using any of the internal sounds I browse quickly to the sound sounds on the SD card and find what I like among the ca 50 sounds there. That’s all I can stomach to do on the display. I still don’t know how to see the midi notes I have recorded in order to copy notes from one track to another. I think the only usable dawless box that is powerful and easy to use must be the AKAI Force. (Which is all LEDs, screen and buttons every where)
I’m so excited to own the MV-1 however I’m still struggling to learn how to use it. Roland should do a series on how to use this device for someone who is unfamiliar with drum sequencers. Just the basic functions, explained simply, step by step. Thanks
Just placed an order! Im coming from a decade of DAW and hardware groove boxes. I wanted a hardware solution for the whole music production so this the MV1 was appealing! Cant wait to get my hands dirty!
I have a feeling that in the future this thing will be highly sought after, but today it’s highly more complex than people are willing to invest time into. Plus producers are too invested in touchscreens and DAWs. It’s still a Roland product and the sounds are stellar so I bought one and we’ll see what comes of it.
I really appreciate Roland doing these instructive videos for they are surely needed. There are so many ways to edit something that chances are you‘ll never find it, e.g. there is Shift + X, Edit + X and then X + Encoder or Enter and Select and more. Since it’s not always one way the UI is far from intuitive at times. It probably makes sense on a deeper level for Roland does not strike me as careless but results in a steep learning curve for this interesting instrument.
It takes some time but once you get into it's logic, it becomes more intuitive. I was kinda lost for a day or two but after that it started to gel. As an instrumentalist, I feel like the workflow and tactical nature of this machine taps the same part of my brain as playing an instrument does. That's something I've always felt I lacked when working in daws. Where so many devices go with more knobs and sliders and/or bigger screens that distract the headspace bridging listening and creating, the MV-1 aims to stay out of the way so you can stay in a more intuitive state during the creative process. I feel like this machine will be a sleeper while ppl whine about the screen size, but eventually the right people get a hold of it, appreciate the objective of its design, and give it the props it deserves.
Hello, I would like to second the UNDO w/Shift & Edit button as suggested by Peter Castle. Also, the sample edit Start and End point values need to have a more coarse option. Holding shift and turning the knob does this but is not coarse enough. So, it should be similar to the original Electribe ESX (Red model) where you can move the cursor left or right to very coarse or very fine adjusting of the sample start and end point. It makes for much quicker sample editing. Thanks Roland, if you read these comments. I really like this unit and with a few firmware upgrades it could be an amazing piece of kit. Cheers
Hummm cool 👍🏽 one thing I want to know it’s about the template … how can we create our own template, with wave sample or instrumental sound, with configuration type ready, for trap, reagge, Old school rap, Zouk … ???
This is a fantastic video!! I watched it like 3 or 4 times, and I don't even own the MV-1 yet, but I will be ordering one this week. i've watched a lot of these reviews, and this one is the best no doubt! Good job!!
Great for new producer, vocalists wanting to collaborate and pro's needing a sketch pad. not entirely sure the marketing is pushing those angles. it needs a bit of faith to get started (but i think im probably a bit slow with these things) but, after a month im liking the put up or shut up no trix you need to use me for something more than just plugins, the workflow def forcing you into making a song, sound quality deeply inspiring and you can take it anywhere. sampling workflow needs work, vocal workflow is great but needs a good primer - weakest part of the manual but the vid def helped me, zenbeats integration takes things to a different level. im really enjoying the lack of a screen (put up or shut up) but once youve got some sequences made zenbeats adds nitrous to a slick workflow. its got it creases (at 2 months old) but its easy to learn and there are layers to master. im coming from maschine background, this feels more focused...and i guess fun. keen to support it because it is one of the most fun bits of kit i own.... definitely a collaborative instrument, both local and at distance - its slick enough to bounce ideas back and forth without getting stuck in techmire....once you put a power block on it... youre done...take it anywhere off to your mates. get the ideas, sketch the inspiration, see what happens and fill in the details later...its making me sing again and look at songs in a modular rather than linear way. so yeah it might not be all singing all dancing....but maybe the best bit of kit is the one you enjoy using. In a crowded market it feels something different.
I just bought one for 500 and can't wait to get my greedy paws on it! I just sent an MPC 1 back cause the workflow just want for me. This seems more immediately satisfying and I love that sequencer!
I feel like the design and workflow of the MV-1 is purposed toward the same part of my brain as playing an instrument. There's a depth of experience I've always lacked when making music in daws, my whole purpose for getting into hardware. So many devices go with more knobs and sliders and/or bigger screens but for me that obstructs the headspace between listening and creating. Its like the MV-1 aims to stay out of the way so you can be more direct and intuitive. So while ppl whine about the screen size and how this or that would have made it "perfect", this machine will be a sleeper. But eventually, the right people will get a hold of it, appreciate the objective of it's design, and give it the props it deserves. Like, everyone was asking for more candy and Roland handed them some broccoli.
Nice job. I wonder if you or someone has a comparison with all these new Roland groove box machines. MC;s TR's and the variation. IT is a bit overwhelming. Cheers!
This is such a great piece of gear, I definitely want to buy one. I've used roland juno-gi for a long time and I wanted to upgrade and found this baby.
I think I figured out a way to extend your recording time on the vocal track. All you have to do is mix down your entire song into a WAV file and then upload it as a sample in stereo. So if your song is 3 1/2 minutes, that gives you two and a half minutes in stereo to further add instruments via the input. Rince and repeat.
If you press edit, then style, you can scroll to hold and turn it on. To stop playing press style. Put variation to 12 and notif on chord and style to 53 and you get like a 16th per measure timing. I just had to figure all this out on my own because I don't see any of this information out there😅.
The unit looks great in fact and let's see how it "affects my workflow". QQ. The value/enter knob - it seems a bit loose (sitting less loosely compared to the other ones - obviously it needs the room for "this" click) How about the one you have been working with. Is it meant to be this way?
Very good video. No or very few of his own thoughts. A perfect overview. Straight and clear. This sounds a bit crap but i am looking for a workstaion. Want to ditch my macbook. How many extrrnal synths can this connect. I mean Minilogue to save on the song. Then connect another synth to record. Possible
It REALLY needs to be able to record the most common CCs to the sequences. I need sustain pedal (CC 64) from my midi keyboard to record to the sequences. PLEASE put this in the next update.
Re this device: Can somebody tell me why the "Mic On" Reverb and delay that are heard when auditioning my voice are never recorded with my vocals? I only hear my dry vocals. I just want the wet reverb and delay on my vocals. Please help.
Hi! Great video! To Edit ALL notelength in a sequence one by one, especially chords, takes a long time. Can it be done in a quicker way? Future request if not. Thanks!
Awesome. Can I use the pads as a MIDI controller into a synth? I’d like to set it up where one pad triggers a chord on the Roland JP-08. Is that possible?
clean ultra! the character is perfect! the colors laserreflection modern ... pastell laser too but not the right word... hmmm... wow wow wow and a happy time!
Love my Verselab. The only issue I have come across so far is that the tempo can only be set for the entire track. Not all songs are the same tempo throughout. It would be great if you could set specific tempos for different sections. Eg. section 1-10 @120 bpm, section 11-12 @100bpm then section 13 onwards back up to 120bpm. I can't find any way of doing this.
Aloha Recloose, I have seen several of your videos on the Roland DJ 707M, and now I have an ordered one. I was hoping you might be able to let me know how I might be able to link this unit with the DJ 707M to use in a live performance. I was thinking about getting either the MC-101 or MC-707 or one of the TR drum machines to use with the DJ 707M, but now I am thinking maybe this one I know that I can MIDI the DJ 707M to the MV-1 and alter the tempo with the 707M, but thought it would be cool to add drum beats and other sounds with the MV-1.
It’s has 16 tracks the problem is they only give you 12 mins. Like who is the person that said your recording vocals for a 4 min song? ya. you only need 12 mins. Verses, doubles, adlibs, chorus, vocal stacks, harmonies, ya 12 mins total.
@@achook9474 The problem is also that all those 16 tracks ends up on the same channel when I move them over to my DAW, I want all vocals on a separate channel in my daw, it is a mess to have them all together. Maybe it is different if I use Zenbeats, I hope so
More tracks over all and I do not understand all the settings on different places for the vocals, I want to add affects, record all the affects and have one DRY version (it should be easy to set that with one knob at one place?), I destroyed a whole recording using the vocal processer with a weird effect to it, so annoying, So very annoying
Hello Roland it will be necessary to solve the problem of copy paste of the step sequencer it does not work and it must be direct without the ok to finalize the step cordially
You can hook it up to a tablet or computer for a huge visualizer thats very clear. Too bad it's not on the machine but honestly that would have cost them a whole lot more I'm guessing and I'd rather have it like this than costing a thousand bucks. I just got a used one for $420+ shipping. Can't beat it.
Warmly Welcomed with thanks.Please can you provide feedback to devs to add UNDO with Shift and EDIT. Peter from Roland MV Users Independent Group on Facebook.
Can i sequence a synthesizer via midi? I was reading in the manual that the Verselab can do 128 steps. But only when using the internal tones and drum kits. If i can use it to controll external hardware, then how many steps can i build a sequence???
Hi! Can i move, copy , cut the vocal files? Can i record stereo audio track . For example if i wrote a song on keyboard and want to put it into verselab and make recording of my vicals instead of computer?
Thanks for the video! Very helpful, but I have a question. I’m new to this device and I cannot figure out how to pick which tracks play in a section. For example, if I have a piano on the KICK track and a synth pad on the SNARE track, how do I get just the piano to play on section 1 and both the piano and synth pad to play simultaneously on section 2? I tried muting the SNARE track on section 1, but now it’s muted on both sections 1 & 2. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Josh
Time for an update for Zenbeats and better support for vocals, and it would be great if you could edit each vocal on each pad later on in your daw as a separate recording. No support for vocals and how to set the automation and others for your vocals, that does not make this dawless. New sounds and a better way to handle samples in the MV1 or with Zenbeats and back into MV1 and from MV1 to Zenbeats and other DAW. Create a bracket for iPad and iPhones to the MV1 to make it work as a screen with the MV1 and all guys who complain that you do not have a screen get to chose a small or a big screen to work with. Easy ✨😊😃🎶
Excellent overview, you should really do that with other Roland products. As for the MV-1. It only lacks two things for me to consider buying it : - Add solo shortcut (like you did for mute in latest firmware) - Present the separate audio tracks on the USB generic class compliant mode (currently only mixdown from what I understand). Right now staying on Maschine+ & MC-101 but keeping an eye on this !
usb generic audio is usually 2 channels only... so maybe an option is to choose which 2 channels are used.. master LR or say track 3(stereo) or vocal track
@@cresshead there is no technical limit of generic driver. Check most others like Elektron, Native Instruments, Studiologic, pretty much any brand of mixer or independent sound card like Tascam, Presonus, A&E, all DJ equipment, they all present multitrack audio via generic USB. I thought of the mute trick but that would mean an 8 pass export at least and no ability to route to an iPad mixer like AUM to add it in a virtual setup on iOS. I don’t know why Roland sticks to proprietary drivers and provides either no generic mode or quite limited one on their groove boxes, synths and even DJ équipement. I was happily surprised of their implementation if class compliant audio on recent firmware of the MC 101/707. Maybe driven by their willing to integrate with mobile devices. So I have hopes they are heading to the right direction on this aspect.
Does Verselab supports ZEN-Core expansions, like Jupiter8 installed onto it? If yes, can I just buy lifetime license for a single instrument without any monthly plan?
@@SubliminalThaKid yeah, still struggling to get a clear answer on a simple question. Seem only independent person who has device and a extension license can only answer. Or you know it for sure?
Hello, could you pan individual takes on pads to the left and right or pan is just for whole vocal track? And can you export takes on each pad somehow? Peace!
Is this the same content as what will be in the Cloud Academy sessions for MV-1? Are those sessions recorded and saved? I work in the middle of the day when those will be occurring.
Hello! Would it be possible to program voice effects in "Pad's"? For example, programming the "Radio" effect in Pad-1 and pressing it turns the effect on and pressing it again turns the effect off?...
This comment is from the future from when this was made. Hopefully in my future, I would like to see manufacturers stop using sd cards or thumb drives and give us a network connection on your devices. I am willing to pay more for it.😁
hi, I am a bit stopped by the purchase because I would like to have concrete answers regarding the step recorder, let me explain (I try to explain myself better): I have a pc with my roland clouds inside, my intention to make those sounds interact with the my midi keyboard and be able to take advantage of the step recorder and verselab registration. the chain should be like this: 1) PC (the sounds) + 2) MIDI KEYBOARD (to play them), to be able to play the sounds from the pc with the midi keyboard or create (always with the pc sounds and the midi keyboard) sequences, arpeggios and being able to change the chord with the keyboard on the arpeggio created with the 3) VERSELAB. I hope there is someone who understands my intentions :-)
Question: when changing pattern mesurses , (lets say to 4) i don't see an indicator anywhere. How will I know when I'm nearing the end of the 4th mesure? Is it only by listening? Thanks in advance
The light is lately illuminated underneath the octave buttons. I believe you hold down edit and hit the octave right button. One dot equals four bars. You're welcome but the manual tells you all of this, all you need to do is keyword searches.
I just bought it because it doesn’t rely on a screen. I work on a Mac all day and wanted something without a screen to make songs. This is the only device that has full song making features without a screen. Thanks
Roland are you going to be able to give us more recording time? 12 mins is not a enough to record vocals, doubles, choruses, adlibs, harmonies etc.. this isn’t the 1990’s. It should be at least 24 mins of recording time.
I downloaded the sound packs Exaple "crystal" Placed the SDZ in the sound folder for Mv1 They work but i can not hear them until i put it on the pad How do i preview these?
Please make MV-1 a fully mapped controller for Zenbeats while allowing the audio interface to record vocals str8 into Zenbeats projects. The current integration is dismal and quite embarrassing at this point. It’s been years.
😔 This takes practice. If you are novice. Start with how to use the buttons and their features. Download the manual and the upgrade bug fixes. Read the manual like the word and watch the video.😉
Yeah, I was impressed by how this presenter flowed through so many sections and aspects. But I could get frustrated before long. I’m interested in playing my bass in and creating samples, and maybe a synth in to do the same. I have a Korg MS2000. Also a good Yamaha. Neither has usb.
Roland YOU HAVE TO MAKE SAMPLE start and end point editing faster. Even holding shift. It takes forever. It edits at 100’s. And 1000’s Looks like it Needs editing at 10,000’s If I copy a 8 second sample to all pads. And do my editing on samples per pad. It would take 30 minutes if my hands don’t cramp up. Easier on the 404 , mv 8000, S-330 , mc 909, mc 808. All of which. I have owned. If you want this thing to compete with AKAI. FIX THIS. ASAP. That one thing is making it a deal breaker. I don’t want to slice that’s hit or miss I want full control over sample editing per pad per sample. In the box 📦 and need it to be fast . This thing could have taken a bunch of Akai one sales BUT . You have to be able to fly on the sample editing I had hopes of clearing out a bunch of gear from my studio and work strictly on the MV-1 but now I’m not so sure .
Press EDIT->Sequencer Step->Then MOTION->Then grab your right knee->Turn your body Counter Clockwise->Hold SHIFT->Then TURN CTRL+1 halfway to the left. 😂😂
You go through things on a too high level. I get what you can do but how to delete what you recorded on a track for example. Basic things. Full tutorial series on that like for the 101??
check out Roland's FREE online learning courses for MV-1 where you can get a free online group lesson: www.roland.com/us/roland_cloud_academy/synth_aira/
Summary: To make a simple beat, just press shift while holding the value button while adjusting the pad control while browsing through 10000 menu items on a 2 line display. Using only two hands, no cheating!
1:26 - or *a* mobile battery? You mean, an additional product that isn't included in the device? Getting really annoyed with "feature-faking" by groovebox makers in their promo materials. Should have said "there is NO built-in battery but you can lug around a floppy power block that will cost you extra if you want to power this incomplete device on the go by footing the bill to make it more-complete because we didn't want to, manufacturing-side of the equation, but are now trying to brush it off and make it seem like it's battery-operated by glossing over the fact that it simply needs *a* mobile battery but not specifying none will be included in the hefty price tag of the device itself

It’s has 16 tracks the problem is they only give you 12 mins. Like who is the person that said your recording vocals for a 4 min song? ya. you only need 12 mins. Verses, doubles, adlibs, chorus, vocal stacks, harmonies, ya 12 mins total.
@@achook9474 The problem is also that all those 16 tracks ends up on the same channel when I move them over to my DAW, I want all vocals on a separate channel in my daw, it is a mess to have them all together. Maybe it is different if I use Zenbeats, I hope so
More tracks over all and I do not understand all the settings on different places for the vocals, I want to add affects, record all the affects and have one DRY version (it should be easy to set that with one knob at one place?), I destroyed a whole recording using the vocal processer with a weird effect to it, so annoying, So very annoying
Can i chain clips together to achive a long epic synth futuristic space type melody that exceeds 8 bars?
Hello Roland it will be necessary to solve the problem of copy paste of the step sequencer it does not work and it must be direct without the ok to finalize the step
cordially
Amazing ... besides just one problem.... That tiny screen is very , very disappointing.
You can hook it up to a tablet or computer for a huge visualizer thats very clear. Too bad it's not on the machine but honestly that would have cost them a whole lot more I'm guessing and I'd rather have it like this than costing a thousand bucks. I just got a used one for $420+ shipping. Can't beat it.
Would this be good for performing live on stage? Or is this only for studio work? Is this like Ableton in a box?
in a nutshell I would use the Verselab as a step recorder and as a final recording of a complete project
Rolandで、mv1の様な、音楽総合性制作マシンは、他に出てますか？
Warmly Welcomed with thanks.Please can you provide feedback to devs to add UNDO with Shift and EDIT. Peter from Roland MV Users Independent Group on Facebook.
Hi! Undo is a must have feature for a good workflow. Why is it so difficult to implement from the beginning Roland?
Can i sequence a synthesizer via midi?
I was reading in the manual that the Verselab can do 128 steps. But only when using the internal tones and drum kits.
If i can use it to controll external hardware, then how many steps can i build a sequence???
Interesting product. Not sure how you’re marketing the unit. Where is the fun?
Does anyone know if there's a hold or latch to continue playing after one pad press?
Can you make it to where you can record podcast on it?!
Hi! Can i move, copy , cut the vocal files? Can i record stereo audio track . For example if i wrote a song on keyboard and want to put it into verselab and make recording of my vicals instead of computer?
If they are .wav or mp3 files I believe you can do this !
Hy Roland. can i edit the notes of each Patten on editor Software on PC? That would be the greatest thing
Question how do you add "Bars" in other words the length pf the pattern?
Thanks for the video! Very helpful, but I have a question. I’m new to this device and I cannot figure out how to pick which tracks play in a section. For example, if I have a piano on the KICK track and a synth pad on the SNARE track, how do I get just the piano to play on section 1 and both the piano and synth pad to play simultaneously on section 2? I tried muting the SNARE track on section 1, but now it’s muted on both sections 1 & 2. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Josh
Copy both in to another section, then delete the instrument you dont want to hear.
Select the instrument and press CLEAR + NOTE
Jajajaaa..very good...buen aparato musical...
Time for an update for Zenbeats and better support for vocals, and it would be great if you could edit each vocal on each pad later on in your daw as a separate recording. No support for vocals and how to set the automation and others for your vocals, that does not make this dawless. New sounds and a better way to handle samples in the MV1 or with Zenbeats and back into MV1 and from MV1 to Zenbeats and other DAW. Create a bracket for iPad and iPhones to the MV1 to make it work as a screen with the MV1 and all guys who complain that you do not have a screen get to chose a small or a big screen to work with. Easy ✨😊😃🎶
A bigger screen is unnecessary. Once you own a mv1 and learn to use it, you will understand what I mean.
when I try to scroll through my sounds I can't hear anything it won't even play anything it'll just play the demo songs when I record
Excellent overview, you should really do that with other Roland products.
As for the MV-1. It only lacks two things for me to consider buying it :
- Add solo shortcut (like you did for mute in latest firmware)
- Present the separate audio tracks on the USB generic class compliant mode (currently only mixdown from what I understand).
Right now staying on Maschine+ & MC-101 but keeping an eye on this !
usb generic audio is usually 2 channels only... so maybe an option is to choose which 2 channels are used.. master LR or say track 3(stereo) or vocal track
you can already get around this with mutes.. just mute everything you don't want and let that go out the LR on generic drivers for ios
@@cresshead there is no technical limit of generic driver. Check most others like Elektron, Native Instruments, Studiologic, pretty much any brand of mixer or independent sound card like Tascam, Presonus, A&E, all DJ equipment, they all present multitrack audio via generic USB.
I thought of the mute trick but that would mean an 8 pass export at least and no ability to route to an iPad mixer like AUM to add it in a virtual setup on iOS.
I don’t know why Roland sticks to proprietary drivers and provides either no generic mode or quite limited one on their groove boxes, synths and even DJ équipement.
I was happily surprised of their implementation if class compliant audio on recent firmware of the MC 101/707. Maybe driven by their willing to integrate with mobile devices.
So I have hopes they are heading to the right direction on this aspect.
@@alexandrosroussos with electron you need overbridge i believe
korg, novation don't do audio over usb at all.. be thankful for what you have!!!
24 audio tracks over usb is quite a task with out a specific driver i tihnk.
Does Verselab supports ZEN-Core expansions, like Jupiter8 installed onto it? If yes, can I just buy lifetime license for a single instrument without any monthly plan?
No the guy who commented is wrong. This does not support the new sound models like the Jupiter 8. Only the zen core packs
@@SubliminalThaKid yeah, still struggling to get a clear answer on a simple question. Seem only independent person who has device and a extension license can only answer. Or you know it for sure?
Hello, could you pan individual takes on pads to the left and right or pan is just for whole vocal track? And can you export takes on each pad somehow? Peace!
Search the manual with key words. You're asking somebody else to do the work for you.
But yes, you can do all that and much more
Is this the same content as what will be in the Cloud Academy sessions for MV-1? Are those sessions recorded and saved? I work in the middle of the day when those will be occurring.
Hello!
Would it be possible to program voice effects in "Pad's"? For example, programming the "Radio" effect in Pad-1 and pressing it turns the effect on and pressing it again turns the effect off?...
This comment is from the future from when this was made. Hopefully in my future, I would like to see manufacturers stop using sd cards or thumb drives and give us a network connection on your devices. I am willing to pay more for it.😁
scatter efect for the next update pleeeeease
This intro is a total bummer
I have finish connecting my cables but the sound is not coming out
They have to cut down on shift edit labyrinth
or I have to cut down smoking😏
hi, I am a bit stopped by the purchase because I would like to have concrete answers regarding the step recorder, let me explain (I try to explain myself better): I have a pc with my roland clouds inside, my intention to make those sounds interact with the my midi keyboard and be able to take advantage of the step recorder and verselab registration. the chain should be like this: 1) PC (the sounds) + 2) MIDI KEYBOARD (to play them), to be able to play the sounds from the pc with the midi keyboard or create (always with the pc sounds and the midi keyboard) sequences, arpeggios and being able to change the chord with the keyboard on the arpeggio created with the 3) VERSELAB. I hope there is someone who understands my intentions :-)
Massimo you can hook a midi Keyboard to your verselabe and make your own chords not sure if that was your talking about
I would very much prefer the Mpc One over this device! The only thing that’s actually appealing is the synth engine and that is it!
Question: when changing pattern mesurses , (lets say to 4) i don't see an indicator anywhere. How will I know when I'm nearing the end of the 4th mesure? Is it only by listening?
Thanks in advance
The light is lately illuminated underneath the octave buttons. I believe you hold down edit and hit the octave right button. One dot equals four bars. You're welcome but the manual tells you all of this, all you need to do is keyword searches.
I feel like roland is delivering raw materials, when are they going to bring something truly refined?
Is there any way to get the clips to cut one another off?
this would have been amazing if they had a proper screen on the unit. would rather the MPC one, the tracker, or the blackbox.
You can add you iPad or phone to it
@@magnuseriksson8081 Can you add a laptop to it to get a bigger display?
@@Culture_of_Ghosts For the settings, yes, but I wish the added more possibilities through that interface with Zenbeats
I just bought it because it doesn’t rely on a screen. I work on a Mac all day and wanted something without a screen to make songs. This is the only device that has full song making features without a screen. Thanks
When will it be available in the United States?
It is available but due to high demand might be difficult to find atm. Keep checking your dealers, there is more inventory coming.
i think maybe it's good that they are backed up so maybe by the time i get one all the bugs are already worked out...
how to add adlibs if there's only 1 vocal track?
You have up to 16 takes on the vocal track that can be layered and placed or repeated anywhere in the song arrangement.
@@recloose2041 ahhh 💡 ok i get it.
grat machine and yet another... medicore tutorial (musically)
Roland are you going to be able to give us more recording time? 12 mins is not a enough to record vocals, doubles, choruses, adlibs, harmonies etc.. this isn’t the 1990’s. It should be at least 24 mins of recording time.
I downloaded the sound packs Exaple "crystal" Placed the SDZ in the sound folder for Mv1 They work but i can not hear them until i put it on the pad How do i preview these?
Hold done program/load button to preview
@@exile6308 Thank You
Please make MV-1 a fully mapped controller for Zenbeats while allowing the audio interface to record vocals str8 into Zenbeats projects. The current integration is dismal and quite embarrassing at this point. It’s been years.
Really weird that the one thing that could use a screen the most is vocals, and they didn’t add it. I don’t get it.
Wow
😔 This takes practice. If you are novice. Start with how to use the buttons and their features. Download the manual and the upgrade bug fixes. Read the manual like the word and watch the video.😉
Yeah, I was impressed by how this presenter flowed through so many sections and aspects. But I could get frustrated before long.
I’m interested in playing my bass in and creating samples, and maybe a synth in to do the same. I have a Korg MS2000. Also a good Yamaha. Neither has usb.
💚

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SAMPLE start and end point editing faster. Even holding shift. It takes forever. It edits at 100’s. And 1000’s
Looks like it Needs editing at 10,000’s
If I copy a 8 second sample to all pads.
And do my editing on samples per pad. It would take 30 minutes if my hands don’t cramp up.
Easier on the 404 , mv 8000, S-330 , mc 909, mc 808. All of which. I have owned. If you want this thing to compete with AKAI. FIX THIS. ASAP.
That one thing is making it a deal breaker.
I don’t want to slice that’s hit or miss
I want full control over sample editing per pad per sample. In the box 📦 and need it to be fast . This thing could have taken a bunch of Akai one sales BUT .
You have to be able to fly on the sample editing
I had hopes of clearing out a bunch of gear from my studio and work strictly on the MV-1 but now I’m not so sure .
Press EDIT->Sequencer Step->Then MOTION->Then grab your right knee->Turn your body Counter Clockwise->Hold SHIFT->Then TURN CTRL+1 halfway to the left. 😂😂
You go through things on a too high level. I get what you can do but how to delete what you recorded on a track for example. Basic things. Full tutorial series on that like for the 101??
check out Roland's FREE online learning courses for MV-1 where you can get a free online group lesson: www.roland.com/us/roland_cloud_academy/synth_aira/
@@descry1 Again, would be great if you did tutorials as you see for the 101 so we can go back and have another look when we forget
Reclouse is skilled but to stressed to be a good tutorial “teacher” thx anyway
Summary: To make a simple beat, just press shift while holding the value button while adjusting the pad control while browsing through 10000 menu items on a 2 line display. Using only two hands, no cheating!
At first I thought it was going to be a nightmare but once you build some muscle memory it's really fun to use
Fire the videographer... poor tutor has a light reflection covering one of his eyes the whole time!
Man you could have taken care of non native english speakers and could have explained things slower
sorry but this guy is dressed goofy with that biggass shirt and the roland verselab being so tiny doesn't help
1:26 - or *a* mobile battery? You mean, an additional product that isn't included in the device? Getting really annoyed with "feature-faking" by groovebox makers in their promo materials. Should have said "there is NO built-in battery but you can lug around a floppy power block that will cost you extra if you want to power this incomplete device on the go by footing the bill to make it more-complete because we didn't want to, manufacturing-side of the equation, but are now trying to brush it off and make it seem like it's battery-operated by glossing over the fact that it simply needs *a* mobile battery but not specifying none will be included in the hefty price tag of the device itself
Calm down, Karen.
Even the 707 has a sample editor with wave form better than this, wtf... Bring back the MV-8800
You don't understand what this is, or who it is for. If you want a sample focused production box, you grab an MPC. This is for solo artists.
