I no longer use an MPC. I bought the MV-8800 almost a year ago from a pawn shop for $400, just because. It sat in my studio and I kept telling myself everyday that I'm going to touch it. My friend linked me this video, and I unhooked my mpc2500, bought all the manuals for the MV-8800 off of ebay, and I will never touch an mpc again. Oh did I mention that I have a 60 II, 2000xl, and a 3000. I might just midi the 2500 with the MV, and thats because of the midi outputs. Thanks Mike!!!
Jomo Kinsey if you have a 3k...you should find a way to get that in the chain somewhere. Great A/D converter on that joint.
Groundhog X....you were right. I bought the vailixi 3.5 and fixed my screen for the MPC 3000, a much needed weaponry. It is now in the chain and they all have their contributions depending on the quality of sound you’re going for.
They still are trying to catch the MV...
You could’ve downloaded the manuals for free.
Views by drone I like to touch things, something about reading from an iPad seems weird. Don’t get me wrong I read from a screen a lot, but I like to highlight things that I’m trying to commit to memory and make book marks. I don’t want to turn something on just to get to a certain part of the book. I just want to open and boom.
The MV has so many weapons hidden in plain sight. For example the MV has the authoritative low end of any sampler period. That's because unbeknownst to most users the MV is the only drum sampler with a genuine subharmonic synth. It's not an EQ. It literally makes sub-bass from the material sent through it just like the DBX units it's patterned after. In fact it was a staple of all of the old school big stack sound systems from guys like Gary Stewart and Richard Long. That thing will turn a tap on the shoulder to a dropkick to your chest.
* I'm never selling mine.
Can you explain how to make sub-bass from the material sent through it, as you say?? thanks

I bought the MV-8800 because of Mike Acosta. Onto another thought, could we petition Roland to do an MV-9000 and hire Mike to consult on the features and design like the MV-8800 upgraded of course?
Roland MV 8800 in da house.
Thx Guys for showing the rest of the world what they SERIOUSLY SLEPT ON. As you mentioned, there are many of us old MV-NATION members that still use them to this day. An YES, having your vids changed our creative lives forever. They inspired so many new sessions. I still have my MV8000, with the OP1 (unicorn). And will get an 8800 in the future. Keep up the great work, and thx for all the previous guidance. Peace...Netm8kr
mpc4000 hard drive is making lots of noise...lol quick fix but....ima tear it down and fully rebuild it....gonna buy an mv8800 this week man....i really love the vids i been watching on it...and the effects...never been able to use any effects on my mpc4000 since i purchased it...so yeah looking fwd to mixing my tracks in the box into the 404's....but yeah been stalking ya old instagram vids mane!!!
No doubt bruh, It's mutual. Now, it's easy to see why I've swore by the MV for years. Hell, seeing you with the Roland Stampede lately has truly inspired.
Netm8kr -wasnt slept on.......the thing is huge......
that op1 is so hard to find.. i want one for my 8800
I rocked with both MVs the 8000 and the 8800, and Mike's tutorial videos were my personal operator's manual. The MV definitely took my creativity to a new level. Awesome experience!
This was genuine as fuck. No holding back, as if one were nervous to step on the toes of brand relationships. Honest criticism, but also A LOT of HONEST praise. Real opinion.
Very refreshing.
Had the original MV 8000 now I have the 8800- they are the center piece of my studio. Roland should make new ones! If you want a rock solid Midi/audio Sequencer - this is it!
I totally agree on your statement!
I love this machine. Because of the mv i bought the sp555 and the mute solo mode alone helped me figure out tracking out all of my tracks from mv songs to 4, 8 bar phrases dumping them into the SP555 and launching 3, 4,5 buttons at once per song on the 555 so I could assign effects per track live. I need to make a video soon because I feel a lot of home producers don't realize the capability and accessibility to invent new ways to use these live. Thank you Jim and Mike straight up heroes
That you guys keep getting caught up having fun doing different things while trying to explain the machine is testament enough to how good it can be.
My bruhs thank you for the shout out for the love we share for the MV8000/MV8800. Gentlemen thank you and you all are blessings to mankind. Continued success and your little bruh is still grinding down in Colorado Springs. Love DJ Baby G.
George Coleman thank you and your most welcome!
Thank You!
A fellow Colorado Springs resident, unexpected :)
Thank you for showing this, and explaining it in a way that's different than you hear from all Hiphop producers. When Mike came to my Guitar Center I worked at in the early 00's (2003/04 I think it was) I had hated this machine. I came from the classic TR step sequence type drum machines, and the MPC's we were selling as the "hiphop beat box" and these were EXPENSIVE for the time ($2,000 if my memory serves me right). I remember our MV-8k sitting in the corner right next to the V-Synth and other Roland products and it rarely even got turned on. Most people looked at it and hated the pad feeling compared to the MPC4k and later MPC500/1k (which I think really didn't help the MV sales). Also, like you mentioned, it was a nightmare to program. Back then we had to get certified on our gear, (A/B/C certs for GC) and I was an A-Cert holder that could barely figure out how to even lay the most basic track. Mike came in and showed it being an awesome machine, but a hiphop machine. Which, in the Villa Park, IL store there was SOME hiphop, but nowhere near what the latin market or even synth market was. I mean we were pushing Andromeda A6's, MS2k's, V-Synths, etc. out of there. Also at the time you had A LOT of hiphop and R&B producers in the area using Korg Tritons to produce, so it was definitely harder to go "no, those machines are good, but look at this new weird thing that's trying something totally different, to do what you're already doing." Also, the fact that EVERYONE in the hiphop industry at the time were using MPC's & Tritons and NO ONE (at the time) was backing the MV (obviously, later RZA came out and championed the machine, but at this point, no one was backing it). Even I, back then, was in the market for a sampler, looked at this and passed it up to buy an Akai S-5000 we had used in the store because I've never been a hiphop producer, never will be, and it just wasn't my thing. Fast forward to 2015. I was looking for a hardware sequencer. MPC's were still kicking and had 4 MIDI-outs to control my vintage synth collection, but I just happen to catch a MV-8000 w/ OP-1 online for $300. Did some fast research on the changes. Found some industrial artists (what I produce) talking about it's power and how it works with up to 32 external synths at once. I said "fuck it" and bought it. It took me forever still to really get into the nitty gritty. This box, to this day, is the most powerful hardware sequencer I've worked with. We have Octatraks, digitraks, all kinds of new stuff, and nothing even compares even CLOSELY to how powerful this machine is. I use it in the studio, live, etc. I've since dropped a 512mb RAM & 120gb SSD hard drive into it which basically means I never have to hook it to a computer other than to record audio (still using a DAW as I don't like the mastering tools in the MV directly). This, combined with my Akai S5000 is almost a complete live rig for a 30-60 layer industrial project since the S5000 can run sample directly off the HDD (something I felt the MV really missed the mark with) instead of having to load to RAM first and you can drop a SSD in it too or, in my case, SCSI2SD and give it a 512gb mini-SD card. Anyways, back to the MV. I only use it as a sampler live. Otherwise in the studio it's a MIDI sequencer of monumental power. 1 MIDI keyboard to control the whole room directly into the MV, and you can map each instrument as a MIDI track. Throw in that amazing quantization, humanization, etc. and you can make old drum machines sound alive. Got a Kawai R-50e that can now have powerful quantization and humanization, something it could never have before. I realize the hiphop market was the place to originally sell these, but Roland REALLY missed the opportunity with other genres being pushed aside or even ignored, that could have eventually added extra sales and maybe we'd have a MV-10k these days. I'd give anything to have a more modern MV-8k, but until they make a machine that can sample like it does (easily), sequence 2 or more chains of MIDI (16 channel per chain), have basically a VST bassline synth in it, have the effects suite this has, and isn't a computer program, I'll stick with my MV-8000 as my go-to machine for almost everything MIDI.
Good to see you around Mike. I miss MVNation. That forum was one of the reasons I bought my MV-8000 in the first place. I'm an original owner of an MV and very lucky to have ordered the MV8-OP1 immediately upon walking off the showroom floor with my MV. It's such an underrated machine and not one that I'll ever get rid of. Count me in the camp of people that would love to see an updated MV from Roland.
dude that thing was obsolete to find like a year after the 8800 was released, unfair lol
The best investment I've ever had musically...
That downsampling/bit reduction sounds so good though
Big Facts!!!!
This box got mad tricks up its sleeves.
Hopefully Roland will bring this beast back, or a new MC!
Man the power and how far ahead of its time is priceless. Got mine in 2012. I still go back and watch all you guys old videos that made me buy it. Also Waxdat88 is guru for 88/8 users, gotta peep his videos they're incredible. Since I'm not a big software/midi guy I track out my stems to the mix down folder then drag and drop to logic and they lock up perfectly as long as the bpm is set the same. And song mode is big feature being able to have 16 songs in one project, that was another game changer for me. I could honestly On for days about the mv. It will go to the grave with me
This one off the best sampler/ workstation ever made, thank for a great video.
This has quickly become my favorite series, love hearing these guys talk!
Great gear chat. Got my first mv8800 3 years ago and actually shut my laptop and use it as my centerpiece. Picked up a 2nd MV8800 about a month and a half ago brand new in the box. Dropped fat pads, ssd, and a bunch of patches from S700 series, plus my own collections of samples from over a decade of collecting. Two midi outs going into active thru boxes and I'm sequencing 10 synths with it all live. MV Nation is back up by the way. Also Roland Clan forum still has activity and also mvrevisited, plus the facebook group very active too. Nice demo you did here and I learned something new off just this one. Great that you got an MV8800 again Mike!
Hey, i'm thinking of buying one but got some concerns about the machine would be good for making soundtrackish/ambient music, i'm reading you got plenty of synths hooked up, this is what i want to do, i'm wondering how is this working out for you? Is the sequencing good for external gear ? thanks.
Lennart Steyn Works great. The MV's have two midi outs, one midi in, so my master keyboard goes midi out to the mv in, and midi outs on the mv go to kenton 1 in, 5 out active powered midi thru boxes and on to my external gear. If the gear has midi thru also, it can be expanded more or even plug another 5 out thru into one of the outs for more gear. One of the outs routs back to master keyboard and drives its 4 part VA synth. Multitimbral synths also get you more tracks for the midi out from the mv. I have a mix of analog, VA, rompler, and even another grain sampler all being driven by the two midi outs of the mv and the kenton thru boxes. Another guy on youtube has a copperlan pc software setup controlling midi over ethernet to converters on external gear. Lots of mv videos out on youtube also. Sequencer is one of the best I've ever used of both hardware and software.
Hey ... I’m curious what you paid for that new in box MV8800?... sounds like a nice find that likely couldn’t be passed up! Are you running both synced side by side? Also does the ssd improve loading times much. Never used one but am researching and shopping for one now.
I met Mike a couple of times while he was with Roland and he was always informative and helpful with my questions with the MV 8000. I thank you Mike, it was really appreciated
Your welcome!
Mike Acosta are we long lost brothers? lol I'm a Filipino Acosta. I have your Geist expansion pack. I love it
Hello Mike, Just a little question being you are professional I need your input. What should I buy Roland MV-8800 or Akai Mpc X?
Looking forward for your reply. Thanks in advance.
Thats a tough call, its really subjective and both machines will have their pro's and cons. You'll need to consider what your workflow is and ultimately what your looking to get out of the machine. The MV is clearly over 10 years old, so the new MPC will have the nice color touch screen and modern tech specs such as faster USB, SSD drive support, stand-alone and computer integrated software. The MV however will still have its own unique features, sound and workflow which to many is unmatched but slower USB 1 connection etc etc. Best of both worlds is to have both but you'll really need to do your homework and test out an MPC and then see if ou can find someone who has an MV that knows it very well and then make decision for yourself.
Thank you for the input Mike Acosta and respect....! Just ordered my MPC X and Roland MV8800 + MV8 OP-1 someone is selling for 1000 dollars. Thinking to buy that too if my budget allow.
Mike's demo of the MV is why I purchased it years ago. I'm never selling my machine - it's so good.
I'm in Costa Rica and I saw ALL Mike Acosta videos before buying the MV8800. I'm sure after these new video the price of an used MV is going UP and UP! ....
Gracias por este maravilloso video!
I use the FX section with samples to this day. The box has its own unique sound. Primarily work in Ableton but I'll never let this unit go. 😎
once I saw Mike Acosta demo this joint I was sold. I ordered the the expansion with the extra outputs when I ordered it glad I did. I love this machine since day one. never really understood why people didn't like it but I believe it was the learning curve but that's what I actually enjoyed about it. because once you figured it out? there was very little that you couldn't accomplish.
This was great. Long Live the MV...ahead of its time. Still have my 8000 w/ MVOP1. Was probably the most productive when I was constantly using this....always wished they did one more release of this product. My jaw dropped when Mike said he got rid of his MV. For some reason I just always assumed he had a few sitting around. To find out he got rid of it (gave it back no less), left me like "huh ?'" If anyone should always have an MV it's Mike...glad to see you got one back in your possession !! Good tip on the "new" MVNation Facebook spot, just tried to visit MvNation about two weeks ago only to find it was now gone and George wasn't picking it back up...
They got a new version of the site at "www.mv-nation.com"
Since Mvnation.com IS DOWN, what is the best website for help? I heard there is a facebook
group but I cannot find it.
Dope video. Roland really needs to surprise us all and build a new MV.
Your right
Got my MV8800 STILL, with the OP1! STILL loving her
Wanted an MV8800 back when they came out in 2007 but my 16 year old self couldn't afford it. Just messed around at GC whenever I could. I'm mostly a vintage hardware guy (SP1200/S950/ASR) and have a couple *gasp* MPC 4000's, but I've always wanted to give the MV a shot. This video just sealed it, thanks guys.
Wow, I didn't realise the mv8800 could do half of this stuff, thanks I love this channel.
Also the mpc2000xl were actually pretty good quality. I think the perfect starter machine for its simplicity, price range, and a great sequencer. The sound wasn't bad didn't really have the character of the early mpcs but again not a bad machine. Ide like to play one of these machines to really give an opinion on it but from the demo these guys did it seems like a great machine
Mike Acosta! The MV God, good to see you around man.
Thank you sir!
Great MV Chat guys, with all that was said in this video, can we imagine what Roland could do now, with today's technology! I can imagine the new MV-One (Ala XBox One); with current MV features on full tilt. Roland are you still in the 'game'? Let's Go!!!
KeysBeMe That would be awesome! However Mike mentioned it is barely possible. And I think Roland company perceives it as a flop. but maybe they will come one day to idea to make a hybrid type mashine like MPC Renaissance but based on MV features. No need in doint the Daw thing. +rolands convertors. Software wise I would do Just the vst with sample manipulation and mfx section. This will be enough. And I personally will buy it right away
Still my favorite to this day, but you know that already Mike lol. Nice!
I still have my mv- 8000 great vibe ,i love my 8000
very cool to see you guys talking about the mv I have a 8000 I picked up for 500 two years back upgraded the ram ro 512 and 80 gb hd I use it every day will never get ride of it....great video guys
Timing is everything! I started with the MV8000 and I purchased a MV8800 a month ago. Thanks for a great video!
Nice to see that little baby is still in speak. I have a MV8000 and I love it!
Use it still today. Grab one if you can get it!
The swing is where the Magic’s 🪄 at……… awesome video
yes i gotta give a super big thanks to MIKE A, your lessons on the MV both 8 and 88, has shown me why till this day i will always use an keep banging my MV, trust me, an even though i own a 2oooxl,5000,2500, an the studio black 1 thang i will take to the Grave with me is the knowing that roland put there foot in the industries ass with the MV8-88, WHAT other hard ware sampler u know comes with the worlds best MASTERING SECTION, that actually gives the owner a actual PROFESSIONAL COMPLETE MASTERED PROJECT. an honestly out off all my years of Producing Projects, all the Mastered songs done threw my MV still sounds the most Powerful an most Amazing. this piece of machinery will always be at the top, somethings u just can't top. thanks agin to MIKE AND EVERYONE OVER AT ROLAND. IM TRULLY BLESSED TO HAVE THIS DEVICE IN MY STUDIO.
I want to cry. I remember seeing Mike long ago as a product ambassador. I went into learning deeply about the check functions for midi per track. Such is a number system. When I did do this I completed a new song that is confirmed is very advanced. My mom told me she could tell I was making it advanced.
I just got my hands on an MV, this is the 2nd time I've had one.... Honestly at this point in my life I don't ever want to learn or be bothered with any other drum machine, sampler or groovebox.... The MV is still capable so there's no point in learning anything else, there's still enough stuff in the MV to hold my creativity for many more years to come
Right
I feel the same.
Definitely execution is never there for many users. But this device will keep old players who've kept the MV 8800 busy for decades. I can't wait to get mine out of storage this November. I'll use it like never before, but will have my Steinberg Audio Interface handy.
I have own all three MPC's the 2000, 2000XL, and the 5000 but when I bought the MV-8800 I never looked back. Many people didn't like the MV because the didn't understand the the quantize.
I almost took the MV-8800 back to Guitar Center because I thought timing on this thing was horrible until I final figured out how to use the quantize after owning for year.
You could also reccord 8 tracks of audio on the MV-8800. Then Akai came out with the MPC 5000 that also allowed you to record 8 tracks of audio but it is still no where as good as the 8 track recorder on the MV-8800. With the MPC5000 you have to sequence your pattern and then you have to dub it down to a two track stereo sample and then you have to export it to the 8 track recorder mode.
With MV it works like a linear recording DAW system. Sequence and 8 track audio recording done within the same screen, this so much better than exporting to different from sequencer screen into the audio mode like on the MPC 5000.
Thanks for this info.
Planned to watch a few minutes and stayed till the end. One of the best gear videos I've seen in a while.
Long live the mv's
You right Mike did changed the way I look at not only studio but live gear when I seen him demo the MV8800 I purchase it and to this it still resides in my studio. I own every MPC on the planet including the new MPC X and I must say the MV 8800 was ahead of its time.
Thanks David!
This was great thanks . Bought a Mv8000 and Mv8800 in 2007 after watching Mike. Thanks Mike your a legend!
Thank you sir!
Great piece of music gear
the best drum machine ever
Just got one of these, really enjoying the insights and history lesson of why the "old skool but hi-spec all in one analog DAW" mystique of this big gray elephant machine drew me in over selling off so many "compartmental competitors" to it. Don't yet know if it'll be the one but on paper and in theory it will be. I'll know in 2 months when I get back home to try it
The best advice I can give is to be patient. I wasn't a fan when I first got it but now that I've got the workflow down, I love it.
Well… what’s the verdict? Lol
@@UrbanJournalAy sorry I actually am just getting back to my home country and moving in to my new housing. I put the 8800 on my desk, and in a few days I'll be moved in fully. So I guess give me another month or 2 😁
@@connorcarbon 😂😂😂 oh ok
Thanks Jim and Mike What a great Trip down memory lane in this video,interesting to know how crippled it was in its original Prototypes,guess it could have been a complete failure without some intervention from you guys and your feedback its thanks to Mike that I got hooked on the MV8800 back in 2008,(and thanks to Jim for his V-Synth XT demo that I bought one of those too)I'm a hardware Guy and the MV8800 is still the hub of my setup almost 10 years later,gear has come and gone since then but I'll never part with the MV,the Fantom G6 I had came close to replacing it,but Roland made a huge Faux pas by not porting over the complete MV sequencer into it,the sequencer was great with the large screen but it lacked a lot of the immediacy of the MV and was hugely frustrating to use after working with the MV interface.
I do hope Roland revisit the MV line in the future I'd like to have a proper Rompler/Analog engine inside which was extra rather than reliant on using the sampler to bring in sounds and the addition of plenty of Audio Recording tracks,even if Roland don't remake this line I'm sure the 8800 will be still be rocking my setup for many years to come,I've used loads of MPCs and Hardware sequencers over the years and nothings ever really rivalled the MV8800 for ease of use I've tried out the MPCx recently it's a great machine and great updated MPC concept but still lacks a lot of the MV's immediacy
Thanks David!
'This thing cant hang with MPC 4 thow wow' ROFL!!! Best story ever!
Awesome vid as always guys...love the Gear Chat vids! Any chance of a Gear Chat featuring the Korg Wavestation?
Mike Thanks for paying homage to a great piece of equipment . I will never get rid of mine!
No problem its a classic that must be given its due respect.
I had a mv-8000 withe the vga and the expander. I remember this guy. I had a ball on mine unfortunately it died in a fire with my fantom. I loved it 😍
Love the MV! Long live The Nation! Thanks Mike! 👽👍
man i love this kinda talk man.
Now if you two can get Roland to reissue those hard to find MV8-OP1 expansions...or the MV itself like EMU did with the SP1200??? Those things would fly off the shelves, trust and believe!!
ReediusMaximus you don't need the Op-1 tbh... i actually like saving each stem as a wav, putting them all into a folder, and transferring the trackouts..
Hey Mike, I've got to tell you what a great influence you've had on so many producers across all genres. I produce Trance (I know you'll get a kick out of that), but I actually started with the MV and still have 3 8000's and 1 8800. I am a hybrid hardware / PC DAW guy and the MVs are an integral part of my workflow regardless of the arrangement. I'm also getting ready to start selling some high-quality hardware pieces just for the 8000 and 8800 (aftermarket VGA / mouse board with HDMI and USB mouse capabilities) and a PC interface board that brings MV video directly back into your PC along with digital audio going both ways along with MIDI so that you can control your MV in your PC DAW like a vsti plugin while viewing the real MV display and controlling it with your PC MIDI gear and vice versa. I've already built almost a dozen prototypes, but I'm trying to get a feel for the market potential to price these out. Without disclosing any confidential info you might have, can you give me a feel for just how many 8000 and 8800 units Roland produced and shipped worldwide before ending production on the series? Thanks again for being such a great advocate and mentor to do many of us. In an industry often filled with people who make themselves unapproachable and even aloof to the novice and hopeful semipro producers out here, you've been a beacon of knowledge and a breath of fresh air showing us that we CAN make great music with the right attitude and work ethic. For that, thank you!
Fam, do you have anywhere I can hear your works??
Hey Brian thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it. Im not sure bout the numbers as it was so long ago but the MV did sell really well, very high numbers and had a pretty long production run in comparison to many other Roland products. The mods your making will this work for Mac users? If so I would love to check that out on a Mac.
Mike Acosta Mike: It's largely a hardware device (therefore, OS and PC hardware independent), though I'd need to confirm drivers and libraries for the Mac. I'm about 98% sure that it'll work perfectly fine on osx...though all prototypes to date have been windows tested. Send me an email with a mailing address and I'll whip up a variant for osx, test it out on my MacBook, and assuming that all is well I'll ship you a pre-production prototype for evaluation. I should be able to have it working in a week or so.
Man i wanted this thing so badly! now after watching this i wish i had the funds to buy it.. great show guys :)
If you ever see one, I'd try getting it for sure. It's still worth it even today.
Being a huge fan of the sp808ex yet hating so much about it.
This thing is so appealingly..
I am sold!!
This video was really entertaining, I had no idea about this machine. Can't afford it now, but I wish I had bought one before. The live-sequencing features seem really cool, the only big drag being the slow usb 1.x connection. Thanks guys.
Yeah slow USB 1 connection for importing samples but once you have everything in there, its all gravy!
appreciate you Mike, i been rocking with the mv for a minute now been watching your videos
Great chat guys. I love the 'old stories'. And indeed this is a underestimated peace of equipment.
It truly is!
Not sure if you got a cut of MV sales butI I purchased mine because of your videos! So glad I didi w/ the expander.
I wish lol
Mike Acosta mike.. without the Op-1, would you just save each stem as a wav file, put everything into a folder, and then transfer it to a PT session via USB?
I bought my one new back 2007 and have upgraded it beyond factory limits in terms or RAM, HDD and the OP1 board, even had a DIF-AT and DIF-AT 24 at one point. I use it more as a sequencer. The reason I use it over say Logic or Cubase is because I don't get prompted to update anti-virus or Flash Player when trying to be creative. Finally I sometimes use this as a CD player and have yet to hear a better sounding player. I have tried all sorts of monitors and headphones. I wished Roland still developed it or gave us upgrade options as it is a bit on the slow side for loading samples from HDD. Great video guys.
This is by far the best discussion series hahaha. You guys should REALLY do one of these on the Triton! With all the press and re releases of its sounds that have been coming out, it only seems appropriate!
Ahhh man. That’s sooo cool how the tempo works!!!!
More Gear Chat Please.......So informative.
I sold my MV -8800 to finance the purchase of an MPC-5000.. Its the biggest regret I have in life x2. Even the MPCX doesn't touch on some of the best features the MV had.
I´m absolutely freaking love the first "story time" :-D
Just found out about these...seems pretty bad ass. Something else I want for no reason lol
yayy,gear chat,finally
edit: what a great great episode
Great video, would love to see a video focusing in on the screen, with some tips and tricks
Mike Acosta changed my life bro. I was a rapper and copped this in 2007 for $2700 and never looked back. I’m on it at least once a day and always learn something new. Nothing compares to chopping samples on this beast. By the way there is an OP-1 on eBay for $900!!!!
Thank You For This Video ! ! ! I Own A MV-8800 In Which I Have Really Never Used. I Am Planning On Putting It In Use In The Very Near Future. This Machine Is A Beast ! ! ! Please Do More Videos On The MV-8800 .
You guys touched on this in the MV8800 video-any chance of a gear chat on the V Synth (First iteration not the GT or XT)...😎
Yes I would love to see a V-Synth Gear Chat.
That would be nice
Mike I never could afford one back when you were reping for Roland but your videos really made me want to have one. Inspiring stuff. To be honest saw your and your co-hosts name and had to see this video to see what you guys had been up to. Peace. ps Subscribed btw
Thank you sir!
Very good video! I remember the MV-8800 very well. In my opinion, I think the price and timing is what lead to it’s downfall (too expensive and the rise of Fruity Loops).
I do believe Roland previously had some form of the launchable clips/patterns feature with the XP workstations. Thus, the MV-8800 was not the first Roland product with launchable clips/patterns.
Lastly, I would love to see ADSR continue with these types of videos; interviewing previous designers/team members that worked on the equipment. There are so many units that I would like to learn more about and hear from the actual people that worked and developed them.
*****GREAT REVIEW ON Roland MV-8800***** (Informative) :) "Thanks"
Awesome guys. so much I didn't know about the MV!
IAMCAPSUN thanks man! Yeah the MV was highly misunderstood and constantly overlooked. It's a beast and super fun to write with. Super happy I got one back :) You should hear what some of the new Trap and Lo-Fi Future Bass drums sound like on it.
I love the stories! And I’ve always loved watching you two guys Roland demo videos! Keep rocking!
Thank you for your work.🤩
Man, I'm glad you covered it!!! I still love it and use it as my main drum machine/sampler!!!!
I'd love one of of them
Buy one they are cheap if you look
I got mine Thursday I had a 8k already but found the 8800 for a good price
How cheap...don't think they will be in my budget
Do one on the Kurzweil K's (K2000, K2500 etc.)!
I got one still sitting in his box. Bought it on sale for a 350 euro.
When these pop up on the 2nd hand market, it's probably the best bang for buck machine out there. I'll finally give in and pick one up next year. Roland needs to get off their ass and make a new one though. It's long past time.
Im looking for a sequencer "brain"for running all my external synths and gear. I keep coming back to the MV. I would like to be able to run as much stuff as possible , live. Mostly pattern style. Any chance the MV sends CC messages? Is the 8800 for me.
I really appreciate and enjoy this video, but would have being better with a VGA monitor plugged in for the demo.
Speaking about Roger Linn and engineers, did you guys know who was the main engineer behind the MV?
In addition, exactly a month after this video was published, Mr. Ikutaro Kakehashi (the founder of Roland Corporation) passed away at the age of 87.
u dont want everyone else usin ur machine.. who cares if no one else wants it.. i wanna be one of the few on the map makin music with it... thats why i still use another dinosaur, the RS7000.. still waitin for yamaha to make a sequel!
DAMMIT! Now I want one...
arguably the most beautiful piece of hard ware I have ever owned. Hated the work flow 100% ! Sold it cut muy loss 2009. Maschine Man every since!
great episode. mv salute
Hey guys-After watching this (several times), I had to pick one up. Found one in great shape in great working order. I'm not a hip hop guy but I'm looking forward to see what I can come up with-thanks for the video. When are you making more gear chats?? Keep rockin-Chris
The MV can be used for any style of music honestly, I've used it many times to draft various House drum tracks.
Was always thinking about buing it and ended up with cubase. Great demo!!! made me want to buy it again
I have one and i love it, thx for the video!
Loved my MV8000 but struggled with the loop and sequencer.
Im falling more and more in love with this girl. I only with they could repair them.
