Nice video and nice music. Just got my MV8800 a week ago. I'm still learning all the features of this very deep and impressive machine. Coming from MPCs and other machines, it's been a little bit of a learning curve but I'm getting there.
Great to hear you have an MV. Once you dig a bit deeper it will all make sense. It will take some time but its a great addition your lab. Thanks for watching.
@@monsterx3055 Great point. I never thought about the arp however you can create an arp effect with a loop and just set the loop point to a place in the sample where it sounds like it's arping when played.
@corey smiley I have the same setup with a monitor and mouse. Clearly Roland saw computer style recording and beat making was on the horizon when they made the 8000 series of machines.
Just got mine yesterday and wow its a BIG boy. Hope it has the REAL reverb and lofi effects just like the MC909 had. The early 2000s, I love that era. MC808 was kinda wack and I heard MC707 isn’t true
The MV series are such great machines for their time (owned the 8000 a couple of times followed by the 8800... should have never sold it!). Besides dealing with the aging tech (that IDE bus is SLLOOOOOWWW these days lol), I think my one and only real gripe was the whole need of setting up every sound, going pad by pad setting things to One Shot (everything defaults to Note On), adjusting envelopes, etc. But once you knew that work flow and had your sounds all setup, you can FLY on this thing. That and the rarity of the output expansion card, but I've been seeing third party manufactured cards pop up a lot more often these days. Being spoiled by how fast these new machines are makes it a little difficult to go back, but as a few have stated in the comments already, this thing has such a beautiful, warm, punchy sound! I believe the sample engine was based around the old Roland S series samplers from the 90s if I remember correctly. Great overview video!
@Bank Hard Beats Peace my guy! Yes I agree the original MV series were a beast. The bus is slow only 100MHz whereas the MPC4000 is 133MHz. I put an SSD drive in mine and it does feel a bit faster but nothing to write home about. I did that mainly for reliability i.e. no moving parts inside the drive. I found the workflow to be great even to today's standards. The only samples i set to oneshot are my drums. I use note on heavy even in MPC. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Peace!
@@theboombapkingdom8628 For sure, I put a SSD in mine and also swapped for fan for a nice new Noctua one, it ran completely silent! Too bad they've straight up doubled in price since I was last looking around again lol 😣
@@BankHardBeats I upgrade the RAM too. It runs so smooth. Just did a RAM, HD upgrade and a Noctua fan install on my MPC4000. Its like a whole new machine. In my opinion the MV-8800 and MPC4000 are still the illest!
@@theboombapkingdom8628 That was definitely an exciting and special time for some beat machines, competitors at that! Both are also equally giant boxes lol Akai did pretty good with their modern units, I love the workflow. That new Roland MV is so disappointing, they should have put a different name on that thing because it doesn't even come close to the 8000 lol I would love to see Roland make a real, true successor
@@BankHardBeats Yes the new one is whack! Akai is responsible for breathing life back into the stand alone market. I also have an Akai Force and i have to say i think its the best unit from Akai as of this posting. I can't wait to see what Ableton does with the Push 3 though.
nice setup bro i got the 8000 back in 07 had to sell it to pay rent one cold December lol and recently got another, I see you draw too you got a portfolio?
Damn Sun I know the feeling. Back in the day when I was in school for Audio Engineering I had to sell my Ensoniq 16 EPS-M to pay tuition. As soon as I could I bought something I thought was even better to replace it.
I abandoned a little my MV8800, because it sounds 16 bits retro games. I bought the Akai Force and I’am feeding it with expansions, it sound professional.
There is no comparison the mv sound is second to none , it will run with anything new or old , not as fast as the new stuff once you figure out the work flow and patience a really nice piece to have just make sure the price is right and check all the specs and other stuff
Yo what up my gee! That is absolutely in the plan. For now check my first beat album "Throwing Frisbees" produced by The Boom Bap Kingdom out now on all streaming and music platforms! Thanks for watching.
The 8800 comes with the VGA card installed and the built-in display is color. The button layout is also different. It also comes with a CD drive/burner installed. The 8000 came with a diskette drive. It also came with the updated OS. Get an 8800 it's a better machine.
Dust that joint off fam! The 8800 is a beast. It can be a little slow to load and save projects and samples but other than that the MV can go toe to toe against any new stand alone machine.
Also if you press the record button you can set the main quantize method to shuffle as well then set the quantize to shuffle for each track. That is how I get the MPC swing on the MV. You will need to play with different strength values to get it to your liking.
Not for me. I do not see Akai doing anything different feature wise right now for MPC. I do have an MPC60, MPC4000, and an Akai Force already and that 3.0.7 FW for the Force is gonna be nuts when they release that so in regards to Akai I'm good.

I just got a mv 8000
Deep dive into waxdat8800 video archive for the mv masterclass to really grasp the depth of the what the mv can do
Fam, I found your channel looking at s2400 vids. When I saw the MV in the background, I knew you was good peoples. 👍🏾✌🏾
My dude! That's what's up. I'm putting in that work. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more.
Thank you for all your good tips man. Apprechiate it.
Thanks for watching. I'll be posting more videos on the MV-8800 and other gear as well very soon. Stay tuned. Peace and be safe.
Nice track. Cool video. It’s always good to see producers showcasing this underrated machine.
The MV8800 was and still is one of the most powerful standalone machines made. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
bro isn't it? an amazing piece of hardward. only hing that bugs me is it's lack of an arp feature
@@monsterx3055 Great point. I never thought about the arp however you can create an arp effect with a loop and just set the loop point to a place in the sample where it sounds like it's arping when played.
Yes the 88 was the joint !! had a mouse and everything on mine !!!!! Dope

@@theboombapkingdom8628 yes way ahead of its time , no sound can match it and built like a tank
@@coreybeats3335 Absolutely! One of the most powerful stand alones to date and one of my favorites. Thanks for watching.
Hot track
Thanks for watching I appreciate it. Make sure to like and sub!
Just got mine yesterday and wow its a BIG boy. Hope it has the REAL reverb and lofi effects just like the MC909 had. The early 2000s, I love that era. MC808 was kinda wack and I heard MC707 isn’t true
Peace! Glad you found one. The MV-8800 is bananas. The FX are official. Take your time to learn it and you'll enjoy it.

@@monsterx3055 Peace and thanks for watching and thanks foe the kind words. Stay tuned i have more coming plus the legendary MPC60!
Rock. The. Hut.
Thanks for the high quality content.
Respect to your cat. All the best TH-camrs have a cat.
That's a feline FACT.😺
LOL! Felix is my cat. He co-produced the beat!
The MV 8800 was so slept on it's not even funny way ahead of its time
It was an MPC world at the time and not many people were willing to try something new.
👌🏽
I abandoned a little my MV8800, because it sounds 16 bits retro games. I bought the Akai Force and I’am feeding it with expansions, it sound professional.
I also have a Force. One of my favorite samplers. I like the work flow.
Very Fresh
Thanks for watching!
The God ... PEACE !
Peace god. Thanks for checking me out.
Nice Intro bro
Peace from Germany ✌🏻
@Yo D thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe.

How does the MV8800 compare to the Force in terms of Sound ? Do they produce a different sound ? And do you have a preference ? - E
Great question. Akai MPC and Force sound a bit flatter and have more digital clarity. The MV-8800 sounds thicker and warmer.
There is no comparison the mv sound is second to none , it will run with anything new or old , not as fast as the new stuff once you figure out the work flow and patience a really nice piece to have just make sure the price is right and check all the specs and other stuff
You need to release that on VINYL so us DJs can get BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yo what up my gee! That is absolutely in the plan. For now check my first beat album "Throwing Frisbees" produced by The Boom Bap Kingdom out now on all streaming and music platforms! Thanks for watching.

What are the differences beetwen the Mv8800 and the Mv8000?
The 8800 comes with the VGA card installed and the built-in display is color. The button layout is also different. It also comes with a CD drive/burner installed. The 8000 came with a diskette drive. It also came with the updated OS. Get an 8800 it's a better machine.
Thanks fam. Mines been sitting in the closet
Time to get used to using it
Dust that joint off fam! The 8800 is a beast. It can be a little slow to load and save projects and samples but other than that the MV can go toe to toe against any new stand alone machine.
@@theboombapkingdom8628
Right Toe to Toe
Is there a way I can get it to swing like the mpc
@@nateb.6050 Yes, use the shuffle quantize method on your drum tracks. You can set the strength to your preference.
Also if you press the record button you can set the main quantize method to shuffle as well then set the quantize to shuffle for each track. That is how I get the MPC swing on the MV. You will need to play with different strength values to get it to your liking.
Looks like it's time to get the MPC X 2.10
Not for me. I do not see Akai doing anything different feature wise right now for MPC. I do have an MPC60, MPC4000, and an Akai Force already and that 3.0.7 FW for the Force is gonna be nuts when they release that so in regards to Akai I'm good.
