About the MV-8800 Workshop Series

Roland’s MV-8800 Production Studio is packed with features for making

music. It’s a heavy-duty sampler that can do all sorts of things with sounds

you sample or import. Its sequencer has 136 MIDI tracks for MIDI sequencing

and playing back audio, and its set of editing tools is deep. It’s a great box for

performing—using its pads or an attached MIDI keyboard—and, of course, it

can even burn a CD of your final master mix.

Each MV-8800 Workshop Series booklet focuses on one MV-8800 topic, and

is intended as a companion to your MV-8800 Owner’s Manuals.

About This Booklet

In the MV-8800, it all starts with the “project.”The project is where you create

everything and where you keep everything you need for a song or album.

This booklet explains projects and tells you how to create one.

The Buttons, the LCD, or a VGA?

With the MV-8800, you can work on the built-in color LCD or on an optional

VGA monitor. You can use the MV-8800’s front-panel controls, or a mouse on

your VGA screen. No matter how you like to work, there’s an easy way to get

things done.

Probably the best idea is to work primarily with a mouse

on a VGA, using the MV-8800’s buttons to quickly get in and out of

MV-8800 screens. The procedures in this booklet typically assume you’ll be

working this way.

If you’re not, don’t worry, because the VGA windows and LCD screens are

essentially the same. There are clickable VGA icons for all of the MV-8800’s

buttons. You can also press an onscreen button by clicking your mouse or

by pressing an F button on the MV-8800. The main difference has to do with

how you deal with settings—or “parameters”—and how you select objects.

If you’re using a mouse: If you’re using the MV-8800’s buttons:

You select parameters and objects with

a left click. You change the selected

parameter’s value by turning the scroll

wheel. You can display an object’s menu by

right-clicking the object.

You select parameters and objects with

the 3, 4, 5, and 6CURSOR buttons.

Change a selected parameter’s value by

turning the VALUE dial or by pressing DEC

and INC.

Understanding the Symbols in This Booklet

Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves

special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the following

symbols.

A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.

A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.

Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid

possible damage to your equipment, your data, or yourself.

The MV-8800 Project

It’s important to understand what a project is because:

on the MV-8800, you’re always in a project, even if you haven’t done

•

anything to get there.

a project gives you a place for everything you use in a song or album.

•

You don’t have to remember where things are stored because the

project does.

when you save a project, all of its samples, sounds, songs and settings

•

are saved in a single easy operation.

What a Project Is

A project is a container for all the materials you need for what you’re working

on.

What a Project Holds

16 Songs

While we all know what a song is in the “real

world,” in the MV-8800, a song is a thing that

contains:

a set of up to 16 patches.

•

the sequence and patterns that use them.•

settings for the MV-8800’s MFX, chorus,•

and reverb.

You can use the songs in a project any way

you like. Some MV-8800 users:

work on one tune in each project

• —using a

single project song.

make different versions of the same

•

tune—with each song holding one of

the versions. This is great when you want

different mixes of a tune, or want it in a

few styles.

record an entire album in a project

• —with

each song containing one of the album’s

selections.

Up to 500 Patterns

Patterns are song sections that can be chained

together. Each project can hold up to 500 patterns

that any song in the project can use. The easiest

way to build a song in the MV-8800 is one pattern

at a time.

Up to 9,999 Samples

Each project can hold up to 9,999 digital audio

recordings, or “samples.” Samples are played by

patches in the project’s songs, and on the pads as

audio phrases.

Song 1 Song 9

Song 2 Song 10

Song 3 Song 11

Song 4 Song 12

Song 5 Song 13

Song 6 Song 14

Song 7 Song 15

Song 8 Song 16

Patch Library

Each project has its own collection, or“library,”of as many

as 128 patches that any song in the project can use.

Effects Library

The project effects library really consists of

four separate effect libraries: an MFX library, a

delay/chorus library, a reverb library, and a Mastering

Toolkit library.

You can store your current effect settings as a “preset” in the corresponding

library. Any stored preset can be used in any of the project’s songs.

MIDI Clip Library

In each project, you can stash up to 100 favorite musical

chunks in its MIDI clip library. The library acts as a sort of

project scrapbook, holding bits and pieces that you can

use in any of the project’s patterns or songs.

Audio Phrase Setup

You can play any sample from a pad as an audio phrase.

Since there are 16 pads, and 32 pad banks, you can assign

audio phrases to as many as 512 pads in a project.

The advantage of playing a sample as an audio phrase—instead of in a

patch—is that an audio phrase can automatically time-stretch or time-

shrink in realtime to match the tempo and key of a pattern or song as

you tweak its feel.

How to Create a New Project

Press PROJECT to display the PROJECT menu.1

Select Create New Project from the Project menu. The2

CREATE NEW PROJECT window appears.

Free disk-space

indicator

As you create the project, you can copy various things from:

the currently loaded project or song•

another project and its most recently loaded song•

Whenever a project is saved, the MV-8800 remembers the song that’s

currently loaded so it can return you to that song when you re-load

the project.

If you want to copy things from a project that isn’t currently loaded,3

click Select Proj, navigate to the desired project, and then click Select.

Checkmark anything you want to copy from the source project or

its song. On the following page, a pair of charts tells you what each

checked box gets you.

Project and Song Settings

Checkmark: To copy:

Current Song Instruments the set of up to 16 patches used by the

source project’s song—along with the

samples they play—into the first song

of the newly created project.

Current Song Effects the MFX, chorus, and reverb effect

settings from the source project’s song

into the first song of the newly created

project.

Audio Phrases the source project’s audio phrase pad

assignments along with the samples the

pads play.

Pattern the source project’s patterns into the

new project.

Project Libraries

Checkmark: To copy the source project’s:

Patch Library patch library into the new project, along

with the samples the patches play.

MFX Library library of MFX presets into the new

project.

Reverb Library library of reverb presets into the new

project.

Midi Clip Library MIDI clips into the new project.

Delay/Chorus Library library of delay/chorus presets into the

new project.

Mastering Toolkit

Library

library of Mastering Toolkit presets into

the new project.

You can always load any of the current project’s patches into a new

project after it’s been created. To learn how to load patches from

another project, see the MV-8800 Workshop booklet Loading Patches.

A pattern always uses the patches of the song it belongs to. To make a

copied pattern sound the same in a new project as it did originally, the

song that plays it should use the same instrument setup as the song in

the original project. You can do this by making sure the desired song

is selected when you create your new project, and by checkmarking

Current Song Instruments in addition to Patterns in the CREATE NEW

PROJECT window.

When you’ve finished setting up the new project, click Execute.5

Since the MV-8800 automatically loads a newly created project—6

replacing the current project—it asks first you if you’d like to save the

current project. Click Yes if you want to save it, or No if you don’t.

To postpone the creation of the project altogether, press EXIT.

The MV-8800 creates the new project and loads it.

Saving a New Project

Hold down the SHIFT button and1

press SHUTDOWN•SAVE PROJECT—

the Save Project window appears.

Click OK—the SAVE AS NEW PROJECT window appears.2

In this window, you can name your new project by:

typing the desired name in the onscreen keyboard with your•

mouse.

using the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to select the desired

•

name.

typing the desired name on the MV-8800’s numeric keypad. Each

•

key has letters printed above it, so you can enter letters the same

way as you would on a phone. Repeatedly press a key until the

desired letter appears onscreen, and then press the right-hand

CURSOR button to move to the next character. Change cases by

clicking F4 (A→a/a→A) onscreen.

When you’re done, click OK—the MV-8800 saves your new project on

its hard drive.

You can rename a project at any time by pressing the PROJECT button

to display the PROJECT menu and selecting Rename Project.
