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 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

The MV-8800’s Direct Recording feature lets you record vocals or instruments

into the MV-8800 alongside your sequenced tracks—there’s no sampling

involved, just straight-ahead recording. This booklet explains how to use

Direct Recording.

The Buttons, the LCD, or a VGA?

On 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.

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.

Where Direct Recording Gets Recorded

When you record vocals or instruments with Direct Recording, the MV-8800

stashes your audio in its sample RAM, and holds it there until you save your

current project. When you save the project, everything in sample RAM is

saved onto the MV-8800’s hard drive in the project’s SAMPLE folder.

Since your recordings aren’t permanently saved until you save their

project, it’s critically important that you save the project before

turning off the MV-8800 or loading another project. If you don’t save

the project first, your recordings will be lost.

Obviously, the larger your sample RAM, the more recordings you can fit in

there. The MV-8800 ships with a generous 128 MB of sample RAM, which

amounts to over 25 minutes of mono Direct Recording, or just shy of 13

minutes of stereo Direct Recording. You can expand your sample RAM up to

512 MB, as described in the MV-8800 Owner’s Manual.

Direct Recording shares sample RAM with anything you’ve sampled,

as well as with the samples played by any instruments you’ve loaded.

As a result, when you’ve got samples loaded, there’ll be less Direct

Recording time available.

The Direct Recording Session

The Direct Recording Hookup

Connect your mic(s) or instrument to the MV-8800 using its rear-panel

ANALOG INPUT jacks.

When you’re Direct

Recording, keep the

included shorting pin

inserted in the PHONO

jacks.

If you’re using:

a single mic, an electric guitar, bass, or other single-output instrument—

connect it to the MIC/LINE L jack.

a keyboard or other stereo instrument—connect its left and right outputs

to the MIC/LINE L and R jacks, respectively.

If you’ve installed an optional MV8-OP1 Audio I/O Expansion board in

your MV-8800, you can connect a digital device—such as a synth with

digital outputs—to one of the MV8-OP1’s digital inputs.

Turning On Your Inputs

After making your connection, you’ve got to tell the MV-8800 which jacks

you want to use.

Press the SYSTEM button.

Select Global from the SYSTEM menu to display the

GLOBAL window.

If you’ve installed an

optional MV8-OP1

expansion board, you’ll

see its digital connectors

here.

For recording from the MV-8800’s analog input jacks, set Input Type to:

Analog—for stereo recording from both inputs.

Analog(L+R)—to record in mono using both inputs.

Analog—to record in mono from the left input only.

The Input Select parameter is automatically set to Analog unless you’ve

installed an MV8-OP1. If you have, you can select a stereo digital input:

Coaxial, Optical, or R-BUS.

Setting Your Direct Recording Level

Press the MIXER button to display the MIXER (AUX/FX/

AUDIO PHRASE/INPUT) window.

IN (A) level

If the AUX/Phrs/In pane isn’t visible—as shown here—click its tab at the

top of the window to bring it forward.

Set the IN (A) level to 100, as shown above.

While listening to the sound you want to record, adjust the front-panel

SENS knob for each analog input you’re using so the level shown in the

IN (A) meters onscreen is as loud as possible without lighting its red

Clip indicators.

Clip indicators

�

�

�

If you’re recording in stereo, set the L and R knobs to the same

position.

Once they light, the Clip indicators stay lit to make sure you see that

there’s been a too-loud moment even if you didn’t see it happening. To

switch the Clip indicators back off, click the Reset Peak button.

The Direct Recording Setup

Select the pattern or song you want to record into.

Select an unused audio track. Each audio track has a little audio symbol

to its left, shown here.

If you have no available audio tracks, press the MENU button and

select Add Audio Tracks... to create the desired number of new audio

tracks.

Use the MEAS 7and/or 8buttons to move to the location in the

project where you want to begin recording.

Press the REC button—the metronome starts and the

RECORDING PARAMETER (AUDIO) window appears.

We’re in Pattern mode, so this is the

PATTERN RECORDING PARAMETER

(AUDIO) window. If you’re in Song

mode, the RECORDING PARAMETER

(AUDIO) window is displayed, and

the Pattern Length and Loop Rest

parameters aren’t visible.

�

Set:

Rec Mode—to Direct Rec.

Sample Type—to:

Mono—if you’re recording only from the MIC/LINE L jack.

Stereo—if you’re recording from both the MIC/LINE L and R

jacks, the two PHONO inputs, or a digital input.

Count In—to the number of measures you want to hear before

recording actually begins.

Pattern Length (in Pattern mode)—to change the length of the

current pattern.

Metronome Mode—as desired. It can play during recording only,

during recording and playback, or all the time.

If you’re recording along to already-sequenced tracks, you won’t want

to hear the metronome. To turn it off, set Metronome Mode to Off. To

learn more about the metronome, see the MV-8800 Owner’s Manual.

We’ll discuss two of the remaining parameters in the “Auto Punch”

section. (Pattern mode’s Loop Rest parameter has no bearing on, and

Input Quantize parameter isn’t available for, direct recording.)

The Direct Recording Process

Press the PLAY button to begin recording. The countoff

measures go by and recording starts.

When you’ve finished recording, press the STOP button.

To play back your recording, press the TOP button or use

the 7and 8buttons to move to the beginning of your recording, and

then hit PLAY.

If you don’t like what you’ve recorded, press the UNDO/REDO button

to get rid of it. When you do this, UNDO/REDO flashes to show that

you can change your mind and get back your recording by pressing

UNDO/REDO once more. You can change your mind until you make your

next recording.

Once you’ve got a recording you like, press PROJECT, and then select

Save Project to store your work on the MV-8800 hard drive. This

ensures that you won’t forget to save the project later. Use Save

Project often as you work.

Auto Punch

You can re-record a section of a recorded track by“punching”the section you

want to fix. When you begin re-recording, you “punch in.” When you stop re-

recording, you “punch out.”

The MV-8800 offers an Auto Punch feature that makes this easy to do. To

punch a section of a track:

Hold down SHIFT and press the AUTO

PUNCH button. This turns on Auto Punch

and opens the AUTO PUNCH window.

When Auto Punch is on, its

icon lights blue on the VGA.

A red bar appears on the

VGA above the section to be

punched.

The Auto Punch window

In the AUTO PUNCH window, you can set the locations where you want

to start and stop re-recording.

Set:

Punch In—to where you want to begin re-recording. You can select

the desired bar, beat, or tick.

Punch Out—to where you want to stop recording. You can select

the desired bar, beat or tick, here, too.

�

�

•



If you don’t want to be bothered with bars, beats, and ticks, just play

the section you want to punch. Click the AUTO PUNCH window’s Now In

button when you get to the place where you want to start recording,

and click the Now Out button where you want to stop recording.

When you’re ready, press the REC button—you’ll see your punch points

in the RECORDING PARAMETER (AUDIO) window.

Use 7and/or 8to move to a place before the section you want to

punch.

Press PLAY—the MV-8800 waits to actually begin recording until it

reaches the Punch In location, and automatically stops recording when

it reaches the Punch Out location.

Press STOP when you’re done.

Naming the Track

It’s a good idea to name each recorded track so you don’t have to remember

which one it is. To name a track:

Double-click on the track’s name to display the EDIT TRACK NAME

window, or press MENU and select Track Name...

Click the jump button to learn how to name tracks when

you’re working on the built-in LCD.

In the EDIT TRACK NAME window, name the track as desired and click

OK.

Editing a Direct Recording

You can edit your recording the same way you’d edit the audio on any

MV-8800 audio track. A detailed discussion of track-editing is beyond the

scope of this booklet, but here are a few tips to get you started.

See the MV-8800 Owner’s Manual for details on editing sequence

tracks.

Selecting What You Want to Edit

Click the jump button to learn how to edit audio when

you’re working on the built-in LCD.

To select a recording for editing on the

VGA, click directly on the recording so

it turns dark.

To select a portion of a recording for editing:

Click the audio symbol next to its track name so

it turns dark.

Select the Range tool and drag from left to right

over the portion of the recording you want to edit.

Remember to click the Arrow button to the left of the Range tool

once you’ve finished selecting the portion of the recording you want

to edit.

�

� The Range tool

The Edit Pop-Up

When you’ve selected a recording—or

a portion of it—right-click it with your

mouse to display the Edit pop-up. It’s filled

with editing options for the recording.

The same menu appears when you’re

editing MIDI tracks—the items that aren’t

available when you’re working with audio

are for MIDI editing only.

This menu item: Allows you to:

Move... move the selected audio to a different time

location and/or track.

Copy & Paste... copy the selected audio to a different time

location and/or track, replacing whatever’s

already there.

Copy & Insert... copy the selected audio to a different time

location and/or track, inserting it at the

desired location. If audio’s already there,

that audio is pushed back in time so it starts

at the end of the inserted audio.

Erase replace the selected audio with silence.

Cut delete the selected audio, sliding any audio

that follows it into its place.

Copy as Audio Phrase... assign the selected audio to one of the

MV-8800 pads as an audio phrase.

Audio Event Parameter control the behavior of the recording. We’ll

get into the AUDIO EVENT PARAMETER window

in detail in “Audio Event Parameters.”

Paste MIDI Clip becomes available in Song mode. Copy as New Pattern

and Paste Pattern have to do with managing MV-8800 patterns. We’re

not concerned with any of these menu items during direct recording.

Dragging, Dropping

You can also use your mouse to move and/or copy the recording on your

VGA. To:

move the recording—click the recording and drag it to the desired

position.

copy the recording—hold down SHIFT and drag a copy of the recording

to the desired position.

Audio Event Parameters

When you select Audio Event Parameter from the Edit pop-up, the AUDIO

EVENT PARAMETER window appears.

This parameter: Sets:

Level the basic level of the recording.

Coarse Tune the tuning of the recording, in keyboard

steps, or “semitones.”

Fine Tune the tuning of the recording, in 100ths of a

semitone.

BPM Sync whether or not the recording’s tempo

is locked to the sequence tempo so it

automatically stays in time even if the

sequence tempo changes after Direct

Recording.

Stretch Type the algorithm the MV-8800 uses to keep

the recording in time when BPM Sync is on.

Higher values result in higher audio quality.

If you’re not sure of the setting to use, set

this to Auto.

•

This parameter: Sets:

BPM the tempo of the recording. This is set by

default to the sequence’s tempo during

Direct Recording.

Click the onscreen Move button to change the recording’s starting

location. Click the Sample Edit button to display a window where you

can—among other things—normalize the recording to make it as loud as

possible, or convert a stereo recording into a mono one.

Working on the Built-In LCD: Special Cases

Usually—as we’ve said—there are only small differences between working

on a VGA or on the built-in LCD. This booklet contains a few exceptions,

though: naming a track, selecting audio for editing, and opening the Edit

Pop-Up menu. The following sections explain how to do these things on the

LCD.

If you’re working on a VGA, you can jump ahead—you’ve

already learned how to do these things.
