A Complete Studio for Modern ProductionWhile there are other hardware studios on the market, none can compete with the MV-8000's ability to quickly turn raw samples into song. With up to 101 minutes of sampling and compatibility with a wide range of audio formats, the MV-8000 offers unlimited possibilities. Sequencing is easy, thanks to 16 velocity-sensitive pads and a graphic LCD interface. Users can record up to 128 MIDI and eight audio tracks, apply effects and burn a CD, making the MV-8000 the first Roland product capable of handling every part of the production process.
From Sample to Finished CD
Thanks to the onboard CD-RW drive, producers can create entire songs armed with only an MV-8000 and their favorite CDs.

Then it's just a matter of tapping in some beats, arranging the song and adding effects before burning it all to an audio CD.

The MV-8000's sequencer section features total integration of audio and MIDI and up to 136 tracks of recording.

Program beats on the MIDI tracks and combine them with freestyle vocals or acoustic instruments on the audio tracks, including the ability to "punch in" at any time. The innovative MV-8000 can even sync audio to the sequencer's BPM.
Luxurious Velocity Pads and LCD Interface
Users of other sampling studios can now upgrade to the MV-8000 without sacrificing the distinctive feel they're used to, thanks to 16 large drum pads for programming beats and triggering audio phrases. The pads are both velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive for maximum expression, and when combined with the MV-8000’s large, graphic LCD and realtime control knobs, sequencing is more natural and spontaneous.
Compatible with Popular Audio Formats
