About the MV-8000 Workshop Series Roland’s MV-8000 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.
How Sample RAM Gets Jammed Up The MV-8000 ships with a generous 128 MB of sample RAM, and you can expand it all the way up to 512 MB—see the MV-8000 Owner’s Manual for details. To learn more about what sample RAM is, see the MV-8000 Sampling Workshop booklet. No matter how much RAM you have, you may find yourself in a situation like this: you’re only using a few patches or audio phrases in your project, but you find you’ve run out of room for new patches or samples. Here’s how this can happen.
Sticky Stuff Let’s say you start a project one day and try out a lot of patches, or you make a lot of samples you decide not to use. Eventually, you find the sounds you want and get down to business. At the end of the day, you save your project. How to Optimize a Project 1. Press PROJECT and select Sample Manager from the PROJECT menu—this opens up the SAMPLE MANAGER window. Here’s the thing: when you save the project, all the unused stuff gets saved, too.
