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.
The MV-8800 Project 16 Songs 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.
Patch Library Each project has its own collection, or “library,” of as many as 128 patches that any song in the project can use. How to Create a New Project 1 Press PROJECT to display the PROJECT menu. 2 Select Create New Project from the Project menu. The CREATE NEW PROJECT window appears.
