I wish Roland would update the loading and saving features for today’s musicians and make a new version of the MV 8800. We’re waiting!!!!!

[@DyReckProductions]

I feel u.

[@jaxager]

That would definitely be sweet. Expensive, but sweet, nonetheless.

[@TomZentra]

What really killed the MV-8800 was the recession. The timing of the release was very unfortunate. As world economies fell into a deep recession, the fate of the MV-8800 was sealed. This also influenced Roland to stop supporting it because sales were poor. It was such a shame because this instrument was terrific.

[@DyReckProductions]

You might be right about that.

[@MrScrooge1980]

That makes a lot of sense and nobody ever spoke on it from that aspect

[@MeneTekelUpharsin]

You're right. I didn't think about that.

[@Lync1111]

So in your opinion would it even make sense to find one. I wonder if one of us did and it broke somehow would Roland support the issues being it is no longer in production?

[@TomZentra]

@@Lync1111 They are available on eBay, but this is old, slow technology. As far as I know, Roland does not support it anymore. Like the old MPC's, buy it only because you want what it does, not because you think it is better than something modern.

[@ETwOneE21]

I love the 88. I will take it to the grave. The power this has is still ahead of its time. The built in plugins blew my mind when I realized what they were. Time stretch on the fly. Quantize in real time and every track can have their own quantize set up(sick). 512mb(expanded) of sample time still till this day is ridiculous. Built in pre for turn table sampling. I’m missing so much we could talk for days about the MV.

[@TomZentra]

The MV-8800 was fantastic, but with the small display you really had to use an external monitor. Unfortunately, the video card supported only VGA. There were many MV-8800's for sale new on eBay for years after Roland discontinued the item, and the prices were quite good. I doubt that Roland will ever make another machine like this one. The MV-1 is supposedly the successor. However, it does not have the large amount of controls like the MV-8800.

[@DyReckProductions]

@@TomZentra Yeah..The MV-1 lacks alot of the total production feature the MV8800 had.

I had this thing. I just sold it in 2019 b/c the HDD kept failing. It was big, it only had ½ GB of ram but I was a BEAST. The VGA out put this in a class of its own.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh ok cool.

[@Netm8kr]

Fam, My 8k has been a mainstay in the lab for almost 20 years. Indeed it was far ahead of it’s time. I sat on it for a full year before forcing myself to learn, and use it. Afterwards, I’ve always swore by it. It’s MIDI capabilities have prolonged it usage in my lab. Being heavy into sound modules, the MV easily commands them with intricate controls. As a sampler, it rivals almost all of them. These days, it’s still my favorite, yet going through a sibling rivalry with the newest arrival (s2400). The MV deserves it place in history, and truly is shameful that Roland gave up on it. Us faithfuls still love them, and continue to share information as a community. 👍🏾✌🏾

[@DyReckProductions]

Yeah man..I feel u.

[@yvesdropBeats]

I purchased one (MV8000)last year in April when everything shut down due to Covid. I got a good price on it. Back in the early 2000s the MV8000 peaked my interest but man it so darn expensive it wasn’t obtainable by a bedroom producer like myself. I’m really pleased with this equipment, the work flow is smooth and after mastering the sounds come out really clean. The DAW portion of it reminds me of Cakewalk from back in the day which I’m completely fine with. All in one machine that saves me space in my home.

[@apoclypse]

The MV880 was an amazing, way ahead of its time machine. The problem is that it came from Roland and they don't really have a history of sticking with things. There are so many Roland products that could have been really amazing if they just put more resources and time into it.

[@wierd.ole.monkey]

I LOVE the MV!!! I took apart harness on my MV8000 and wired up a 128GiG Compact Flash Drive to replace the 3.5" floppy that the 8000 had, and it isn't slow anymore!!! Plenty of room! Also made a new adapter board to hook up VGA and Mouse(since ROLAND does not make those any more!). Customized case with super bright LEDs backing screen and extended wood side panels that let my MV hold a 1 octave MiDi controller underneath that pulls out like a drawer!!!Next up is finding a laptop screen I can attach and plug to VGA port. I've been trying to get my friends to buy them as I had to print 12 of the circuit boards for VGA...

[@nmagain24]

You should sell some of this stuff your talking about.

[@wierd.ole.monkey]

@@nmagain24 If there was any interest I would. I believe the MV-8800 already had the VGA port on the back of it, so my little circuit board is only for the MV-8000's that weren't converted. ROLAND offered the board I speak of for $189.00. I made it for like$12 and a couple hours of work!

[@MrScrooge1980]

@@wierd.ole.monkey there has been a resurgence of the MV units, I recently just bought one, leave your info when u see this

[@UrbanJournal]

That was one benefit of the 8000 over the 8800. You could replace the floppy drive and keep your disc drive. The 8800 only had the disc drive so when upgrading to the flash drive you lose your disc drive. That flash drive definitely speeds the loading times up. It’s like a different machine. I need to upgrade mine. I’d like the output expander too if I could ever find it. The original not the one from Taiwan.

[@JRosevelt]

I don't have the 8800 but I do have the MV 8000! One of my boys let me get it for a while and I'm loving it. It can do just about any and everything you would need. Besides technical malfunctioning, I think most people who see fault in the machine's functionality just maybe aren't aware of all it's features and how to navigate them, because there is really NOTHING it cannot do! Roland really should have continued to manufacture this series! Roland, how about a MV 9000 in the new year!

I actually couldn't wrap my head around why people couldnt wrap their head around it.. cause it does the simple things really effortless. even for a new user like me. For me simple would be, put in some samples, pitch / manipulate samples, do some drums and bass and some other instrumentation. Its build for that...It not like its really mysterious.

Former MVNation moderator here and I can attest to all homie is saying regarding this machine (which I still have fully loaded w/output expander and vga card) which was and still is to this day, a beast. Highly misunderstood machine cause people's mind sets were primarily locked into the MPC way of thinking. My only gripe to this day is that Roland engineers didn't have the foresight to include a waveform cue marker or 'scrolling cursor' for a more visual editing experience (not a problem if you had good ears and could read the waveform). Great machine though, just ahead of it's time. Hope that Roland builds off the current MV-1 and goes big with an "MV8" but learning what to and what not to do with this machine this time.

[@DyReckProductions]

Like the idea of the MV8..I know Roland can update the MV1..cause they did it for the 707..If they make the unit more intuitive that would be dope!

[@BladeTheMotovlogger]

Mike Acosta had a say in why the MV was killed off! He pretty much said it himself in a recent video that Roland came to him just a few years back and wanted to put out another MV! They said they were going to put a different sequencer in it and he said no! He said they came to him a couple of times and he refused to have anything to do with it if it didn't have the same sequencer. I almost couldn't believe that he would be that selfish.

I love the machine , I remember my older brother buying the mv8000 Back in 2006, he could not comprehend the machine and understand the DAW workflow at all, I watched the DVD tutorial and learned how to import samples, chop them up , load built in instruments, make loops , then arrange the loops to make a song in on the track. then you master the track and finally burn to CD. This was my first introduction to a DAW /sampling/drum machine/ mastering/ looping/Mixers ect and it was super hard to figure out. I still use this machine to this day and record my band by sampling live drums and guitars into audio phrases and join them in the DAW. For a bypass of the ram and recording a whole performance I use the MIXDOWN mode and just record. super easy and an amazing machine. Using a foot switch on it as well to help bands start their recordings , Machine was Truly ahead of its time .

Damn….I never thought to record in using mixdown mode. I record beats from other samplers like the SP303 or 404 by sampling in. Mixdown mode is genius

[@BoomDocs14K]

Nice walk down memory lane in terms of great sequencer-sampler midi production gear. I'm still a proud owner of the first release of the Roland sequencer; the MV-8000. I agree that these units were underrated and unappreciated, but most of the misunderstanding was due to exactly what you mentioned in the video. People approached it with an MPC mindset and couldn't wrap their heads around the MV's workflow. Producers always go back to vintage gear for a certain character that the gear provides like the grit of the old SP-1200. Although I have moved on with other production gear, I often gravitate to the now legacy MV8 for nice loose and punchy grooves. If you can get past slower loading and some of the modern tools that can speed-up your workflow, then the MV will get you where you need to go. I can't think of too many things I can do on an MPC-X that I can't do on the MV-8000, it may take longer, but can be done! Nice video, Bro! Good job and thanks for making this....

The MV-8800 allowed for plug-ins? Are you sure you aren't thinking of the VS series? Some of the VS multitrack recorders did have a few plug-ins but I never heard of the MV's having any plug-ins. The MV's did allow for virtual analog synthesis using the FX and also came with a lot of impressive FX (such as mic modeling if I remember correctly) but I don't know about any plug-ins provided by roland let alone 3rd parties.

@@DyReckProductions Roland just released the MV-1 within the past few weeks. It appears to be the latest MV. But it requires a tablet PC to make it comparable to the MV-8000 or MV-8800 in it's capability. Instead of simply connecting a monitor to the MV-1 you have to connect a tablet PC to it. I'm hoping the MV-1 is merely a more affordable lower end introductory model and they will release a better fully standalone version which you can connect a monitor (and mouse) to instead of a tablet. A tablet PC should be optional to enhance the capabilities but shouldn't be required to obtain the basic workstation capabilities you'd get in the standalone workstations from competitors (akai and maschine).

[@DyReckProductions]

@@sashas3362 The good thing about the MV1 is that they can update it like they did to the 707..I dont think anyone should think of the MV1 as a MV8800..The MV1 only has 8 tracks..limited editing features no auto chop..they make you have to get all the way to vocal mode before you can access the full 12min sample time..and you dont get full access to the ZenCore engine..If they gave me full access to the Zencore I would deal with all the other limiting features..But i guess they feel if they were to give you all that know one would buy the 707.

[@sashas3362]

@@DyReckProductions How many tracks did the MV8000/8800 have? Are you sure the MV1 limitations you mention exist even when linking a tablet PC to it? Maybe they will fix those limitations in a future update. We'll have to wait and see.

The MV came with 136 tracks, a 128 midi tracks and 8 audio tracks but if used as mono audio tracks you could get 16 audio tracks Royal Baddest Music Crack'em "1994" I still have my MV 8000 and still waiting for Roland to pick up the ball the MPCX is just a Clone of the MV most of Roland tech team went over to Akai and took information for Roland with them the MPCX is nice but Roland For Life....Help me Roland you're Killing Me I even brought a MPCX and returned it because of the Love of the MV's WORKFLOW NOTHING BUT MUSIC🎵🎶🎵🎶 Come On Man get this Money Roland

[@Sinosure]

Great video!! I'll have to disagree with you about the legacy of the machine. To me it hasn't reached legendary status yet. I feel people still don't appreciate this machine!! When it gets to the point of an MPC 60, 3000, or SP 1200, then I'll see it as legacy & legendary!! The MV is still very advanced!! All it needs is a faster processor for those who think it's so slow, but use an SP 1200!! Whatever!! If it could be upgraded in those aspects somehow in the current time, it would be killer! It's still a great machine!! I have one purchased new when they came out & I'm not selling it!! They were built like a tank & I still make beats with mine!! The MV still is a relevant machine!!

I think that was also around the time Akai brought the MPC 5000 out and that was a beast too. Could upgrade to a nice big hard drive, full synth, audio tracks for vocals with faders for each track, lots of ram....... it was hard to beat but then at that time everybody started wanting software based bs not standalone.

[@MJamesIII]

I went from a FULLY loaded MPC2000XL to a MV8000 thinking the game is changing. Biggest mistake I had ever made. My workflow suffered horribly. After 2 years of being unproductive on the unit, I sold it for the MPC5000. That made me miss my MPC2000xl even more. I didn’t sell it, but I dove heavily into my software (Logic) and I paired it to the MPC Renaissance. Finally, my workflow started to evolve. Years later, I now use the MPC X with Logic and couldn’t be happier.

[@DyReckProductions]

The X is nice..its like a daw in a box..and super fast workfow.

mannnn this takes it back i worked at Guitar Center during the years when this was still new on the market, i sold a few and had more than few get returned or sold back to us for an MPC 2500, a Korg Triton or even a Roland Fantom, which was doing a lot better in sales at that time. I definitely agree that the 8800 was far ahead of its time, i thought it was dope especially the fact that you can hook up a monitor and use a mouse! but i couldnt afford one back then and i was actually a lot more intrigued by the more affordable roland sp-606.. actually maybe we can get a wah had happened was on the sp-606?? great series G!

Great revisit of this machine. As a previous owner of both MV 8000 and 8800, I agree that if Roland had continued the development of the MV 8800, it would've been among the top "studio-in-a-box" machines. Perhaps one day, Roland will muster a team of modern-day minded developers and resurrect this machine to a new and improved version...then, the alarm clock just woke me up...😒

Oh hell no you aint gonna dis the MV800/8800 this is my second all time favorite sampler next to my SP1200 . Ive owned the MPC 3000 , ASR 10 , MPC 4000 , S950 and the MV Series was nothing more but bad marketing on Roland's part because years later alot of company's like native instruments and akai jacked elements from the series work flow .
