Main Features
How the MV-8000 is organized
Basic structure
Broadly speaking, the MV-8000 consists of a “sampler section,” “sound generator
section,” “storage section,” “sequencer section,” and “controller section.”
Sampler section
The sampler lets you record audio material from the analog inputs or load Wave files
(.WAV files) for use as “samples” --- the basic element of sound on the MV-8000. The
MV-8000's sampler records at 44.1 kHz / 16-bit, delivering high-quality sound. Sounds
you sample are held in the internal DIMM memory (SDRAM type). When the MV-8000
is shipped from the factory, 128 MB of memory is installed (a maximum of 512 MB is
supported), giving you space to perform phrase sampling and use the synthesis
functions to manipulate instrumental sounds.
Sound generator section
This is the section that produces the sound. In response to MIDI messages it receives
from the controller section, sequencer section, or an external MIDI device, the sound
generator section calls up the corresponding sample from DIMM memory and outputs
it from the OUTPUT jacks. This section also contains three effect processors. For
details, refer to
Effect section
(p. 23).
“Sampling” is the process of
using a sampler to record
sounds.

DIMM is the type of memory
installed in the MV-8000.
When shipped from the
factory, a 128 MB DIMM
module is installed. You can
replace this with a DIMM
module of up to 512 MB (p.
185). Refer to
Specifications
(p. 449) for details on the type
and specifications of the
DIMM modules that can be
used.
SDRAM type DIMM
(128 MB installed at the factory)
The MV-8000's sound
generator section can produce
up to 64 voices
simultaneously.
