Storage section
The MV-8000 has an internal hard disk, letting you store a large number of your songs.
It also has a USB connector, CD-R/RW drive, and floppy disk drive, giving you
everything you need to exchange audio files with your computer, collect materials for
your creations, and distribute your finished productions!
Sequencer
This section records your performances on the
velocity pads as MIDI messages, and sends the
recorded MIDI messages to control the sound
generator section. The MV-8000's sequencer
provides 136 tracks (128 MIDI tracks + 8 audio
tracks).
MIDI messages recorded in the sequencer can be
sent from MIDI OUT to control an external MIDI
device or V-LINK device.
The sequencer provides powerful
recording/playback/editing functions such as
Input Quantize (p. 82) and Loop Recording (p.
80), and can record up to 150,000 events.
Controller section
This section includes the top panel velocity pads, sliders, C (control) knobs, and a foot
switch connected to the rear panel. Your performance gestures (e.g., striking or
releasing a pad, or pressing a pedal) are converted into MIDI messages and sent to the
sound generator section, sequencer section, and external MIDI devices.
Effect section
You can use three effects simultaneously (a multi-effect, a chorus/delay, and a reverb),
and make independent settings for each.
Multi-effect
Multi-effects let you give an entirely different character to
the sound itself. You can choose one of 24 algorithms
(methods of calculation) by which the internal DSP will
process the sound. Multi-effects are abbreviated as “MFX”
in this manual and on the MV-8000 itself.
When you are mastering your completed song, you can use
the mastering toolkit (a three-band stereo
compressor/limiter) provided by the multi-effect section.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a
type of serial interface found
on most computers today. The
MV-8000 functions as a “USB
Master Storage Class” device,
and will be detected from a
connected computer as an
external hard disk.
