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. Each MV-8000 Workshop Series booklet focuses on one MV-8000 topic, and is intended as a companion to your MV-8000 Owner s Manuals. This booklet requires MV-8000 O.S. Version 3 or higher. You can download the latest O.S. for free from www.rolandus.com. About This Booklet This booklet is for AKAI MPC-000 and MPC-2000/XL users who ve migrated to the Roland MV-8000. It translates MPC button-presses and terms into MV-8000 button-presses and terms to help make the switch even easier. About the Charts in the Booklet The following charts list an item from an MPC on the left, and its MV-8000 couterpart on the right. There s a chart for MPC-000 items, and one for MPC-2000/XL items. Here are some shortcuts we re using: Whenever we refer to one of the numbered keypad buttons, we ll call it Keypad [number], as in Keypad 1 for the #1 ABC keypad button. The four CURSOR buttons are shown as 3,, 5, and 6. In cases where we list a series of actions, we use > to get from one action to another. For example: instead of saying Press the PROJECT button, then press the third keypad button, and then press the ENTER button we ll say PROJECT > Keypad 3 > ENTER.
