Beatmaking with Roland MV8800 • Boss SP202 • phdirac 

Thanks bro!! I actually got inspired to post the extra beats based on your video about multiple beats from one sample. ✊🏿

Yeah that would be great but it seems unlikely at this point

They dont even have to update the software, faster hardware, a laptop ssd drive that could be hot swapped, with a card reader w/ 1GB - 4GB ram stick done.

According to Mike Acosta, Roland outsourced the sequencer to another company when making the MV. I forgot exactly how he explained it but Roland doesn’t own it fully or something. They had talks of recreating an MV a couple of times but Mike wouldn’t agree because they wanted to change the sequencer. He said once you change the sequencer it’s not an MV anymore. They were even considering using the sequencer from the Fantom, which Mike was against as well. There’s a video that came out 2 or 3 years ago I believe called MV talk or something like that where Mike explains why there will never be another one. It’s part one of a three part series. It’s pretty good if you ever want something in the background while chopping samples or something. He goes through a lot of the history of the MV.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you bruh!! 🙏🏿✨

Peace, thanks! SP202 has some low-fidelity sample rates (even Hifi is only ~31.25 kHz) plus the Pitch effect is cool. I wanted to sample onto the SP202 first to capture some of that texture.

@@phdirac Ahh I see. I do that sometimes with my Yamaha A3000 since it can do low bit rates

Thank you! I run the signal through the compressor on the SP404mk2 before it reaches the audio interface.

@@phdirac aaah ok. So SP has a built in compressor.. I got you.

Thank you fam!! ✊🏿

SP404mk2!

No that effect is on the SP404mk2

You can do that in the MV but it takes a little bit of work.

Peace, thank you!!

Not for nutn but can you tell us what screen recorder you and otrher device you used to record for your MV-8X00 can ya @@phdirac

@@cokedoutmarv2006 I used my iPhone camera to record the screen, then cropped it and overlayed over the main video recording.

It’s a record weight stabilizer

@phdirac does it still allow you to backspin the record? I'm a scratch dj and am always lookin for an advantage.

@@quarterpoundmusic I’m not sure 🤔 I don’t have much trouble working around it if I need to spin the record back for sampling purposes, but that’s definitely different than the context of scratching/DJing.

@@quarterpoundmusiconly advantage is having hi torque turntables good slipmats and having the turntables set up properly.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!! ✊🏿
