Thanks for making a video on the MV-1 Gabe! I don't mind tiny screens either, and the workflow seems pretty straightforward and intuitive for me. The one biiiggggg upside this has compared to the MPC One is the ability to record vocals on the device itself; as a vocalist this is a huge plus!

I was hoping you'd get to play with this... There's a couple of things I don't like about this thing, but overall I'm really happy with it. I find that playing in melodies, either with the on-board pads or a mini keyboard, is a bit hit and miss, but that may just be a quantization issue. Sometimes chords don't get recorded into the sequencer, I'll play back what I recorded and only one of the notes of a chord is actually audible. The Zen Core engine is just ridiculously brilliant. As is the sequencer and workflow. I've never owned an MC-101, and I was deciding between the 707 and this one. I may at some poit just add a 707 to my setup, but I am thrilled with this thing so far.

Aye cool, been watching ur videos for a while. This is really awesome! Recently got back into dawless music making, I’ve had the older MC505/808 and jumped the leap to the MV1. I’ve had it since late January. I really like the unit. Recently they released the 1.03 patch. It got some fixes. I still learned things from your video, like changing the presets for different clips. Thanks a lot! That’s really cool! Hope to see another video on this unit with maybe some extra tips and shortcuts or just music. U make cool tunes also!!

Thanks for the explanation how things works. Roland made a good job. It can be used also in addition to Zenbeats, which runs on PC or IPad. It was a hard decision to me, but I finally preferred Akai Live 2 for built in speaker and battery. The touch screen is also a big plus.

I have been SOOOOO hoping that you would do a video on this device because I have been eyeballing it really hard and you do tend to do a rather thorough exploration on devices I can't help but think that it is inevitable that this becomes part of my gear setup the only other devices that I'm really looking at are the 1010 music Black Box and Blue Box the whole DAW in a box or standalone production station especially one with sampling capabilities has really taken a hold on my way of thinking about music production.

Thank you for posting! Was hoping you get get ahold of one of those.. thinking of breaking into drum machines with the Roland Verselab... or MC707 or go Native Instruments MK3 (probably not Maschine + since I don’t mind using the computer as a hub). Looking forward to your experience with it. Probably would be easier to learn on this than have say having learned like you on the other machines.. so unlearn and relearning.

Thanks for the vid Gabe, This MPC over Verselab is just a preference and work flow thing . if you want to work with samples and do all that sample editing, go with the MPC.... but if you are like me and want to write complete songs...and want old school sounds...and the goal is to have the unit load up a song to be played as a completed cohesive piece, then Verselab is for you...it's made for that process. I will also use the vocal track for a 'live synth' or midi it up and run it into the mix..... My production moves further on from the sequence created, to a digital mixer with vocals, bass, guitars, etc....... Verselab makes the song ideas come faster and easier....... people bashing verselab are not realizing who this machine is meant for...... It will be a real plus for my music. Circuit/Electribe/ can't do song mode well at all, and MPC, Maschine are just a different animal.(talk about a process to get a 'song' developed) I live the 80's mode of music and the verselab will keep me there in spirit and sound ! Thanks Roland !...and again thanks for the review, I will not see mine for about a month yet.....can't wait !

@dovepaige
@dovepaige 3 года назад
It's my understanding from listening to other people that the vocal track can be populated with both lead vocals and backing vocals... divided into two groups on the same track I believe??? from what I've heard other people say, I don't fully comprehend it especially since I don't have one there in front of me to experiment with and my comprehension of groove boxes is some what limited since the MC 101 is my first actual groove box unless you could consider the Yamaha QY10 a groove box... I always used it more as just like a musical scratch pad that was my first piece of gear ever.
@GuitarZenTen
@GuitarZenTen 3 года назад
I think the way it works is you can have 16 vocal "takes" on each song. So you could for example use take 1 for the chorus lead vox, take's 2, 3 and 4 for lead vox on some verses and still have a load of takes left for backing, etc. Not sure if that's 100% how it works haven't tried vocals much yet.

Great vid gabe! Question: does the the tone tracks on the verselab function the same way as the mc101 (as far as random sound algorithm and tweaking the tone sounds via tone settings?

@HoraceAndTheSpider
@HoraceAndTheSpider 3 года назад
As an original owner of the MC-303 from 1998(!!) I've actually seen quite a few similarities in this device. A shame it doesn't appear to have the classic step-sequencer buttons being used as a chromatic keyboard! I was actually thinking the other day about what the MC-101 misses that the MC-303 had - I'd love to see a f/w update bring in those amazing arpeggiators with an excess of variable/settings to the MC-101! Of course it also has 'more' (although simpler) tracks, and has a good song-structure workflow. What it lacks is the modern stuff; the sampler, switching sounds on single tracks and *that* synth engine. I'd also like to see Roland find a way to give us 4 extra MIDI-only tracks into the MC-101 but I doubt that is happening soon. If i wasn't already a massive convert to the MC-101/TR-6S combination I might have considered this... however, like yourself I've found my flow with the MC-101 for both structuring live songs and for creating new loops to go into the DAW, and at this price-point and without the mega-small portability factor of the MC-101, this is more likely a better fit for my vocalist! Really appreciate the insightful video. Look forward to seeing some more on it just out of curiosity.
@GabeMillerMusic
@GabeMillerMusic 3 года назад
Glad you dig the video! I should mention that both devices have the exact same synth engine and the tracks are the same. It's one of the reasons I was so pumped to give it a go. And the MC-101 does have the arp and the ability to change patches on a clip basis, it's just kind of hidden.
@HoraceAndTheSpider
@HoraceAndTheSpider 3 года назад
@@GabeMillerMusic True, but if you think the MC101 arpeggiator is good, the MC-303 ones appears insane by comparison - there's a copy of the 'video manual' on YT for and i'd say jump to around 1min 30s of that to see what i mean! It's one thing i think Roland could add comparatively easily that we are missing, is the depth of options there.

Yes, it "strange' vocal-focused startegy, which Roland probably trying to reach out to hip-hop rappers (no offence to genre), who likely will stick to MPC (or Maschine). They would rather position it as an all-in-one device for Pop-singers and Synthwave instrumentalists, who can also connect a synth in place of vocal (who also don't want to harm other with their singing :) Apart from extra daw/flow features (and price) does the VerseLab as good as 101/707? WRT sound packs and loading/tweaking tones. Does it support Zencore + extensions as others? I don't see it listed in Zencore hardware (maybe yet). Can you even tweak essential params on a tone (synth/sample) or just loading presets? I like VerseLab for more tracks and larger 4x4 pads (in place of a mixer). If it offers same sound design options as 101 I'd go. TNX for bringing light on few question I had about it. Cheers!
@GabeMillerMusic
@GabeMillerMusic 3 года назад
As far as I know, it's the exact same synth engine. I didn't get into it much in the video, but you have all the same tone editing parameters you have on the MC-101. It should support expansions and all that as well. I definitely plan to hook up some external synths to take advantage of the vocal track. I think it's a smart move on Roland's part, but the marketing might alienate people who aren't vocalists but could still get a ton out of this.

I'd say either will serve you well. If you want to work with samples more, I'd say go for the MPC One. If you like the Roland synthesis sound, the MV-1 might be more up your alley.

You could also plug the Microfreak into it (not sure if the MV-1 can output MIDI note data) and use it to record a lead or bassline, which would also give you some of the effects that the Microfreak doesn't have. I run a Microfreak through the External in on a MC707 and MFX makes it a completely different beast.

@GabeMillerMusic 3 года назад
That's something I've been thinking about and definitely want to explore. It would be even more powerful if I can figure out a way to get the MV-1 to sequence the MicroFreak as well, which should be totally doable.

Nothing against the MV-1, just doesn't seem to be an MV to me. The 8000/8800 was as DAW replacement as you an get, but this doesn't strike me as being in the same "Song Production Studio" realm as those MV's of old. More like another groove box with a focus on vocals. And while you don't mind the small screen, the big screen was largely the point of those old MV's, the 8800 touting external monitor support even. Anyway, I guess in the the end it doesn't matter what it's called, it just isn't an MV. Next vid please show off the vocal stuffs. Not what you normally do but give it a shot if you would. Thx for the vid.
@GabeMillerMusic
@GabeMillerMusic 3 года назад
I'm not all that familiar with the original MVs, but I think a good comparison is the newer MCs. It's basically a groovebox with a song mode, which is great for people like me. I do have a couple ideas for how to use the vocal track, so stay tuned.

You can connect the MV-1 to a tablet/pc for a larger screen. MV-8K user here, the MV8k was $2500+ msrp at release in 2003 (roughly 3500 now). You're talking a whole different league of price points. And back in 2003 people were also saying, quote from the old Roland forum - Because this thing is nothing more than an mpc 2000xl that lets you record vocals on it A.K.A. an "mpc track machine"
@alexwestconsulting
@alexwestconsulting 3 года назад
@@ScooterJackson Best I've seen is integration with zenbeats which isn't the same thing, needing to be chained to and tying up an (expensive) tablet/pc that negates the dawless aesthetic, never mind that Roland notoriously abandons it's software/ios apps (all my aira modular effect units lost ios support after a couple years...not that I don't love them anyway). A monitor output (or large screen) is true dawless, simple and it's forever. The zenbeats solution is cool though, no doubt. The price point difference isn't to be overlooked, but rather than explain the class difference, it rather shines a light on it. Quotes like that came from Akai users comparing the mpc line to the mv line (which is a bit ironic considering the number of people who cull parts from old mpc's to stick in their MV's), not the the mv line compared to the mpc line. But even MC vs MV could have a similar argument, though I do believe that most of us recognize the distinction. But yes, I do believe it's reasonable to say something like like MV-1 to MV-8800 is like the MC-303 to MC-909, age difference notwithstanding, so on that account I'm wrong. And yes, the MV moniker was something of a PR move because at the end of the day it's the best of the MC line. I guess what I SHOULD have said is something simply like "this isn't the natural successor to the MV's of old". I do take your points though. Def to be considered. And I'm not mad they called it an MV as it doesn't really matter, it just seems like a bit of a stretch and MC seems more appropriate to me. Anyway, as an MV user, are you vastly more interested in this one vs the others? Would this replace your old MV? Me personally I'd no doubt go for the mc-707 and bounce to daw proper for vocals/song chaining. I guess in the end I could really envision people making complete tracks on the MV-8000 but the MV-1 seems like aside for working demos, it will inevitably end up being finalized on daw in the end anyway. In the end, I admit I can see an amateur rapper or Grimes type really wanting the MV-1 to bash out ideas very quickly as it rather fosters vocal creativity/freedom in particular. I'm still looking to pick up an 8800 though (and a 707). And here's the big thing: I feel like an MV-9, proper successor to MV-8800, is around the corner. And at that point I'd skip all the other MC's and MV's for it. Frankly, I'd skip the Elektrons too (though I'll never actually get rid of them).
@alexwestconsulting
@alexwestconsulting 3 года назад
@@GabeMillerMusic yup, do some vocal stuffs, I'd love to see someone use the vocals in a creative way (a la Grimes) rather than simply lay out standard verse/chorus vocal tracks (which is what all the other demos do). How does the looper work (loopop showed it off, but didn't integrate into his demo)? Can you interact with the vocal tracks after the fact? Can you play them likes samples? Chop them? Assign to pads?

If I wanted a big color touch screen I’d make music on an iPad. The knobs and dials exist for a reason, it should become muscle memory over time. My OP-Z doesn’t have a screen at all and I can make full tracks with it without connecting it over Bluetooth because it’s just muscle memory and I prefer making music with my ears instead of my eyes.

@alexandrosroussos
@alexandrosroussos 3 года назад
Thx for the video. I found the MV-1 workflow surprisingly pleasant compared to other Roland products. Not bothered at all by the tiny screen either, the iOS/Mac/PC integration can help if you want to re-arrange your track or make fixes here and there. Regarding the clips, time will tell is this way of working is intended. I know the MPC has quite a similar type of clip management, maybe they didn't want to confuse or disappoint people coming from the MPC world. Their definition of "Section" in the MV-1 is very similar to the MPC "Sequences" in that aspect. That forces us to decide on your clips before going ahead with building the song, not necessary a bad thing, and as you show, can be overcome quite easily with pretty straightforward copy/pasting to populate changes. Even if you aren't used to making vocals, you should try the vocal transforming FX as they can let you put down simple vocals with FX that can give a bit of life to your music. This beast has almost a Roland VT-4 built-in. The form factor very convenient, not too big (also was surprised of how compact it was) and it's crazy light, can easily be brought @ friends, gigs or travels (when w'ell be able to). Current firmware (as of v1.03 I've used) still has some bugs like some occasional crackles or incoherences in the workflow, and lack of features. Notably needs : - a vocoder, - ability to define scales and repeat/arp patterns, - sdcard sounds/sample search - more FX slots per track, - side-chain source on the track compressor, - full multi-track stem export (even if it has to be multiple passes) - improved generic driver mode (like adding full access to separate tracks like currently with the vendor driver) but I'm pretty confident Roland will fix all or most of that and then this will be a little powerhouse at quite reasonable price compared to its peers.
@GabeMillerMusic
@GabeMillerMusic 3 года назад
Yeah that makes sense, and to be fair I was able to get used to the new way it deals with sections pretty quickly. I'd love to see sidechain and some of those other features introduced, although I imagine not all of them are possible due to tech limitations. I'd say it's a powerhouse right now though, and I'm hoping Roland keeps it updated the way they've done for the MCs.
@alexandrosroussos
@alexandrosroussos 3 года назад
@@GabeMillerMusic yep actually is already a bit of a powerhouse. Quite surprising to see a different approach away from screens still remains pretty powerful. I mean, the only thing I miss on a more advanced screen on this is the sample trimming/chopping. But the SP404 style is cool too, you find the transient by the ear :) You should try 1010music Blackbox, the opposite approach, and also surprisingly very powerful compared to the number of physical controls and especially size :)
