I'm pretty sure you can just get a normal disc reader (such as built in a pc or laptop) and drop the audio file from the computers external storage to your daw
Sup Dave! Thank You for tuning in! Oh, that’s nice! I enjoy working with the MV, sure it has some quirks when it comes to handling samples, but besides that it’s a nice piece of gear. Yeah, the Deluge looks interesting, and and pretty sure workflow is totally different. 😊
I had the same problem with the sample fading out towards the end. I found a different workaround though and just thought I'd share it with you so you can free up that control knob for something else. In the INST EDIT menu, change the Env Mode from "NO-SUS" to "SUSTAIN". After doing this, the sample will still fade at the end if you only hit the pad once but if you hold the pad down for the duration of the sample it will not decay at the end and will play at normal volume. Hope that helps! Thanks for making this video. I learned some new tips from you!
Totally agree, same with the MV-1.. the biggest difference is that you need to micro sampling on the MV compared to the SP workflow.. where you can set your start end while playing the sample + truncate! Sampling might not be the strongest thing on the MV but the sequencing/arranging 💪🏻
Have you already, or planning on doing it? I feel like it’s not up to par with Maschine or MPC. I haven’t used the MV1 for quite some time, and maybe they’ve fixed a lot of issues.
@@BoombapArt I currently have a machine and I want to get a standalone, so I was considering the the MV or the MPC one…. The mv little screen is a major blow… i’m too old for the menu diving lolol.. appreciate your input, bro💯
@bigmorris80able Maschine Plus, but that’s a bump up in price. Even tho I don’t like the mpc one workflow it’s still a great product and value for the money and you’ll have a better sample editing experience with the One over MV1 that’s for sure.. but the Maschine+ in standalone beats all of them 😁
@@BoombapArt You lost me at 17:01 when you said "put them in a mute group "while pressing buttons to change the voice to single. My question is how did you change or move from SAMPLE EDIT to INST EDIT on the screen? Thanks !
@@wycliffekog3517 sup! Sorry for the confusion, it’s been a while with the machine.. but if I remember correctly you’ll find “sample edit” and “instrument edit” under the “Edit button”..
The 8800 looks interesting, maybe should see if I can lay my hands on one in the future! I do like the straight forward workflow on the MV-1, even if the sampling/edit is quite wonky.
@@BoombapArt I think it's a great Piece of equipment but for sample it's too much going on for me. I guess that's the reason why I never bought a sp. I use to looking at a waveform and getting jiggy with it. It's not a bad thing.. it's simply just my preference of working. I could get use to the mv1 workflow but I think I'm at a stage where I just want to get things done faster. Even though the mv8800 is slower than all the new stuff that's out now. It still has so much unbelievable features in it that most hardware didn't or still doesn't have. It was literally the workstation/studio. You could throw all the Roland phantom sounds in it and buy an expansion device and add more sounds it to complete the Roland phantom keyboard features. Connect a screen to it and work in it like any d.a.w. dude if you never had on you should look at getting your hands on one soon. Prices are still high because the machine is out of this world but it's worth every penny brother. Even a mv8000 is pretty good but the mv8800 just takes the cake. Roland was definitely ahead of their time with the mv8800 bro. It was scary for most but everything you needed in or out the studio if you are serious about your artwork. I use to walk around my neighborhood with my mv8800 everywhere because I couldn't go a day without it being next to me. The sound is just amazing man... 🥲
Thanks! Never tried the MPC One, but I do think that’s the winner when it comes to sampling/edit samples to be honest. The workflow on the MV1 is not very difficult once you get familiar with the menus. Arranging a song/beat on the MV is easy and straight forward. Not sure how that works on the MPC.. and lastly I think the MPC has more i/o compared to the MV1.
@@BoombapArt thanks, I think you might be right. I also could plug in a guitar/ bass/ keyboard directly into the MV1 which is a bonus. And I could sample with a mic too. Lots of options. I agree that Workflow on the MV1 looks super straight forward and much easier to follow (which is why I am now back over to the MV1 side)!
Great tutorial. I’m about getting decided between mv1 or mc101. I d like to sample live My guitar but it doesn’t look like it is possible with those two guys. Any advice ? Thanks.
Really helpful, thanks!! Got the lightning cable gonna try to sample from phone later. Just wondering; why do I need to put the samples in a mute group? Cool beat also
A sweet! It’s a MUST have, and specially if you’re an iPhone/iPad user and wanna have that external screen and control options. If you don’t place your samples in a mute group they won’t cut off.. so depending on how precise your samples are they will overlap.
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻 I think that would be the MK3 to be honest, the one piece of gear I’ve spent most time with, sampling and sample edit is super fast as well as arranging beats.. but I really like not having a computer hooked up, so either 707, 101, 404 or MV1 are great gear.
@@BoombapArt that’s my goal to get away from the computer. It’s a love hate thing. The computer is easier but I work on the computer too. I need breaks from it.
@@bjamminsincebirth3494 I definitely hear you! That’s the pro/con working with the MK3.. you’re still on the computer! For me that’s where the MV-1 comes in, just a power cord and I can sample into it from my phone or turntable and just be in the moment. I love it!
Roland devices and MPCs are totally different. I don’t really like the MPC workflow, but MV1 is not my first choice either. It lacks in the sampling/editing department. MV1 definitely have a better “song mode/arranger” than the mpc..
When I record a 4 bar melody sample in and place on the first bar of the sequencer. It slowly fades out throughout all 4 bars. How can I get the same to stay at the same level on all 4 bars?
I think you can change that by switching “no-sustain” to “sustain” in “inst edit” or “sample edit”.. or like I did in the video 14:20 .. use one ctrl knob with decay
Question: how do you save a kit of samples you've put together? I'm looking through the manual but can't tell Also, can you merge vocal tracks to save space?
I think you can save it as a template, not sure if you can save like a preset.. I haven’t tried, and all my beats I’ve put together are just saved projects. I’m pretty sure you can’t merge tracks, unless you bounce it out and import it back in.
@@BoombapArt Thanks for the response! much appreciated Yeah I can't find anything on saving kits, which, if I bought the mv-1 would be the primary thing I'd wanna do with it
After seeing just a few of your videos i feel like buying this Maschine eventough I have no experience at all in this..but I have faith i will learn fast, one question for you my friend,, do you recommend me to buy the arturia midi or akai? I already order the same scratch record player like yours 👌🙂 Hola from Madison Wisconsin
Hi D! I’ve spent countless hours with the Maschine and it’s a really nice piece of equipment, no question about it! I would definitely go with Arturia Keystep! Ah sweet, the PT01 is really nice to have and also it’s portable 👌🏻
@@BoombapArt whats the difference between the komplete kontrol M32 and the arturia? If they are the same but different brand which one you recommend to buy?
@@dhaniivan12kilian if you’re planning to stick with the NI eco system, the M32 works flawlessly..but if you thinking about grabbing other types of gear (standalone) and wanna hook it up via Midi I suggest going with Arturia... I mean the Keystep will work inside the Maschine software, and you might not need the transport controls on the keyboard if you have the MK3 close to you. In my opinion Arturia Keystep wins, the keybed feels a little bit better, more versatile.. but the M32 is really good.
Thanks. That doesn’t seem right, sounds weird. Right now I don’t have the MV in front of me, so I can’t guid you, but there must be a video out there explaining how to load a pack.
Hello Boombap, would you advice this machine to play around with sampling guitarlicks and chords etc, to write or atleast figure out songs, without the hassle of a laptop and logic and an interface etc?
For structuring songs, play chords it’s a nice piece of machine. I haven’t messed around anything with my guitar yet. The sampling/editing is quite limited. The new sp404mkii can handle that much better, and what I’ve seen it has nice amps for guitar as well + it’s an interface. The sequencer might not be as intuitive as on the MV1, but you have the option to either sequence or record jams..
@@BoombapArt thanks for the reply, i also like the sounds in the mv, and drumkits. I won’t do much sample editing. Just record a lick an put it under a pad.
I can't get the samples to stop trailing off, I put decay all the way up and the sample still gets lower at the end.... Do you have any suggestions for me my friend?
The way to fix the samples fading out is to go into the pad parameters for those samples and change the Env mode from no-sus to sustain and that will fix it
@@grazstarr I Don’t have this “problem” with the 101.. the samples play all the way through from the start to end and nothing needs to be changed.. it’s just a bit weird on the MV.
@@BoombapArt weird! I have the problem you have with the sound fading on the 101! My fix is the same as yours in this vid, going into the decay and extending it. But the no-sus/sustain doesnt work the same as yours... strange. If I put it to sustain I have to go into the sequencer and "tie" every single step for as long as I want the sample to play for, that way it wont keep playing after it's stopped being triggered... if that makes sense.. anyway still really happy with my 101 but loved the video man. Cheers!
Oh, I could be mistaken, I mean I often use very short samples so it’s not that noticeable.. but once I tried to sample into the Verselab it was very obvious.. I haven’t tried the sustain thing on either devices, and you’re probably right about it. I love the 101, so easy to work with.. and it might be an update soon 🤭
After you perform slice sample on the MV is possible to edit the slice start/end after u execute it? Or does it become a new sample after u execute slice?
It becomes a new sample once you execute, so you’re stuck with the slice and that start/end.. but you can still edit the S/E afterwards but not extend it.
@@BoombapArt I mean its not a dealbreaker for me. I mostly like the sample feature for getting sounds/audio in the MV to be sequenced. The start/end editing in your vid didn't look bad at all IMO and I really rarely ever auto chop samples.
Oh, that’s a hard one.. two totally different machines and workflows, but Yes I can recommend the MV-1, but at the same time it’s really nice to have the 404 in your arsenal for many reasons. I recommend both! 👊🏻
@@BoombapArt you’re right, I enjoyed this video and your workflow and it made me second guess 😅 I have an ableton push 2 and was going to complement that with the Sp. slowly inching toward a standalone workflow.
@@TheButtaSpot Thanks! 👊🏻 either way, any combo with the SP works to be honest, and I guess the Push 2 is a really powerful tool.. but I hear you about the standalone.. same with me and the MK3, it’s nice to get away from the computer.
Hey! How to sample to the 101 and are you happier with the Verselab now after a while or which one is your favourite box to work with at the moment? 😊😃✨🎶🎶🎶
To be honest, both are great.. of course it’s convenient to sample straight into the Verselab, but it goes faster to have chops ready from the computer. The Verselab has a faster workflow overall, easier to arrange.. so my vote goes to MV1 at the moment 😁
@@BoombapArt Great, I want to do Voclals too so it feels like that one is for me, bu I need to learn how to use the 101 better before I buy anything else 😊
Thanks man.. I was looking at getting an sp for my setup but have the MV I figured it must be as capable. How do you use the vocal track.. it’s still a mystery to me… I understand it can only be used once you have a track laid out and it also has its own memory 🤷🏻♂
Sup Chris! It is as capable as the sp, It has a better sequencer BUT lack in the sampling/chopping department. Now when you have proper pitch, can see the waveform, got a sequencer and a “song mode” on the 404 MK2 I think the 404 is a better option. To be honest I haven’t used the vocal track once, it never clicked for me.. and my initial thoughts were to use it as a guitar track but due to the lack of sampling editing in the machine overall I never used it. What else do you have in your setup?
@@BoombapArt I currently have the MV, MC101, tb-3, tb03, Korg ESX1 +2, korg EMX1, Arturia Keystep pro all connected to a Roland Mx1… I also have a Novation bass station, Roland jx305 and an Akai Force.
The list you shared, seems like you have everything you need 👌🏻.. my personal opinion is that I think everyone should have a 404 in their arsenal no matter how they’re planning on using it. Great for processing sounds, as a standalone unit itself, for fx and performances. If I had to choose between the MV and SP, I would go with the SP.. and I prefer the 101 over MV even though you can’t sample with the 101..
@@BoombapArt I agree.. now the new unit is out there are a lot of cheap units on eBay. But.. Koala sampler on iOS is really good and if you add a midi controller to the mix you have total control.. idk.. I am going to keep an eye out for a SP and use what I have for now. Going to work on using the MV for sampling just now and see how I get on.
Sure has a learning curve.. but not that complicated. Depending on how you’re planning to use it, and it’s not the most intuitive gear when it comes to sampling/editing samples.
In somewhat way easier on the 707, you have a visual representation of the sample.. but I wouldn’t say that’s a huge advantage though, I’ve been spending more time with my Roland gear lately like the 404, 101 & MV.. I don’t find it harder to use my ears instead of eyes to be honest.. but with a visual waveform it goes a bit faster when you know where the kicks/snares are etc.. but I do enjoy dialing in my ears instead of eyes. Much appreciated my friend! 🙏🏻
@@Darren950 The 707 is more complexed with the synth engine, a little more menu diving.. honestly, I would go with the MV! It’s also very convenient having Zenbeats to hook up your phone/tablet straight to the machine for mixing/arranging purposes. Also, Zenbeats keeps pushing out features.. they have a visual waveform for the “reverse” feature, I’m hoping for a trimming feature in the near future.
I’m not sure if there’s a proper solution.. I think I tried something with the 101 while back but it didn’t work as I wanted it.. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but if you try to set the pad to “SUSTAIN” and set a negative decay value.. I’m not sure it works tho.. if you figure something out please let me know! 👊🏻
@@BoombapArt i came here looking for this discussion. a proper gate mode would be fantastic. really hope roland doesn't let this one go.. its got so much potential, there are just some things that could use some work. undo, gate, fix that sample error thing we all get, and id like to be able to change between workflow modes without it retriggering. really fucks up the groove.
Hey sorry man but one last question and I’m good! I tried doing the muted pad that ave Mcree showed ya. And it just doesn’t do it. Am I missing something? Once again thanks again
@BoombapArt Yeah, I'm getting that error message every time I try to assign my recorded sample to a pad. But the sample ends up on the pad as I wanted but still with the error message. Very weird. Anyway, if you can shed anymore light on that bug I am all ears! Cheers my friend.
@@BoombapArt Hey man, just checking back in on the error discussed above. Are you still getting it today? Or have you figured out what is causing it? Thnx for any info. I have not seen anymore firmware updates yet.
@@BoombapArt Oh ok, yes I still get the error. I watched Noisegates video called "Roland Verselab Tutorial: Sample Anything and Everything.." and it was not happening to him. So I thought I'd ask. I left a comment there too.
@@djantix1200 do you get the error every time? I got it a couple of times during my “sampling video”, but not all the time.. not sure what’s up with that 🤷🏼♂️ nothing happened besides the message, no corrupted audio or anything..
I think that’s the same sample, a really dope one! As I mentioned earlier in a comment, luckily I have a stepdad with great music taste who bought me the records 😊
I don’t know to be honest.. I had this bunch of 45s my stepdad gave me for my birthday recently and I just went through the pile really quick for this tutorial 😬☕️.. but I can probably look that up when I’m in the studio next time 👊🏻
This instructional video is gold! Thank you for making everything so clear and accessible, the cords connections info alone just saved me several hours of moving back and forth between manual, terrible RU-vid instructionals and my verse lab. Stoked to sample. Love your beats!
