Roland Verselab MV-1! A Hip Hop Producer Review

Roland Verselab MV-1 review from a hip hop producer's prospective! It's an all-in-one $700 MSRP drum sampler, sequencer, synth, & vocal recording standalone unit from Roland. It has eight tracks, multiple effects, tons ofpresets (using the Zen Cores engine!), & tons of drums. You can import your own drums too via SD card or thru the utility options (storage mode). The biggest up side is the built-in mic. It's not the best quality but it's usable! However, it has an XLR port on the back & phantom power (if you plug it up to a power outlet). You can make it portable via battery pack but you'll lose phantom power (and less lighting on the pads). I noticed there's no undo button or a click track when recording (though you could do your hi hats first to solve that). Samplings a bit "meh" in comparisons to other existing machine but it's "do-able". Overall, it's an above average experience that gets better with time. Let me know how you feel about this review in the comments! 80/100 stamp of approval!

Exactly! The 8000 was the tightest MIDI sequencing I’ve ever gotten, and the overall sound quality I got from my productions on it are still some of my best. This is promising, but a bit of a let down.

Certainly the most entertaining review yet! I like it. Takes me back 20 years when I had Electribes EM-1 and ES-1. The 2 of them ran like $750 together, there was no XLR w/phantom and we're talking about $750, 20 years ago = $1,125 (inflation factor 1.5) Just a little perspective to anyone who don't think this is a bargain. If you look at it like this, now you've got $375 to spend on a microphone and or headphone!

Two points. 'Funny' videos usually aren't. The 'music' for reviews of this kind of gear is usually awful. You went against the grain on both counts. VERY entertaining and music that was (even to this old fart's ears) very listenable. A great and interesting review. You put this piece of kit onto my 'checkitout'list. :-)

Good job reviewing Ave. Didn’t know this was dropping! Wondering why someone would get this over the MC707 though. Are you locked in to the different tracks being what they are designated as, like can I put an instrument on one of the drum tracks. Also, I’m assuming sample time is limited to your SD card is that the case. Can’t wait for you to do another vid to explain the sampling.

Yo Ave I’m looking to get a second groove box to go with my mpc live. I play a bit of guitar an wouldn’t mind rapping again for fun. If I’m looking for good sounds a intuitive step sequencer an plays nice with guitars and other synths. Would you recommend a verselab ? Or maybe the akai force ? I’m a hip hop head and plan on making hip hop or heavily hip hop inspired electronic music. An jamming a bit with my cousin who plays and sings

If it had a bigger screen it would be a no brainer for me however still on the fence. I see some of the promo photos have the MV1 connected to an iPad. Have they told you whether the sample editing can be done through iPad iPhone? I know it’s not exactly the preferred option however being able to slice and edit through an iPhone app would at least help.

Does this have the ability to sample records or things like guitar/synth parts for songs? I like to record lots of real instruments in my music.
@edgi55
@edgi55 3 года назад
Thanks for the video Ave. Right off the bat! I love Roland instruments sounds, truely epic, from the legendary 808 to 909 to 303 but one HUGE or should I say small issue is the ity bity screen size! What's up with that! I have many Roland instruments including the TR-8S which to be fair the samll screen size on the TR-8S is ok because it's not a DAW or trying to be a DAW. When I first heard of the MC-707 Groovebox which is a mobile device with a functioning DAW, I was so excited until I saw the screen size! I counted and the Verselab MV-1 can only accomodate 32 characters on the screen at once .It's so small and the device is soooo powerful with that tiny screen size you will be menu diving all day which totally kills any creative juice you may have and take forever to get anything done. I mean, compare the tiny size of the Verselab MV-1 to the MPC ONE's screen! Full colour touch screen on a brilliant 7 inch display for the same price and not to mention the fact that you can connect the MPC ONE or LIVE to your computer and use its included MPC Software 2 for additional possibilities. That's why I passed on the MC-707 which is $300 more and purchased the MPC ONE instead. Less menu diving with the way larger screen, included DAW that tried and true and easier workflow. I would not purchase the Verselab MV-1 for that price, it would have to be alot less. Now if it had a larger screen such as the MPC ONE, I may have considered it.
