Roland MV-8800 Production Studio - Scratch 'n' Dent

Produce finished tracks with this fully integrated hip hop/R&B production powerhouse!

Roland sets a new standard in music production power and flexibility with the MV 8800. Based on the Roland MV 8000 that has been a coveted centerpiece for many of the world's greatest hip hop and R&B producers, the MV 8800 adds even more power to create massive grooves and sinuous beats.

Synthesis, Sampling, Recording, Mixing, Mastering
The MV 8800 is a fully equipped sampler and synthesizer with parameters that can be edited and automated with the assignable sliders and/or with a VGA monitor and mouse (VGA monitor optional, mouse included). It's also an advanced multitrack recorder equipped with an automated 24 channel stereo mixer and mega effects processor. Mastering tools are provided as well, including a parametric mastering EQ, enhancer, expander, multiband compressor, mastering limiter and soft clip algorithm with output dithering.

Sound Library Onboard
Create your own sounds or load up to 128 instruments or drum kits at once from the MV formatted sound library that's pre installed on the hard drive. Newly created drum kits are provided, including a special collection of 16 vintage drum machines such as the legendary Roland TR 808 and TR 909. Acoustic and electric pianos, strings, guitars, horns, synth basses and other essential instruments are also included.

Amazing Pitch & Time Control
Load hundreds of loops, hits, or vocal phrases at once, all with realtime BPM matching. Just tap the tempo, and all the samples lock to your new tempo! You can match the pitches of melodic phrases just as easily. Create loop based tracks on the fly, all locked together in perfect pitch and time sync.

Vintage & Modern Effects
An incredible lineup of modern and vintage effects is built into the MV 8800, including models of classic Roland SRV reverbs, SDD 320 Chorus, SBF 325 Flanger, Boss BF 2 and HF 2 pedals, and the legendary RE 201 Space Echo. The MV 8800's multi effects processor includes an Analog Modeling Bass that turns the MFX engine into a virtual SH style bass synthesizer. All MFX knob tweaks can be automated as you mix.
