Synthesis, sampling, recording, mixing, and mastering all in one box
Sound library onboard
Amazing pitch and time control
Vintage and modern effects onboard

Synthesis, sampling, recording, mixing, and 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
With the MV-8800 you can create your own sounds or load up to 128 instruments or drum kits at once from the MV-formatted sound library that's preinstalled 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 in the MV-8800's sound library.

Amazing pitch and time control
The MV-8800 lets you 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 and modern effects onboard
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.

Music Background: Indie Label Producer, Aspiring Musician, and Music Lover.

“Overall you can not beat what this machine has to offer. If I had known about this machine, I would have bought it before I bought my fantom!

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"After putting the Roland MV-8800 through its paces in my studio I can say without reservation that the MV-8800 represents a major advancement in the eternal quest to develop a comprehensive in-the-box production solution for the producers of R&B, rap, hip-hop, and electronic music." Michael Grebe
		"PHENOMENAL!! The MV-8800 is a sampler, sequencer, synthesizer, and mastering studio all in on package. You can even use a monitor and a mouse with it. There are no other samplers out there that can touch the MV-8800. It's the most powerful groove production box on the market, and it is the secret weapon for the latest hip hop producers who want to work faster and sound better than the rest." Carson McClain
		"The MV8800 rocks! It actually comes with its own sounds. And it's got a built-in synthesizer! It gives me the power to make music way better." Nate Edwards
