• Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS” (Owner’s Manual p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (Owner’s Manual p. 3),

and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (Owner’s manual p. 5). These sections provide important

information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured

that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Quick Start and

Owner’s Manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand

as a convenient reference.

• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown

by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the

system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always

match what appears in the manual.

What is a pattern?

A pattern is somewhat like a short song. You can create several patterns, and then

combine them to create a song. You can also use the pads to play (play back) patterns.

Some advantages of patterns

• You can start inputting data right away, even before deciding on the overall

structure of the song.

• Patterns can be conveniently used to create songs consisting of loops that are

each several measures long.

• You can rearrange the patterns to easily try out different versions of your song.

• You can use patterns as a place to store ideas for songs.

Using patterns and projects together

●

Pattern

●

Song

A pattern track has been added, letting you place various patterns in any playback

order you like.

If you edit the contents of a pattern (for example in the PATTERN EDIT screen), your

changes will be reflected by the patterns you've pasted in the pattern track.

●

Project

Up to 500 patterns can exist within a project. You can use these patterns from sixteen

songs.

What is a pattern?

●

Differences between songs and patterns

The procedure for Pattern recording, editing, and setting operations is essentially the

same as for Song operations (e.g., in the SEQUENCE screen).

Limitations when using patterns

• You can't layer two or more patterns so that they play simultaneously.

• Each pattern contains a tempo setting, but if it's being played within a song, the

song tempo will be used.

Song

Pattern

Audio Track

8 1

MIDI Track 128 64

Pattern Track (New function) 1 N/A

Tempo Track 1

N/A

(BPM and time signature are specified for the entire pattern)

Measures 9,999 999

Markers 99 N/A

Locators 10 N/A

Loop anywhere the entire pattern

Loop Quick Set possible not possible

External Sync possible not possible

Mixdown possible not possible

The pattern uses the same

instrument settings as the

song.

You can't mixdown a pattern

“as-is”; however, you can

place a pattern in the pattern

track of a song, and mix it

down as a section within that

song. The same applies to

external synchronization.

Creating a pattern

There are Song Mode and Pattern Mode in MV-8000. Check followings to confirm in

which mode your MV-8000 is operating.

Song Mode

Pattern Mode

The Song Mode and The Pattern Mode

On this manual, all the

explanation starts from Song

Mode. Please check current

mode before starting

operation.

To switch from Pattern Mode

to Song Mode, press

[SEQUENCE] twice or hold

down [SHIFT] and press

[SEQUENCE]. (p. 54).

If you switch the screen, the

your MV-8000 is operating in Song Mode.

When PATTERN screen or PATTERN EDIT screen is displayed,

your MV-8000 is operating in Pattern Mode.

When PATTERN button is red, your MV-8000 is operating in Pattern Mode.

Value

Explanation

OverDub1

The new material you record will be added to the existing material

without erasing it. By using this type in conjunction with Loop

without erasing the existing material. For example this is a

convenient way to record a drum track, since you can record bass

drum

→

snare drum

→

hi-hat etc. on each successive pass.

OverDub2

This is new function in version 3.0 software. When newly recorded

note events at the same time location as previously recorded note

events will replace the older events.

Replace

The new material you record will replace the existing material. Use

this type when you want to re-record your performance.

Value

Explanation

Off
