• Command—This button displays a menu of operations the
MV-8000 can perform on your audio phrase’s sample:
• Emphasis—Turn this on to add a high-end boost to
your sample, if you want to.
• Normalize—If you haven’t already normalized your
sample, and want to now, use this command.
• Time Stretch—If you want to permanently change the
tempo of your sample, use this command.
• Truncate—If you haven’t already trimmed your sample,
and want to now, use this command.
• Set Mono—This makes a stereo audio phrase mono.
Making a Patch
Here’s how to get a sample into a patch for playing. You can
create a patch that plays just one sound—such as a kick
drum—you’ll record by itself on a sequencer track. Or maybe
you want to add a new sample to an already-existing patch.
To add a sample to a patch that already exists, that patch has to be in the
current project and assigned to one of the parts in the current song.
In the Quick Assign window shown on Page 9, click
AsgnToPatch—the PATCH QUICK ASSIGN window appears.
The currently
selected pad
is outlined in
black.
Any pad that
already plays
a sample is
gray.
This shows you the the key, or keys, that play the sample from a connected MIDI keyboard.
1. Select the desired part. If you want to:
• create a new patch that plays your sample—select a
part that’s set to Init Patch (as shown above).
• add your sample to an already-existing patch—select a
part that’s playing that patch.
2. Select the pad that’ll play your new sample by:
• dialing in the desired pad—using the first Assign To
parameter. (The second one is grayed-out.)
• striking the desired pad—in the current bank. To change
pad banks, press the PAD BANKS button, pick the bank
you want, click Close, and then hit the desired pad.
Though you’ll normally assign your sample to an unused pad, you can
actually stack up to four samples on a pad. This lets you create layered
sounds or set the pad to play different samples depending on how hard you
whack it, as explained on Page 58 of the MV-8000 Owner’s Manual.
To learn how to play samples across a range of pads, at different pitches,
see the MV-8000 Spreading a Sample Across the Pads Workshop booklet.
3. Click Execute.
The MV-8000 takes you back to the SAMPLING screen in
case you want to create another sample.
Playing Your Patch
1. Press the INSTRUMENTS button to
display the current song’s instruments
in the INSTRUMENTS window.
2. Select the part that uses your patch.
3. Strike the pad that plays your sample.
Normally, you control the volume of a sound by how hard you hit its pad.
To automatically make your sounds loud, light the FIXED VELOCITY button
above the pads. By default, this’ll make your sounds play at full volume.
