Setting Up the External Sequencer
In the sequencer, create a track for the MIDI channel of:
each MV-8800 part—that plays a patch you want to use.
the Audio Phrase RX Channel—if you’ll be using audio phrases.
the MFX RX Channel—if you’d like to control the MV-8800’s multi-effects
from your sequencer.
To sync audio-phrase playback to the sequencer’s tempo, set the
sequencer to send MIDI clock data during playback.
To learn how to do these things, see your sequencer’s manual. Once you’ve
set up the sequencer, you’re ready to go.
Working in Multi Timbre Sampler Mode
As you play MV-8800 sounds from your sequencer, you’ll operate the
MV-8800 in Multi Timbre Sampler mode.
Multi Timbre Sampler Mode Home Base
Your base of operation in Multi Timbre Sampler mode is
the INSTRUMENTS window—it’s the place where you can
load patches you need, and where you can adjust their part
settings.

Workshop booklet.
The EFFECTS and MIXER Windows
As you work in Multi Timbre Sampler mode, you can tweak your:
effects—Press the MV-8800’s EFFECTS button to select and edit the
effects your MV-8800 patches and audio phrases use.
mixer settings—Press the MV-8800’s MIXER button to adjust the levels,
panning, effects, and output routings of your patches and audio
phrases.
You can actually control many of the settings we’ve just mentioned
from your sequencer using MIDI Control Change messages. See the
MV-8800 Owner’s Manual for details on these advanced operations.
While your external sequencer is playing, stay in the MV-8800’s
INSTRUMENTS, EFFECTS, and MIXER windows—or on the PATTERN
and SONG screens—to ensure successful Multi Timbre Sampler mode
operation.
Audio Phrase Operations
As you work with an external sequencer, you can edit existing audio
phrases—or assign new ones—whenever the sequencer is stopped. Press
AUDIO PHRASES, as usual, to perform any audio phrase operations you like.
When you’ve finished, press the INSTRUMENTS button before resuming
sequencer playback or recording.
You can sample while an external sequencer is playing MV-8800 sounds.
This lets you sing or play along and capture your performance as a
sample. You can then stop the sequencer and use Quick Assign to send
the sample to a patch, or assign it as an audio phrase. See the MV-8800
Sampling Workshop booklet for more details on sampling.
