Project and disk management

Folder structure

Data is saved on the MV-8000's internal hard disk in the following folder structure. The
various types of data are stored as follows.

/ (root folder)

This is the “root” of the drive. Your data is kept in the following
three folders:
• the PROJECTS folder
• the USER folder
• the PATCHES folder

PROJECTS (projects folder)

Project data is saved in this folder. This folder contains one project
for each folder you save.

(project name).PRJ

Each.PRJ folder contains the data for one project. The folder has the
same name as the project name, with an extension of “.PRJ”.

When you back up a project to a USB-connected computer, you must back up the entire folder.
For details, refer to

Backing up a project from the MV-8000 to your computer

(p. 152).

USER (user folder)

You are free to use this folder for exchanging data with a connected computer. For
example, you can import WAV files from your computer via this folder.

PATCHES (patches folder)

This folder contains a variety of patches (“pre-installed patches”) that you will find
convenient when creating songs.

The root directory and each project folder contains other folders and files in addition
to those explained above. These folders and files contain data used by the MV-8000's
system. You must never copy, move, modify, or delete them. If you do, the system
will not operate correctly, and your data will be lost. Roland Corporation will not
guarantee that the MV-8000 will operate correctly if you access these folders or files.
