Using the MV-8000 in Multitimbre

Sampler Mode

In Multi Timbre Sampler mode, the MV-8000's instruments function as a multi-timbral
sound module, and the performance data from the velocity pads is transmitted as
MIDI messages (MIDI OUT A/B, R-BUS).

Playing the MV-8000 from an externally-connected

sequencer

Here's how the MV-8000 can function as a multi-timbral sound module receiving
multiple channels of MIDI performance data from an externally-connected MIDI
sequencer.

This setting lets the MV-8000 receive performance data from your external MIDI
sequencer, so that the MV-8000's instruments will play.
5.

Press .

Sequence screen will appear.

6.

Start playback on your external sequencer.

The MV-8000's instruments will play the performance data being sent from your
external MIDI sequencer.
