Parts of the MV-8000 and what they do

1.

MULTILEVEL button

This button assigns a different level of
velocity (playing strength) to each of the
sixteen velocity pads. Striking pad 1 will
produce a velocity level of 7, and striking
pad 16 will produce a velocity level of 127
(p. 74).
2.

FIXED VELOCITY button

This button makes a velocity pad ignore
the force (velocity) with which you
actually strike; the pad will always
produce a specified velocity value
(indicator lit orange). Use the
PAD
screen
(p. 321) to specify the velocity
value.
3.

EVENT ERASE button

Use this button to delete a note message from the sequence data. While recording
sequence data, you can erase a specific note message by holding down [EVENT
ERASE] and pressing the pad that corresponds to the unwanted note message.

4.

PAD BANKS button

By switching the sixteen velocity pads to another bank you can use a larger variety of
musical sources. Six patch banks and 32 audio phrase banks are provided.

5.

QUICK EDIT button

This button lets you edit the sounds that are assigned to the velocity pads. Strike the
pad whose sound you want to edit, and then press [QUICK EDIT] to access the

PARTIAL EDIT screen

(p. 276) or

AUDIO PHRASE EDIT screen

(p. 303), where you
can immediately edit the sound of that pad.

6.

CLIPBOARD button

This button lets you temporarily store data for the sound assigned to a velocity pad.
Hold down the pad that you want to store and press [CLIPBOARD], and the pad data
will be copied to the clipboard (the indicator will light red). When the red indicator is
lit, hold down [CLIPBOARD] and strike a different velocity pad; the data will be
copied from the clipboard to the velocity pad you struck.
7.

DELETE button

To delete the material (partial or audio phrase) assigned to a velocity pad, hold down
[DELETE] and strike that pad.

8.

ROLL button

By holding down [ROLL] and striking a velocity pad you can produce a roll (rapidly
repeated strikes).

9.

HOLD button

By holding down [HOLD] and striking a velocity pad you can make the pad stay in the
pressed state (the indicator will light red). Press [HOLD] once again to cancel the hold
function (the indicator will go dark).
10.

VELOCITY PADS

Use these pads to input sequences and play samples. Since the pads are
velocity-sensitive (i.e., each pad detects the force with which you strike it), you can use
them to add dynamic variation to your performance. The pads are also sensitive to
polyphonic aftertouch; they can respond to the force with which you press them after
the initial strike.
If MULTILEVEL=on or FIXED
VELOCITY=on, the force with
which you strike the pad is
ignored.
The contents of the clipboard
are preserved until you
perform one of the following
actions.
•Turn off the power
•
Load a project
•Overwrite the clipboard by
copying data to it
•Press
[DELETE]+[CLIPBOARD]
The spacing between notes of
the roll can be set by the PAD
screen (p. 321) Roll Interval
parameter, or in a popup
accessed by pressing [SHIFT] +
[ROLL].
While you're playing a roll,
aftertouch data is converted to
velocity.
