Sup fam. As a LONG time MV8000 user, I’m glad to see them making drum machines again. And this should do well for most. However, I’d be lying if I didn’t hope that this leads to an MV9000 FINALLY. 👍🏾✌🏾
Exactly! The 8000 was the tightest MIDI sequencing I’ve ever gotten, and the overall sound quality I got from my productions on it are still some of my best. This is promising, but a bit of a let down.
I saw the article about this on Music Radar and thought, "I wonder what Ave thinks about this" and BOOM you posted this video an hour later. Appreciate you.
Certainly the most entertaining review yet! I like it. Takes me back 20 years when I had Electribes EM-1 and ES-1. The 2 of them ran like $750 together, there was no XLR w/phantom and we're talking about $750, 20 years ago = $1,125 (inflation factor 1.5) Just a little perspective to anyone who don't think this is a bargain. If you look at it like this, now you've got $375 to spend on a microphone and or headphone!
I am a huge Roland fan. They got a nostalgic vibe that will never go away. TR-8S is my go to for most stuff but I could see this being good for quick beat ideas.
Two points. 'Funny' videos usually aren't. The 'music' for reviews of this kind of gear is usually awful. You went against the grain on both counts. VERY entertaining and music that was (even to this old fart's ears) very listenable. A great and interesting review. You put this piece of kit onto my 'checkitout'list. :-)
@@AveMcree cool will be interesting to see more about it. right now i'm a little confused on their design thoughts regarding locking tracks to certain types of use.
Bruh that intro was Oscar worthy! 😂 Roland: STOP CHINSING US ON THE SCREENS! WE DONT WANT OR NEED SMALLER SCREENS! I think this machine is better sized up against the Toraiz SP16. Thanks for doing an honest review instead of a video manual like many reviewers making the first 10 minutes of every review (except for MoJaxx) sound virtually the same.
What if this is the start to their standalone products! The competition in the standalone market is getting hotter. Great things to come for lovers of standalone.
This seems more or less aimed at beginners to music and people that don't really have any other gear to make music with. Also...I figured at some point Roland would take Pioneers SP-16 pad and integrated sequencer button design but could they at least have taken the screen too? Those tiny uninformative screens should have been left back in 1991.
That screen is unforgivable. I have the System-1m, and the thing only has a 2-segment LED for all your patches and everything. I got it used, and that one thing makes me just want to resell it, despite it sounding pretty damn good. It is so hard to remember where your patches are without having a damn note book taped to the synth. It is 80s tech in 201x!
The pioneer sp16 is underrated same for the DJs 1000. What makes it a great sampler? Straightforward. That's what I thought this was when I clicked on the video. I thought maybe it was a new one. I've been waiting anxiously for them to update with a new pioneer sampler. The MPC is nice but it's convoluted
@@inthefade Agreed. Unforgivable and pure laziness. Roland must have a stockpile of screens left over from the MC-505 from 1998. "Let's just use this screen on EVERY new product we sell. It sold in 1998 right, well it should sell now too!" 🤦♂️
I truly LOVE my Pioneer SP-16. Works for me. I've had MANY MPC's and other samplers.. But the Toraiz is MY all time favorite. Sure, its sequencers pattern length is the most limiting feature it has but it has a workaround. I love Toraiz.
that price is in the sweet-spot 😁. great size too. i love the step sequencer. i think an under-rated feature might be that built-in mic. that's soooo clutch when we need to sample real quick. a lot can be done with that! i wish the screen was bigger though so there wouldn't be as much menu diving.
The opening skit did it all for me lol I'm almost at my 1 year anniversaries on the Roland MC-707 and TR-8S, so I will keep my eye on this device to see how it may fit and when. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for this. I saw this on Instagram and came here to check out what it could do. I need a dedicated Hip Hop beat machine and this seems right up my alley. Your review was great and I love how you went through all of the relevant features. Blessings!
It sounds great but the biggest CON for me is that teeny-weeny LCD screen that I can cover with my thumb. Sorry but this is a $499 MSRP box at best. Thumbs up for the very entertaining review!
The thing to compare to this is the rytm mk2 which is $1700, please tell me what else is in the market that compares to this to suggest it should be $500?
@@sergiosensation6 Well for starters The MPC ONE with out a doubt and thats just because the ONE is my baby. And this may be just me not knowing any better because Im new to the game, but I just $500 on a brand new sp404sx which in my perspective, Ya know..
They brought back the “MV” name which is cool and the Fantom 8 keyboard is back. Maybe a MV8800 type workstation is coming soon. I do like the simplicity.
I wish Yamaha would get back into making “workstations” . I use to have a RS7000 , and LOVED that thing . Sampler, Motif sound engine, and Sequencer with effects in a easy to use interface . I cranked out tracks fast . All the newer devices seem off to me . I like Native Instrument sounds, but don’t like the Maschine software. Akai is okay, but again I don’t like their interfaces
@@xformant they seem to insist on holding back. I can only imagine what great stuff they could be doing with Cubase, and all the incredible Virtual Instruments they could create and release through Steinberg. Why they hold back, I don't know...
This should have been the new sp 404 with added quality time stretching and a larger screen to chop samples. I swear roland gets it wrong every time now.
Yea plus the 2 midi outs the sp has. I’d get an mc707 if it wasn’t for the time it takes to load a kit with user samples (so I’ve heard). They keep getting close
@stuey da goat No Stuey... we are saying we want to see the evolution of a already great product which many of us love. The Roland-Sp 404 SX hands down is still my favorite piece of equipment I own. Ultimately, with Roland expanding on the 404 I might like it better than the MPCone Which I also own .
@@urbanhookupz roland had a whole line of sp samplers, if i remember corectly they had the sp202 and the sp808 which eventually got replaced with the sp404, sp505 and sp606. They stopped the sp505 and sp606 but kept the sp404, adding SD card slot with later versions. The sp404 was an upgrade of the sp202, a budget sampler. Really it would prob be an sp707 or sp909 to see it compete feature wise with the mpc's.
I remember my first drum 🥁 machine, the Roland Tr-505, then I had the 626 and then the 707. Classic! I’m going to do my homework 📚 before I decide to purchase this machine, or I might just wait until they bring a stronger version!
It seems inferior to the mpc one in every single way except built in mic and dedicated buttons for step sequencing. The biggest design flaw imo is that miniscule screen i dont know what they where thinking theres not even enough space to show waveforms. I suspect chopping samples and diving thru menus will be very tedious
@@alecsbuga yea I know it's just a little more convenient to have seperate dedicated buttons for steps, and a little bit more intuitive to have them laid out in a linear fashion rather than a square matrix. Still, the mpc one is by far the better machine for me
Thanks for the video Ave. Right off the bat! I love Roland instruments sounds, truely epic, from the legendary 808 to 909 to 303 but one HUGE or should I say small issue is the ity bity screen size! What's up with that! I have many Roland instruments including the TR-8S which to be fair the samll screen size on the TR-8S is ok because it's not a DAW or trying to be a DAW. When I first heard of the MC-707 Groovebox which is a mobile device with a functioning DAW, I was so excited until I saw the screen size! I counted and the Verselab MV-1 can only accomodate 32 characters on the screen at once .It's so small and the device is soooo powerful with that tiny screen size you will be menu diving all day which totally kills any creative juice you may have and take forever to get anything done. I mean, compare the tiny size of the Verselab MV-1 to the MPC ONE's screen! Full colour touch screen on a brilliant 7 inch display for the same price and not to mention the fact that you can connect the MPC ONE or LIVE to your computer and use its included MPC Software 2 for additional possibilities. That's why I passed on the MC-707 which is $300 more and purchased the MPC ONE instead. Less menu diving with the way larger screen, included DAW that tried and true and easier workflow. I would not purchase the Verselab MV-1 for that price, it would have to be alot less. Now if it had a larger screen such as the MPC ONE, I may have considered it.
I can’t see how processing/trimming/fading/x fading samples is going to be remotely coherent with that old school ass screen. They’d be wise to make a hyper modernized SP-404 design (WITH A REAL SCREEN) instead.
I rarely use my 404SX anymore because it feels so outdated and I play guitar a lot in my music so I can't really record whole guitar parts into it with the track playing which is why I've been using Ableton instead. I can't tell if this is really made for sampling/recording outside sources besides vocals or not.
@@AustinKorte Think of how dope of a companion this machine would be to turn your SP404 on... I'm sure MIDI capabilities are going to be dope, and you can always resample your guitar from the Verselab to the SP404. This as a companion controller for the 404 sounds too good for me to pass up
As a MC-707 user, I'm finding I'm relying on samples and loops more than synths created on the box and I was thinking of maybe getting a MPC One. This seems to fit me a little better for my work flow. Thanks for the first review not from roland.
Mpc one all the way mate, 7 inch touch screen , multi sampling over midi , massive storage in SD cards etc , I sold a lot of my gear to buy mine , best decision ever
Time stamp built-in this video! I'm going live later today for Q&A. I forgot to mention how many sounds come with it (3000+) and effects too.
How is it using Daw like Ableton? ✌🏾🙏
Can it be used as a effects processor ? Like running my synth through the ins of the Roland out to the MPC like how the 404 is used.
Yeah got mic pre too
Great demo my guy this looks like they might have something.
Man, I haven’t even been interested in the MV. I just love your videos. Good stuff my dude.
Sup fam. As a LONG time MV8000 user, I’m glad to see them making drum machines again. And this should do well for most. However, I’d be lying if I didn’t hope that this leads to an MV9000 FINALLY. 👍🏾✌🏾
We can dream 💯💯💯💯
Naming it a mv1 to me makes me think that this might be an entry price point and subsequent models to follow maybe?
Exactly! The 8000 was the tightest MIDI sequencing I’ve ever gotten, and the overall sound quality I got from my productions on it are still some of my best. This is promising, but a bit of a let down.
FACTS!!!!!
I don't really do hip hop but I love my TR-8S... I do bump it to some electro 808 beats though.
I'm glad to see that MV series back again
Looooooooolllll intro was funny as hell. Ave you da man!
Thanks
yeh intro was ace... well done making a review proper entertaining
Uh ohhh
They’ll probably do update with a firmware update, via a secondary button combo command. Roland is fierce with the updates 👍🏾
Roland, quit playin!!!!! Give us what we’ve been asking for forever...an updated MV!!!! Quit giving us lil toys!!! Give the people what they want....
Exactly

Wow mang your subscribers have tripled in like a year, good for you mang, much deserved success.
Shout out to Roland for sending the product to Ave 🔝
Remember asking Ave to do a Roland MC-707 review. But Roland wasn't interested. Glad that's changed with this product.

Hahaaa
What he said
Certainly the most entertaining review yet! I like it. Takes me back 20 years when I had Electribes EM-1 and ES-1.

I'm just happy Roland reached out to you, That's awesome! Keep on keeping on!

Dope machine for the price. I'll wait for a more expensive big brother with more tracks, more sample capacity, more I/O, better mic, etc.

Thx for this
Ok it can record a sample,that was up and comming since it can record vocals,is there any kind of editing,chopping and so on?
