Connecting to your computer via USB
If your USB-equipped computer is connected to the USB connector on the MV-8800's rear panel, you will be able to transfer
data between the two devices. WAV files or AIFF files saved on your computer can be loaded into the MV-8800 and used
as instruments or audio phrases.
