Sampling

The most basic way to produce music on the MV-8000 is to arrange wave data on one
or more tracks. You can either import an existing WAV file, or record (sample) a new
one.

The explanations in this
manual include illustrations
that depict what should
typically be shown by the
display. Note, however, that
your unit may incorporate a
newer, enhanced version of the
system (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually
see in the display may not
always match what appears in
the manual.
If the MV8-OP1 (sold
separately) is not installed, this
will be fixed at Analog.
If you're recording an analog
input source, adjust the
recording level before
sampling. If you're using
digital input, there's no need to
adjust the level since the input
audio will be recorded at its
original level.
