If you had the MV8-OP1. I believe if I remember correctly that you could go digital back into the MV without creating the loop. I had a video where you could run a digital cable from the digital out back into the digital in and use the sample screen instead of resample. I’ll have to research that again. It may open up some other possibilities.
Nice video!! Quick question and kinda off topic, in song mode on the MV, is there a way to solo each sound from a single patch with 4 banks of sounds of a pattern after inserting to a pattern track in song mode? I’m trying to track out each sound from a full song and record each stem to a audio track just for the wav file. Then repeat till each sound has been recorded. I’m not trying to dump to a DAW using MIDI, I want to keep the original sound of the MV, I hope that makes sense. Thanks For any info!!!
1 Tekneek Thanks! And thanks for asking. Inserting patterns, AFAIK, in song mode is an easy way to create a song but you don’t have direct control over all created tracks. You can’t solo those tracks separately. What I did is creating midi clips from the patterns and copied them to song mode to have the tracks all separated available in song mode. This is not an easy method and perhaps somebody else would say:”that can be done quicker!’. I noticed that tracks in the pattern track are stuck. What I mean, you can’t control anything. No midi cc, no sysex, no mixer. That’s why I started to copy the tracks from pattern to song. I hope this helps.

I have a Question I'm learning to connect all of my inputs into the Roland VS-2400 but having a hard time hearing both speakers I have connected, and I'm also trying to set up my Focusrite interface to connect to this as well.
Hi, Let me see. All instruments are connected to the Inputs on the VS. When you slide the Master volume and all separate sliders of the instruments the speaker you have a hard time hearing both speakers. The speakers are powered and amplified? I mean, do they have their own amplifier (Monitor speakers) And what about the Focusrite, do you want to have it connected as an audio input or as an audio output? What I mean, I have the NI Komplete 6 and the audio goes from the VS into the Komplete 6 for OBS-studio. But you can also choose to get the sound of, for example, your DAW from your Focusrite into the VS. I need some more info to help you better. Thanks!
Eric Jackson Sorry! Misunderstanding from my side. Yes, it’s good to have them connected to Midi out A. I also have it like that. All midi equipment through midi patchbays connected to MIDI out A. Works like a charm.
Yoo i recomand to avoid the loop by not using the Monitor output you better use this output for your speakers !! , Use the >AUX 1/2< Output and when u sampling than mark the channel thna open the signal fpr the aux 1/2 and mute the chanel where the mv comes in the vs . and if u not mute than u get the same loop but just mute it and thats it
Looks like VS machine is just free-wheeling after getting PLAY command. ie. this is not MIDI CLOCK sync or MIDI TIME CODE sync. I'm going to try this and have a look to see if there is any drift over time. Nice and simple if it works well enough.
@@theMIDImaniac Hey, loosely related but could I ask you a question? Do you know whether I can make a tempo map on mv-8000 by recording myself hitting the tap button (i.e. realtime record to the tempo track)?

@@aanon2550 there’s no need to create a tempo map for your recording. I would sample your recording. Afterwards you set the measures and the bpm is automatically calculated. Then you can set the sample to match the bpm without affecting the pitch and you’re good to go.
@@theMIDImaniac Thanks for that answer. In this case I have a full live blues track (tempo varies freely/not done to a steady click) and I'm laying down some additional midi tracks. It doesn't really matter but I usually try to get a tempo map done so the beats and bars actually correspond to the song. Pretty specific use case, I know. :-)
@@aanon2550 that’s indeed specific. I would record it freely also and then match the two tracks. Very nice to do some experiments with that. Playing and recording along with non synced tracks. Would give a very natural flow.
Nice vid bro Cool machines but maybe you could have an audio interface and stream your lines right into the daw I know those machines are cool (I use MV extensively) but being locked inside VS you might loose the possibility to move foreward with your tracks We all love to be stuck in endless looping But there is a danger of it you know ;) Anyway I thought about this obsolete VS again thanks to you 🤗
ADAKADAK Bass bot Thanks for your comment. I’ve this strange handicap that I don’t want to make music with my computer. It’s a kind of fear and a kind of nostalgia. I tried Maschine/Logic/Acid/Reason and never had the fun like I have now (and like old times) I made sequences in my D-20 and later in my MC-50. The Amiga-500 was also cool but then I lost the connection. Perhaps in the near future I will try a DAW. Never say no 😉😁✌🏽
@@adakadakbassbot8648 the combo Mv Vs is dope, but as you stated I dont switch on my Vs only To record final vocals after extensive work on the Mv in fact I have a Roland mmp2 preamp plugged straight to the Mv to record vocals on the Mv to do demos and sometimes make song straight to the Mv without caring of the Vs. But the Vs is pretty dope deeper eq dynamics on each tracks fx because unless you resample toi can be limited with the Mv since it has only 1 mfx, 1 reverb and 1 delay and eq only for parts. And the Vs plugins are dangerous and also the bit rate of the recording is improved in the Vs. Also the flying faders and R-Bus integration if you have the MvOp1 the 2 will go hand to hand.
If I master on the vs2480 would it be possible to bring the file back into the mv and burn the cd. No cd drive on the vs2480. Got a really good deal on it so I couldn't resist.
djspinista congrats on your buy!!! Yes, what I do is recording it with the VS, then do mastering into the VS and then sending it back into the MV for creating a WAV file of it. I have the also the HD and not the CD/DVD. Sounds complicated but it is serious fun like this.
@@theMIDImaniac awesome thanks for the reply . So I must be able to bypass the mastering section on the mv. I only remember burning from the mastering menu been a bit though. Also I dont need to use a computer to transfer from the vs to mv ?
djspinista you can do two things. - mastering in the VS - mastering in the MV The most important thing is that you ‘sample’ the recording of the VS into the MV. Then you go to mastering to make a WAV file or you can create directly a WAV file from the sample. Perhaps I will spend time on this subject to show it to other users.
Aweso machine! In some ways better than the VS-2480. I’ve never tried it with the 2400 but in my 2480 I’ve installed a CF-reader. Now I can use VSWE (for windows) to convert my tracks into WAV-files. So, an SSD is a good idea but perhaps a CF- reader will work to although you can always save your tracks with the CD- burner, which my machine doesn’t have. Perhaps also another fan to reduce noise in your studio. I’ve installed two low-noise fans (MV and VS) and it is now almost silent in my room. Noctua NF
@@theMIDImaniac Yeah, i head about the fan noise complains and the noctua fans, problem is that impor taxes are horrible in my third world country Btw, do you still have the 2400? because i made this guide that you might find intersting. www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1678965&Main=148707#Post1678965
@@theMIDImaniac i just realized you are the same person who made that video haha, still, it would be nice to see a video of both units interacting eachother through r-bus in depth, i feel its something that you dont see very often since not a lot of people have a VS and a MV machine at the same time.
ElSaltaCohetes hahaha! Ok, got it. You know, I notice that more and more people are getting this combo. Based on the feedback I receive. I mean, the MV and the VS2400 are a beauty combo.

Hi! No, don't have a video about that. But you want to use R-Bus to send sounds from the MV into the 2480? That is easy to do. Just connect the both machines through R-Bus. Then in the mixer of the MV you have to change the output for each part to M1, M2, M3, etc (mono) or M1/2, M3/4, etc (stereo) In your VS you have to set the incoming R-Bus to the input channels of your choice. When typing this down, I notice that a video can be much easier. I hope I can find time this weekend. Now I'm struggling with a promised D-20 video...
@@djspinista Yes, just in the partial screen where you can set the analog outs also. In the VS the settings have to be correct also. In Project settings you have to set the clock on RBUS1 (or RBUS2, depends where you have it connected) Also the Project has to be in the right format. 44.1Khz or 48Khz. I already notice that it is a good subject for a video because there are too many settings to be done.
@@djspinista And a real down part is that the reverb and chorus of the MV are not sent through RBUS. So the signal is dry...unless you use also the analog out for having the effects send out. Of course you can use now the effects of the VS, but still...I was a bit disappointed.
Hi! Thanks for asking (and for subbing ;) Ok, you want add a computer. In what way would you like to add a computer? - Audio - MIDI - USB What would you like to achieve? Because that influences my answer. Thanks for getting back to me.
Ok so i already have 5 port midi interface running my mv8000 plus my 2 workstations. Its works fine that way but can i run 2 work stations on midi out A1 A2 while connectted to the computer? I want to be able to add more tone genetators later to the set up.without a midi patch bay. Can it be done? I would run a test but how i have everthing set up is gonna be a lot of moving furniture. I want to send midi out of my workstation to mv but mv has only one midi in. I have scarlette midi in and out,motu mifi express 5 in and out,also i have a komplete control with midi in and out. How di i set this up? I need the mv to slave when im making beats so i ca n use my vsts with the hardware set up all at once
Hi! Thanks for your question. Slaving your PC is possible through MIDI. If you use a DAW on your PC then you have to make the DAW slave to your 2400CD. I noticed in my setup some latency, but with adjusting the SMTP-settings I was able to have them synced correctly. MIDI clock works also but again...it all depends on the latency. Back to your question: Yes, it's possible through MIDI. Good luck!
Yes I've done that.. Kinda figured it's the only way.. What audio card would you recommend(for my PC), to record 8 or more channels from my 2400CD into my PC at once? And isn't there a way to expand output channels from the 2400CD? I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.. Some sort of adapter, or card I needed to buy or something.. That way if I wanted to record out more than 8 channels at once, or vice versa, that adapter is supposed to make it possible.. Am I right? Thanks again..
xisotopex Great question! 1. My computer is for my work. I don’t want to sit again behind my computer if it is for relaxing with making music. 2. This is dedicated hardware. It does what it does and it doesn’t fail. 3. These machines are limited and force you to think about what you want to achieve. 4. I love those huge machines with big knobs and large sliders. No Volca/Boutique/OP1/Pocket sizes. 5, Number one Roland fan. 6. These machines offer more then you would think. I love the journey to find that out. 7. We live in an era with access to too much. A swipe-don’t like mentality. These units are slow these days so you’re forced to do things right. 8. I’m just a dinosaur 🦖Grown up with that old working method. Afraid for new machines 😉
@@theMIDImaniac the squarp pyramid is a modern sequencer that seems capable, but have not seen a single video using that sequencer that had music worth listening to. on the other hand, there are some absolutley killer tracks made using the mv8800 and the rs7000
xisotopex I totally understand what you mean. It’s that I’m from the old school and I agree that I see today too many instant editing machines but no standalone hardware with midi sequencing possibilities. I was thinking to buy Squarp but I just love those huge old machines. The MV is a very complete production station with lots of possibilities. You have to invest time to get it known. It’s more than just a 16-pad sample unit. Good luck with searching for the right one. ✌🏽👌🏽💪🏽
Bought this machine when i wanted to record my own music when i was in university. I ended up selling it because couldn't figure out how to use it :( Found it too complicated

Hey Rodger do you have a video that explains how to use rbus to track out from the mv8800 into the 2480 ?

Just connect the both machines through R-Bus.
Then in the mixer of the MV you have to change the output for each part to M1, M2, M3, etc (mono) or M1/2, M3/4, etc (stereo)
In your VS you have to set the incoming R-Bus to the input channels of your choice.

@@djspinista And a real down part is that the reverb and chorus of the MV are not sent through RBUS.
So the signal is dry...unless you use also the analog out for having the effects send out.
Of course you can use now the effects of the VS, but still...I was a bit disappointed.
I would like to know how to set it all up plus add a computer.
Hi! Thanks for asking (and for subbing ;)
Ok, you want add a computer.
In what way would you like to add a computer?
- Audio
- MIDI
- USB
What would you like to achieve? Because that influences my answer.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Ok so i already have 5 port midi interface running my mv8000 plus my 2 workstations. Its works fine that way but can i run 2 work stations on midi out A1 A2 while connectted to the computer? I want to be able to add more tone genetators later to the set up.without a midi patch bay. Can it be done? I would run a test but how i have everthing set up is gonna be a lot of moving furniture. I want to send midi out of my workstation to mv but mv has only one midi in. I have scarlette midi in and out,motu mifi express 5 in and out,also i have a komplete control with midi in and out.
How di i set this up? I need the mv to slave when im making beats so i ca n use my vsts with the hardware set up all at once
Could I slave my PC to my 2400CD?
Thanks in advance..
Hi!
Thanks for your question.
Slaving your PC is possible through MIDI.
If you use a DAW on your PC then you have to make the DAW slave to your 2400CD.
I noticed in my setup some latency, but with adjusting the SMTP-settings I was able to have them synced correctly.
MIDI clock works also but again...it all depends on the latency.
Back to your question: Yes, it's possible through MIDI.
Good luck!
Yes I've done that.. Kinda figured it's the only way..
What audio card would you recommend(for my PC), to record 8 or more channels from my 2400CD into my PC at once?
And isn't there a way to expand output channels from the 2400CD?
I'm sure I've seen that somewhere..
Some sort of adapter, or card I needed to buy or something..
That way if I wanted to record out more than 8 channels at once, or vice versa, that adapter is supposed to make it possible..
Am I right?
Thanks again..
with all this modern sequencers around and daw's, what made you decide to you use this obsolete 15 year old gear
xisotopex Great question!
1. My computer is for my work. I don’t want to sit again behind my computer if it is for relaxing with making music.
2. This is dedicated hardware. It does what it does and it doesn’t fail.
3. These machines are limited and force you to think about what you want to achieve.
4. I love those huge machines with big knobs and large sliders. No Volca/Boutique/OP1/Pocket sizes.
5, Number one Roland fan.
6. These machines offer more then you would think. I love the journey to find that out.
7. We live in an era with access to too much. A swipe-don’t like mentality. These units are slow these days so you’re forced to do things right.
8. I’m just a dinosaur 🦖Grown up with that old working method. Afraid for new machines 😉
@@theMIDImaniac I was being facetious. I have been searching for a sequencer to sequence all my synths, trying to get away from the daw.
@@theMIDImaniac There does not seem to be very many modern sequencers around these days.
@@theMIDImaniac the squarp pyramid is a modern sequencer that seems capable, but have not seen a single video using that sequencer that had music worth listening to. on the other hand, there are some absolutley killer tracks made using the mv8800 and the rs7000
xisotopex I totally understand what you mean.
It’s that I’m from the old school and I agree that I see today too many instant editing machines but no standalone hardware with midi sequencing possibilities.
I was thinking to buy Squarp but I just love those huge old machines.
The MV is a very complete production station with lots of possibilities. You have to invest time to get it known.
It’s more than just a 16-pad sample unit.
Good luck with searching for the right one.
✌🏽👌🏽💪🏽
Bought this machine when i wanted to record my own music when i was in university. I ended up selling it because couldn't figure out how to use it :( Found it too complicated
Yeah...I can imagine that....It's not a ready-to-play-unit. Pretty complicated and official.
That's why they can be bought so cheap nowadays.
@@theMIDImaniac Yes and the guy who sold it to me back then made it sound easy to use...
работает ли Roland VS-2400CD с DAW Cubase 7.5 - 12 как миди контроллер ? есть ли смысл этого микшера в 2023 году ....мне очень удобно что есть VGA для внешнего монитора
