I think it tries to hard to interpret the player so you spend a lot of time editing notes and that defeats the purpose of a box like that. I mean seriously, I couldnt get a simple 1/16 Q basic rythm to play back correctly. I told Roland but they think Im crazy ITS OBVIOUS  You can hear it on their own website demoes although I think they have removed the worst ones now. In fact listen to some of their other beat box audio examples like those 808 909 groove boxes, the timing is just utter crap to be honest and very similiar to the MV. Roland can sometimes be totally genius and then on the other hand they can make you want to strangle them. Another thing I didnt like about the MV range is that its actually LESS ADVANCED than the S range. Its been seriously dumbed down and the patch loading system is just downright stupid.
I better get of this thread Im becoming obsessed  |
No offense mate, but its a myth that the Roland Mv have timing issues, in fact the MV has higher resolution than any MPC, and people who complain aboput the timing are the ones who dont know how to use the MV in the first place, mainly folks coming from MPCs, watch some video tutorials on youtube and learn about quantizing with the MV....it has NO timing issues
