Comments about Roland MV-8800 Sampling/Rec Prod Studio (Refurb):
I use the MV for all my musical needs.I owned and still have my MPC but The MV far out paces it in what you can accomplish..Some people say that it has a learning curve but really all you have to do is open the manual and watch some online videos for reinforcement. Its true The pads are not like the MPC as mine seem to be kind of stiff but I have not had any problems with either one and I have both the 8000 and the 8800...This is a great machine and I would highly recomend it to a friend or stranger!!!

Comments about Roland MV-8800 Sampling/Rec Prod Studio (Refurb):
the mv works almost just like a mpc but they are surely not mpc's .i've had my mv for 2 years or more and i have 3 broken buttons . my exit button , my shift button , and just recently my bpm button (tap bpm) . before i brought it i read the reviews and 1 guy did mention that his exit button broke , he recommended using the vga , well i have the vga and i'm not a heavy handed guy .to me this is a clear design issue and i would not recommend this machine to anyone! matter of fact i paid right around 3,000 for mine and i'm almost ready to give it away . i plan to have the buttons repaired and buy the mpc 5000 and sell the mv . honest opinion from me is : STICK TO THE MPC'S !!!

the new automated mixer functions are a life saver for any one who doesn't have an external mixer or just want to manipulate your tracks on the fly.Mastering tools are provided, and the classic Roland SRV reverbs are a just some more icing on the cake. Realtime BPM matching is a feature Dj's will reaaly appreciate.The MV-8800 is Truly the Roy Jones of Production studios in a Box, So get one or get knocked out!!!
