First off, for those of you who don't know, the Roland MV line of production workstations is the truth. With the latest in this series, the MV-8800 (unveiled at the NAMM show in January), Roland has packed even more muscle into an already diesel workstation. Imagine if your MPC2500 and DAW went "half on a baby"-you'd have something like the new MV-8800

The philosophy behind the MV line is to give you as many sampling, editing, mixing and mastering capabilities as possible. This makes for a thorough, but fairly complex piece. The MV-8800's comprehensive functionality gives you the option of doing nearly everything within one self-contained unit, but as many of us know, sometimes less is more.
