In reply, my MV is connected to a 4 port USB 3.0 hub with switches on each port, and the USB hub is connected to my MPC Live and i’ve been sharing my MPC Live Expansion and Splice sample libraries with my MV. I just like handing file transfers without a computer. However, the ratio of use of my MPC live vs MV-8800 is 95% to 5%. This is not unexpected since MPC live is new for me and I am still learning how to use use. I’ll keep posting to this thread over the coming months as I evaluate the integration of these two DAWless workstations, and which one gets more use.

PS: here is an updated photo of my MPC and MV where I am using the external monitor, which has its advantages for linear sequencing and editing.

Does anyone know if there is a MV to MPC / patch to program utility? This would bypass the need to access the MV from an MPC, as in JohnDetroit's case, because I can see no advantage to using the MV if you're using the MPC Live, other than if you wanted to degrade the sound quality of your MPC project. The MPC sequencer is better and the time stretch on the MPC is cleaner. Don't see the advantage. It might be right in front of me, but I don't see it.

Also for anyone interested, I checked and the MV doesn't show up in the Plug Ins in Beats as it does on JohnDetroit's Live. Thought I'd give it a shot, but no dice. Like I said the patch converter could be handy, but it's not like the MV's patches and patch edit options are anything to write home about.

I really wish I had a better use for the MV. I'm a legacy MPC/Beats user and my MV is dormant 99% of the time when working DAW-less unfortunately.

Ah gotcha!

first of in my previous comment I like to say every time I mentioned that bloody 'witch' I meant 'which', so just to be clare I have no association with wiccas (and if I do it's completely secret).

@nef The selecting of multiple pads might be possible to add to the solo/mute page like an extra function page. There we already have the window and a selection system that is kind of similar (per pad based), how it looks in code is an other thing and not for me to say. Other wise it could (also) be a mode you enter wile in quick edit via some shortcut, select/mark all your pads - when you done selecting you have to exit this mode before activating samples with the pads again. To this would be great to get even one more function, one more page to the MUTE/SOLO/MULTIPAD-window and that would be saved multipads, activated with the press of one pad. So you make your multi selection of your favorite padilators and save it to a pad, you could then change different selections on different pads. I guess this feature would fasten up the workflow tremendously on the MV. Imagen the live possibilities of utilizing the filters or LFO in this way, might be dangerous though this might just crack the planet in half!

((goddamit I should of worked for roland 15years ago instead of making this guys life more complicated))

About the donation thingy, yeah I got that and I remembered it from an earlier comment of yours but wanted to mention this since if you take your own time and all (all respect for this) but if you come out with a stabile update we could donate then . That way no pressure or more responsibility, just sayin'. With the donation fonds we could start making a new machine on this forum from scratch, without ANY reverse engineering anything from anywhere .

Thanks for the update. Keep us informed.
FYI...you can mix down individual tracks by solo-ing the track or tracks you want mixed down.
