Finger on the Trigger
One Shot
—Turn this parameter on so that the sample plays all the way
through when you strike its pad. This makes the pad act like a trigger:
Strike it quickly and the sample plays without your having to hold down
the pad.
If you turn on One Shot, and the sample still doesn’t play all the way
through, go down to the Amplifier R (for “Release”) parameter at the
bottom of the window and turn it all the way up.
Me. No, Me.
Excl Group
—When you assign two or more partials to the same
exclusive group, they cut off each other’s notes. In drum-kit patches,
the open hi-hat and closed hi-hat partials are typically set to the same
exclusive group. This way, the closed hi-hat partial stops the open hi-hat
sound the same way that closing a real hi-hat stops its open sound.

Saving Your Work
Since the MV-8800 clears its RAM at power-down, you’ve got to save your
work to avoid losing it when you turn off the MV-8800.

Saving an Audio Phrase
To save your audio phrases, simply save the project they’re in. You can do this
at shutdown, or—to play it really safe—right now:
Hold down SHIFT and press PROJECT.
When the MV-8800 asks if you’re sure
you want to save the project, click Yes.
Saving and Naming a Patch
Now that you’ve made your patch, there’s a little housekeeping to do. We
recommend you rename your patch—so you can find it later, and so you
know it’s no longer an Init Patch. It’s also a good idea to save the patch into
your project’s patch library.
Naming Your Patch
Press INSTRUMENTS and make sure the patch’s part is selected.
Click Patch Edit to display the PATCH EDIT window.
Press MENU and select Patch Name.
Click Select to display the EDIT PATCH NAME screen.
Name your patch.
Press
3
repeatedly until the SELECT CATEGORY window opens, and
then assign the patch to a category to make it even easier to find.
Click Select to confirm your choice, and then OK to exit the naming
window.
