Other Sampling Options

The  checkboxes  at  the  bottom  of  the  screen  turn  some  sampling  options 
on or off:

Auto  Divide

—When  you  turn  Auto  Divide  on,  the  MV-8800  creates  a 

new sample each time there’s silence that lasts as long as the Gap Time 
setting. (The Gap Time parameter becomes active when you switch on 
Auto  Divide.) This  feature  can  be  handy  when  you’re  sampling  a  few 
things in a row, and don’t want to stop in-between.

Auto  Divide  provides  a  “quick-and-dirty”  way  to  create  multiple 
samples of related sounds. A better approach, though, is to make one 
big sample of all of the sounds and then use the MV-8800’s Auto Chop 
feature to slice them up. After Auto Chop, each sample starts precisely 
at the beginning of its sound—it’s ready to by played right away, with 
no  further  editing.  To  learn  more  about Auto  Chop,  see  the  MV-8800 

Auto Chop

 Workshop booklet.

Auto Emphasis

—If you’ve got a sound you’d like to brighten up during 

sampling, turn on Auto Emphasis, which increases the treble content 
in the sound.

Auto Normalize

—Auto Normalize boosts the volume of your sample to 

its loudest, and therefore best, level. It’s generally a good idea to turn 
Auto Normalize on.

Resampling

The MV-8800 allows you to sample the MV-8800 itself—or more specifically, 
its  main  stereo  outputs—using  a  process  called  “resampling.”  You  might 
resample the MV-8800 to:

capture  an  entire  mix  as  a  stereo  sample

—that  you  can  burn  onto  an 

audio CD.

capture a pattern

—as a new beat loop.

create  insanely  complex  sounds

—by  sampling  a  sound  over  and  over, 

tweaking it or adding more effects or other sounds each time.

To get to the RESAMPLING window, click the Re-Sampling tab at the top of 
the SAMPLING window.


To resample the MV-8800’s output in stereo, set Sample Type to Stereo, 
as shown here. To squash it down to mono, set Sample type to Mono. 

The  parameters  for  resampling  are  the  same  as  for  sampling,  though  for 
resampling, you’ll want to set Start Trigger to:

Pad

—to  begin  sampling  when  you  strike  a  pad.  Use  the  Pad  setting 

when you’re resampling an MV-8800 audio phrase. When you hit a pad 
that plays the audio phrase, resampling automatically begins, too.

Play

—to  begin  sampling  when  you  hit  the  sequencer  PLAY  button. 

When you’re capturing a whole mix or a pattern as a new sample, use 
this  setting.  Hit  PLAY  to  play  the  mix,  and  resampling  automatically 
begins.

To  resample  an  MV-8800  patch,  sequence  the  note(s)  you  want  to 
resample and use the Play Start Trigger setting.

The Sampling Session

Once  you’ve  set  all  the  parameters  in  the  SAMPLING—or  RESAMPLING—
window as desired, you’re ready to sample. Here’s how.
