Using the MV-8000 in Multitimbre Sampler Mode
In Multi Timbre Sampler mode, the MV-8000's instruments function as a multi-timbral sound module, and the performance data from the velocity pads is transmitted as MIDI messages (MIDI OUT A/B, R-BUS).
Playing the MV-8000 from an externally-connected sequencer
Here's how the MV-8000 can function as a multi-timbral sound module receiving multiple channels of MIDI performance data from an externally-connected MIDI sequencer.

Recording your velocity pad performance on an externally-connected sequencer
If you turn Multi Timbre Sampler Mode on, your playing on the MV-8000's velocity pads will be transmitted as MIDI messages. This means you can record your performance on an externally-connected sequencer.
Connect the MV-8000's MIDI OUT connector to your MIDI sequencer as

Performance Data Flow and Limitations in Multi Timbre Sampler Mode
As shown below, the performance data flow differs depending on the Multi Timbre Sampler Mode setting in the MIDI screen.
When Off (normal)
MIDI IN
MV-8000
Velocity Pads
Performance data received at MIDI IN or from the velocity pads is sent to MIDI OUT and/or plays the MV-8000's instruments according to the Output Assign parameter and Output Assign MIDI parameter of the current track.
Sequencer Instruments
MIDI OUT A/B/R-BUS
When On

MV-8000
MIDI Ch. 1
~
MIDI Ch. 16
Velocity Pads
The MV-8000 will operate in the following way.
Sequencer Instruments
• Operate as a multi-timbral sound module
Performance data received at MIDI IN is sent to the instruments. Instrument part 1 receives MIDI channel 1, instrument part 2 receives MIDI channel 2, etc., ... and instrument part 16 receives MIDI channel 16.
• Transmit performance data from the velocity pads as MIDI messages
Your playing on the velocity pads is transmitted as MIDI messages. The performance data from the velocity pads is transmitted from the MIDI output (MIDI OUT A/B connector, R-BUS connector) and channel specified by the Pad Tx Channel parameter in the MIDI screen.
Limitations when Multi Timbre Sampler Mode is On
• Performance data from the velocity pads cannot be sent to the internal sound generator.
• Performance data cannot be recorded on the MV-8000's internal sequencer.
• Multi Timbre Sampler Mode is available only while the following screens are displayed.
SEQUENCE screen INSTRUMENTS screen (performance data from the velocity pads is not transmitted) EFFECTS screen MIXER screen

The correspondence between the incoming MIDI channels and the instrument part played
y each channel is fixed. You cannot change this correspondence.

Truncate

Functionality added in version 1.10
Use the Truncate operation to delete unwanted portions of a sample. By deleting unnecessary portions (e.g., regions of silence at the beginning and end) of the sample data used by a partial or audio phrase, you can reduce the amount of space occupied by the data, and use memory more efficiently.

Move the cursor to Truncate and press .
The TRUNCATE popup will appear.
Set the Type parameter to specify how truncate will be executed.
12.
You can choose one of the following two types.
Type
Replace Duplicate
Explanation
The sample being edited will be modified directly. A new truncated sample will be created, and exchanged for the current sample of the partial.
Executing Truncate with Type set to “Replace” may affect how another partial, audio phrase, or audio event sounds. Refer to Truncating a sample
that's used by more than one partial / audio phrase / audio event (p. 6), and use Type
“Duplicate” if necessary.
13.
Press (Execute).
The Truncate operation will be executed.
Truncating a sample that's used by more than one partial / audio phrase / audio event
As an example, let's assume that a certain sample is used by partials A, B, and C, and that you've set the truncate type to Replace.
partial A partial B
partial C
If you execute Truncate on partial A with the settings shown in the illustration, partial B will not be affected, but some of the sample used by partial C will be deleted. This means that partial C will no longer sound as it did before truncation.
If the Truncate operation you are about to execute would make it impossible for another partial, audio phrase, or audio event to play in the same way as before, the following warning message will appear.
You can't use the Undo function to bring back a truncated sample.
(One or more other partials, audio phrases, and/or audio events will be deleted if you execute Truncate. Are you sure you want to execute?)
F button Explanation
(No)
(Yes)
If you want to truncate partial A but preserve the state of partial C, execute Truncate with the Type set to “Duplicate.”
