Hi, any chance of a full step -by-step description of your installation process for the compactflash in place of CD? I will reciprocate somehow. I can do anything if all the steps are there, and nothing without them. Like for instance, I have no idea at all what to buy or where to buy it. midimania...

my cdrom is buggy af.... just place the demo in your project folder on the mv with usb and run it from the hd. or perhaps you can do the same process (copy to projects folder) from cdrom

I think I understand now why Deoxit D5 ruins the transport switches. D5 contains a solvent which can wash away carbon layers. To restore the switches you want a remote control repair kit like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/REMOTE-CONTROL-REPAIR-KIT-RESTORE-CONDUCTIVE-RUBBER-KEYPAD-FIX-TV-ALARM-...

copy as midi clip in pattern mode track by track.. paste the track pattern(s) in sequence mode assign the right instruments to tracks. I dont use the vga right now so for me this midi copy, paste function is in the pattern edit and seq edit menus respectively. in the the vga mode they probably float...

Im not an audio head like you guys...im just here for your resources :-) I did some research before buying my MV and bought it for 400 euros including shipping. still a better price than a new limited plastic akai 500. on shipping the plastic side panels got cracked. not even that badly..just on the...

otbt wrote:by switching tracks up & down with the cursor buttons each track is like a sample bank in MPC style.Hope that make sense...

to add to this...you can hold down shift and padbank. and you get the track mute window to mute and unmute tracks..

btw the patterns do loop in a patch..by just pressing a pad...have to set the loopmode to forward instead of oneshot.

what I did notice was that the pattern loses volume with the 127release time unless you hold the pad down which isnt ideal...but maybe thats fixable

and what about..assigning resampled patterns to patches push the release time to 127 and when you click the pad you have the entire pattern playing... you can hit multiple patterns at the same time to mix patterns..and they mute when you stop pressing them. or you have patterns with release time low...

a tip i saw from youtube user e two one (or sumthing) was also quite helpful In that respect.. just use the new song from the setup within the project. and switching patches in and out of the library. only drawback is that your projects become bulky but you load them only once anyway.

just something for people not having an ssd in there or future plans to do so... the thing thats bugging me the most in terms of speed is " creating new project" when you do so its starts checking drive, checking this, creating folder blabla. you can speed this process up considerably by j...

Hi everyone...i am a new user here.As per my knowledge the circuitboard with the transport buttons is kinda trapped beneath the fan compartment and the motherboard. no way you can do anything from this state of the machine.The way I see it you have to do close to a complete disasembly of the mv to ...

ive contacted a few servicecenters from the Roland website and made a request from the roland parts page.... now lets wait to see the prices :-) If the prices are more than I expect is there a less expensive and prolly less elegant sollution to get these buttons working again? can I use just your st...

yeah its weird..also that every switch reacted the same...my method was a short spray work it in by clicking a bit and add another short spray a bit later from the other side (it was on the instruction on the can)..maybe to much? although I feel that shouldnt be a problem...or atleast wouldnt affect...

it failed...bad thing is I decided to use the D5 on the other 3 transport buttons aswell. i sprayed a short burst in the affected switch... worked the mechanism a bit to get it in..and all seemed well. So I decided to give the play/back/rec buttons a maintenance spray.. After a while I noticed the s...

I took it apart...In the end it was Okay..not to difficult with the help of your pictures.. Now I can reach the button...the button/switch is a 3piece part.....the visible from outside part goes of easy (the button)..but then youre left with a piece thats in the switch. It feels quite dangerous to t...
