The Project Library Collects Patches
There are a number of reasons you might want to load a patch
into the current project’s library. Here are the three most
common reasons:
• You might be collecting patches you plan to use in a
project, but you’re not ready to assign them to parts yet.
• You’re gathering patches you might want to use, maybe
even instead of patches you’re already working with.
• You might be planning to use a patch in other project
songs—patches you stash in the project library can be
used in any of the project’s songs.
Loading the Current Project’s Patches
If you’re new to the MV-8000, try this procedure with the Version 3 demo
project loaded, as we’ve done here.
To load a patch from the current project’s patch
library:
1. Press INSTRUMENTS to display the current
song’s 16 parts, and use the MV-8000’s 6 or 5 CURSOR
buttons to select the part you want to have play the patch.
(We’ve selected Part 6 here for no particular reason.)
2. Click Library to see what’s in the project’s patch library.
You can also open the library from the INSTRUMENTS window by turning
the scroll wheel on your mouse or the VALUE dial on the MV-8000.
3. Select a patch you’d like to load. (We’ve selected the fourth
patch in the picture above.)
If you want to try out a patch before loading it, click Preview and play it on
the pads or a connected MIDI keyboard.
4. Click Use This to load the patch into the part you chose in
Step 1.
The MV-8000 returns you to the INSTRUMENTS window,
with the patch loaded into the selected part. You can now
play the patch on the MV-8000’s pads, or on a connected
MIDI keyboard.
