My mv 8000 wont sample, i can see the wav it just doesnt play or show up in numbers

I think the most common cause of this with a pc is that windows media player scrambled the data on the hd.. you need to get a harddrive ide ata adapter , open the mv and connect the hard drive directluy to a computer then copy the files.. then reformat the harddrive in the mv then put the files back on .... i had the same problem with a mac but i dont know the cause since i dont have windowns media player.. im interested to know how this turned out.. i thinking of sending my drive to a drive saver company if it doens work out.. i neeeeeeddd my fillleessss.. aaahhhh

go through the menu looking for a "clock" option and set the clock to "internal"

Did you try a new hard drive? It may be faulty. Can you pull the drive and see if the unit will start?

Hey..I have the exact same problem, did you get it resolved? Contact me at... [email protected]

no solution from me but if you want to sell your MV 30 I would love to buy as I have one with a working screen but a non-working floppy drive

U need to reset your parameters.....Goto the  System button and then  press F5.  This will lead you to where you need to press initialize to reset the parameters.  Don't worry it wont delete any of your sounds etc.  I had the same problems.....u will probably have to do it every-time you turn it back on and off.  I think the cause of this is due to it having a previous expansion on it......

You can't. Best way is to set your FX on your track. Hit sampling button, then go to the Resampe tab, hit start, run your track, save sample, load it back up. Not exactly how I woulda set things up, So I make everything dry on the mv and dump into my DAW for FX...Not sure what Roland was thinking with this little gem, but hit up MVNation.com...best site for info on the MV. After I found this site, I threw the manual out. Hope it helps.

Hello,

Yes, from what I understand, it came with a floppy, CD-Rom, and a 40gb hard drive.

I TRIED TO FIND THIS BOARD UNSUCCESSFULLY FROM REGULAR AND ONLINE MUSIC STORES. THROUGH ROLAND SALES REPS, I LEARNED THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND SCHEDULED TO BE DISCONTINUED. THIS WAS ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO IN 2007. I HAD LUCK TRYING REPAIR SHOPS THAT SERVICED ROLAND EQUIPMENT AND OWNERS WHO HAD THE CARD INSTALLED ALREADY. TRY CRAIGS LIST, AND MV NATION

GEO (GEO Production and Audio Svs.)

trade it in for an mpc.
