April 18th, 2008 - The Roland MV-8000 Series Drum machines are absolute monsters! They are redefining the word Groove Box into a one-in-all-workstation. See the Roland web site for more info.
For more power, the MV-8000 Series needs a way of composing kits - and Chicken Systems has teamed up with Roland to create one. The MV Kit Creator™ (FREE) and the MV KitCreator Pro™, available in Mac and Windows applications, allow users to create their own .mv0 files to load directly into their MV-8000 Series Groove Box/Sampler.

The MV Kit Creator™ FREE (shown above) will allow composing your own kits by dragging samples on thepads themselves. The new CASE™ technology (Chicken Advanced Streaming Engine) provides a powerful sound engine that plays sounds without loading them, from WAVE, AIFF, or from within .mv0 files. MV Kit Creator can import any sample - 16-,24,32-bit, or any sampling rate. From the composition stage, you can write your own .mvo files to be able to play inside the MV-8000 or MV-8800 sampler.
MV KitCreator Pro™ ($79.95) will include these additonal powerful features:
- Edit current .mvo files fully
- Edit the full range of Partial and Patch parameters available to the MV-8000 Series
- Create custom velocity splits or layers easily and automatically
- Includes powerful integrated Sound Database
- Playable via onscreen Pads or via MIDI
- Free version available; can create kits only
- Macintosh and Windows compatible
Both versions of MV Kit Creator™ will be made available in April 2008. For more information, and to sign up for the mailing list, and to apply for the Beta Tester List, see:
