  • Fabulous for making music…
The Roland Versalab is the most useful, and one of the easiest to use, music production equipment I have has used. I have had many “DAW in a box” type machines and this is the best for me because it has so many available sounds and the user can quickly make all kinds of music, not just beats. I sold my MPC Live to purchase this. The MPC was great, but the user has to use lots of steps to, for example, to get a good piano sound that could be used across octaves. I now spend more time making music versus manipulating samples with the Versalab (but you can use samples with it too!). I highly recommend the Versalab for anyone who wants to make a variety of types of music. ... show more

  • Legitimate studio in one box
I'd watched a lot of videos before picking this up, but they didn't delve into just how deep you can get with this unit. You can make BANGERS, from beat to complete. Vocals sound good with a halfway decent mic, workflow is simple. Took me a couple days to get the hang of it. Definitely a great groovebox for someone that wants to make full tracks in one machine. No going to the studio or hooking up tons of gear and cables. No computers and DAWS. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Quirky, Complex, and Deceptively Powerful
Many will complain about the tiny screen and strange interface, but if you’re patient and enjoy learning new things, it’s a very rewarding instrument. Think of it as a greatest hits of roland sounds strapped to an elektron-level sequencer with a song mode and some bonus vocal/looping/sampling capabilities. The Zen Core engine used in modern Roland devices is as good as any digital synth out there today. Their analog emulations are convincing, the PCM style ROMpler samples are perfectly cheesy, and it’s overall warm and punchy. There are a lot of free sound packs available through Roland Cloud and you can even export your own custom patches via Roland’s Zenology Pro VST plugin. The song mode and advanced sequencing features give most grooveboxes a run for their money. Actually, outside of the Akai MPC One, it doesn’t really have a rival. The Akai has a larger screen and has less limitations when it comes to memory and flexibility, but it’s synths don’t come close to what Roland is offering. It’s very “Elektron” in it’s approach to interface and sequencing. The shift and edit functions are crucial to getting the most out of it. That said, it won’t take you that long to start laying down sequences from the get-go. The MV-1 might not work as a satisfying replacement for a computer DAW setup, but it does make a very compelling option as a sketchpad and songwriting tool. ... show more

  • Too complicated for someone new - Returned due to complexity, not quality
TL;DR - It's not as simple as it looks and if you watch the Roland Video Manual for the MV-1, they skip over the basic operations on how to actually use the device and jump right into look at what this MV-1 can do and the size of the pre-loaded sound library with the Zencore engine. The reviewers on YouTube make this look like it's somewhat easy and that there's a learning curve and some familiarization needed, but what they fail to explain is they've had many years working with devices like this. If they have a learning curve with the MV-1 and have prior experience with similar devices, someone new might struggle a lot more. I was hoping my teenage daughter would be able to use this device, but the learning curve is just too steep and the time required to get muscle memory is just too much without prior knowledge of how these work. The sound quality is top notch and the number of samples are great. Pads are really responsive. Build quality is really good, for being plastic. Enough in/our ports Vocal Mic input is really good too. The complicated part is there's no printed manual and the downloadable PDF manual provides all the information you need, but you're always looking at a computer screen manual trying to learn how to use it. The manual digs deep into each control and the manual doesn't flow first into the workflow and then dig deeper into more of the sub controls. So you're bouncing all around the manual trying to work with the workflow in the MV-1. There should be a basic how to guide at the very beginning or a quick start here and work throughout the workflow step by step for beginners. Perhaps this device simply isn't for new users? It should be. Because of this lack of manual in hand and the two line menu, someone with no knowledge how these devices work will ultimately struggle for hours a day trying to become familiar with the hidden controls that require keypresses that are not on the device. Shift + or Edit + and there are many others. Undo and Redo is now available while in SEQ mode, but you have to remember which keypresses they are or refer to the updated manual. Zenbeats app for smarphone, tablet or computer helps and is probably the way to go, but this is supposed to be stand-alone and should be intuitive. There's no reason Roland couldn't have put a much larger screen because there's plenty of room for one. ... show more

  • ROLAND DUMPSTER FIRE
BUYER BEWARE. Good luck trying to get any sort of support or customer service from Roland. God awful company, doesn't care about their customers. You literally cannot get anyone on the phone, the emails aren't monitored so you never get a response. You'll have to drive to their rundown ghost town headquarters like I did. I should've gotten paid for it since I did their job for them. Seriously F Roland. I mean if you like hassle and stress and inconvenience then please, go ahead and buy this trash. ... show more
