Hands-on Groovebox and Vocal Workstation
Intuitive touch-based workflow
At Sweetwater, part of the reason we've witnessed such a hardware boom over the past decade is that many producers prefer a hands-on approach to music making. The Roland MV-1 Versalab succeeds in bringing a familiar tactile workflow to your beat production. Whether you're tethered to a USB device or enjoying the MV-1's battery-powered performance on the go, touch-based groove production is a reality with the Roland Versalab.
4x4 RGB touchpads
Dynamic and responsive, the MV-1's backlit 4x4 pad matrix makes it fast and fun to bang out drum tracks, bass lines, melodies, and more.
TR-REC step sequencer
The MV-1 Versalab also features a powerful 16-step sequencer built around Roland's iconic hardware sequencing units. Here you can sequence drum and bass parts, turn notes on or off with the touch of a pad, and follow sequences in real-time as you work.
Studio-grade mic preamp with onboard vocal processing
The Roland MV-1 Versalab is also a veritable vocal studio to go. Its XLR input features a high-quality mic preamp with onboard +48V phantom power to help you get the best sound from your handhelds and studio microphones. Inside, you'll find on-demand vocal effects — vocal doubling, an auto-pitch, and a harmony generator — to turn your rough ideas into mix-ready vocal stems, all without turning to the computer or plugging in additional effects.
16 easy-access vocal takes
Comping the perfect vocal take no longer means firing up the DAW. The MV-1 Verselab lets you record up to 16 easy-access takes, which you can copy and paste anywhere in your song to create gold-star arrangements.
Convenient built-in mic
No mic in sight? Use the MV-1's onboard mic to keep track of your vocal ideas anywhere life takes you.
Powerful ZEN-Core sound engine
The MV-1 Versalab features Roland's most sophisticated sound engine to date: the ZEN-Core Synthesis System. ZEN-Core is the key to the MV-1's top-notch audio quality and sample playback.
3,000 onboard sounds
Arguably, no manufacturer has been more influential in the development of groove-based music tools than Roland. From its groundbreaking TR-808 drum machine to its latter-day SP404 sampler, the Roland name is inextricable from the sounds of dance and hip-hop. Roland draws on its rich sonic heritage to infuse the MV-1 Versalab with a curated collection of more than 3,000 iconic sounds from its past and present. We're talking beefy analog-based kick drums, crunchy claps and snares, 303-inspired bass lines, and more groove-enhancing samples and effects than you can shake a stick at.
Grow your tones with Sound Packs
If you're looking for genre-specific inspiration, then look no further than Roland's expandable Sound Packs. These samples are drawn from the ZEN-Core synth lineup to give you instant access to that special sound in your head.
MIDI control, stereo I/O
Want to integrate the Roland MV-1 Verselab into your analog studio with your old-school groove tools? Standard 5-pin MIDI in/out makes those hardware connections a snap. You also get stereo line inputs and outputs to take advantage of the MV-1's rich stereo sounds.
