Adjust the Part value to select a part—and its patch—for playing your
fresh-sliced samples. If you want:
• the samples to have their own new patch—select a part that’s
playing a patch labeled “Init Patch.” Init Patches are empty, blank
patches. Any Init Patch will do.
• to add the samples to an already-existing patch—select the part that
plays that patch.
Once you add samples to an Init Patch, we strongly recommend you
name the patch—we’ll show you how to do this in a bit—to make sure
you can tell it apart from still-empty patches. If you don’t, things can
get really confusing when you need to find an empty patch later on.
The Assign To parameter allows you to change the pads that’ll play the
samples. If you’re:
• making a new patch for the samples—there’s no reason to change
the pads that are already selected unless you’d rather play the
samples from some other pads.
• sending the samples into an already-existing patch—make sure
you’re putting the samples on pads that aren’t already in use.
The CHOP QUICK ASSIGN window shows you any pads that are already
being used—they’re pink instead of white.
Strike the first pad you want to use—the MV-8800 automatically
assigns the rest of your slices to the pads that follow it. The CHOP QUICK
ASSIGN window outlines the series of pads you’ve selected.
When you hit a pad now you won’t hear anything—the pads don’t play
your samples until you’ve finished assigning them in this window.
You can quickly jump the Assign To value to another pad bank by
pressing the PAD BANKS button, typing the desired bank’s number on the
MV-8800’s numeric keypad, and then pressing PAD BANKS again.
Click Execute.

Playing Your Patch
Press the INSTRUMENTS button to display the
INSTRUMENTS window.
Select the part that uses your patch.
Strike the pads that play your new samples.
Normally, you control the volume of a sample by how hard you hit
its pad. To automatically make your samples loud, light the FIXED
VELOCITY button above the pads. By default, this’ll make your sounds
play at full volume.
Setting Up the Behavior of a Sample
Repeat the following process for each sample in the patch that needs
setting-up.
Following the instructions in “Playing Your Patch” above, play a sample you
want to set up. Next, press the QUICK EDIT button to display the PARTIAL
EDIT window.
In this window, you set the behavior of the “partial” that plays the sample.
A partial is a group of up to four samples that are played together from
a pad or a range of pads.
