Powered by Roland's renowned ZEN-Core sound engine, the MV-1 provides 3,000 world-class sounds and lets users add optional sound packs for infinite creative possibilities. With its 16 velocity-sensitive pads, built-in mic, multiple mic/line inputs, and real-time vocal processing, the MV-1 makes vocal recording and beat production intuitive. Thanks to its compact, lightweight design and battery power, music makers can capture inspiration whenever and wherever creativity strikes. The MV-1 seamlessly integrates with Roland's Zenbeats app, expanding its capabilities through access to plug-in effects, virtual instruments, and music distribution platforms.
Though small enough to fit in a backpack, the MV-1 delivers high-resolution sound quality worthy of any professional studio. Its ZEN-Core sound engine, derived from Roland's flagship keyboards and synthesizers, provides 3,000 musical sounds spanning a range of instruments and genres. Users can customize their sonic palette by purchasing optional ZEN-Core sound packs with new sounds. A premium mic preamp with +48V phantom power and an onboard condenser mic ensure high-quality vocal recording, while a variety of real-time effects—including pitch correction, harmonization, and doubling—provide dynamic vocal processing during live performance or music production.
With its 4x4 grid of velocity-sensitive pads, the MV-1 offers an intuitive interface for creating and manipulating beats. Users can access a range of drum kits and percussion sounds, sequence rhythms, and adjust pad sensitivity to suit their playing style. The MV-1 also functions as a comprehensive vocal workstation, with 16 track takes that allow for comping the perfect vocal performance. Pads can be used to trigger vocal samples and one-shots on the fly during a live set or production session. For more complex productions, the MV-1's MIDI capabilities and line-level connections provide seamless integration with external gear.
Its compact, lightweight design—two pounds and 13" x 8"—provides portability for capturing inspiration wherever creativity strikes. Users can start a project on the MV-1, then open it as a Zenbeats session to finish tracks on their computer or mobile device, enhancing productions with virtual instruments, plug-in effects, and music distribution. With the MV-1, Roland has placed professional-level music production in the hands of all creators, enabling them to make radio-ready tracks whenever and wherever inspiration strikes.
