Ready for action
Music production can be a daunting process to newcomers but with the MV-1 Verselab it is made easier than ever before. The all-in-one production studio arms you with all the tools you need thanks to its jam-packed feature set.
Whether you’re building ideas for a song or arranging your next full production, the Verselab has your back. At the heart of the Verselab are 16 RGB velocity-sensitive performance pads. These premium-grade pads react to your touch, allowing you to finger-drum and trigger samples to your heart’s content. You can even use the pads to create melodies similar to that of a MIDI keyboard.
Accompanying the pads is the TR-REC sequencer inherited from classic Roland drum machines. Using the sequencer, you can create percussive loops and rhythmic melodies on the fly, allowing you to punch in steps whilst you play.
Perfect for beatmakers and vocalists
The Verselab is jam-packed with tools and features geared towards producers and vocalists alike. The guided workflow will have you mastering the tools within minutes, and with a genre-defying sound selection, bridging the gap between beats and voice. The MV-1 features built-in vocal effects including Auto Tune, Harmonizer, and Doubler. With space for up to 16 takes, you can layer and arrange your vocals to your desire.
Legendary Roland sound
Roland has cemented their reputation as legends in the music world, being the proud parent of the iconic TR-808 drum machine as well as countless others. Thanks to the 3000 onboard presets, you can explore the sounds that defined eras, genres, and subcultures. From the TR-808 to the SP-404, you can incorporate every hard-hitting sound that Roland’s legacy has to offer.
Zen-Core engine and ZenBeats
The core of the Verselab is powered by the Zen-Core sound engine, which can also be found in high-end Roland synthesizers. It delivers high-end rich sound quality that captures every nuance of your audio in incredible detail. Using the Zen-Core engine, you can expand your sound library via Roland Cloud, so you can stay up-to-date with the latest sound packs and presets. Zenbeats is a music production app that lets you create music no matter what your level of experience. With polyphonic instruments, beatmaking tools featuring classic Roland TR drum machine sounds, and the SampleVerse sampling tool, you’ll find everything you need to inspire new ideas and develop your sounds.
One step ahead for ideas
One of the most useful features for newcomers is the onboard songwriting tools and generators, which help inspiration strike when you’re struggling for ideas. These templates and patterns are the perfect building blocks to keep your creativity going. The intuitive and hands-on control panel truly puts you in the driver’s seat, allowing you to make quick changes on the fly. From the studio to the stage, the Verselab will push you to your musical limits.
