Hands-on Groovebox and Vocal Workstation
From writing songs on the road to making beats at home, the Roland MV-1 Verselab brings hands-on, analog-inspired workflow back to your modern productions. This hybrid groovebox and vocal workstation possesses all the tools you need to capture ideas and flesh out songs off-site or in the studio. Tap into the MV-1's 3,000 native sounds and bang out beats and bass lines using the responsive 4x4 touchpad and powerful 16-step TR REC sequencer. Or, connect to the Zenbeats app to access optional Sound Packs that are brimming with old-school inspiration. Once you've got your groove established, a studio-quality mic preamp with onboard vocal effects (tuning, doubling, and harmonizing) gives you 16 takes to craft the perfect vocal track. From here, you can either mix and master directly from the MV-1 Verselab and upload sessions to cloud storage, or augment tracks in the Zenlab app with top-notch plug-in effects, world-class ZEN-Core instruments, and heat-bringing mix and mastering effects.
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 Verselab 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 Verselab.
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 Verselab 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 Verselab 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 Verseland 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 Verselab 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.
iPad and Pencil not included
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.
Cloud session storage
Ever wanted to collaborate with a partner in another state? Or do you just want to work out of the studio for a while? The MV-1 Verselab's cloud storage makes both feats possible.
Zenbeats app integration
A Plug-and-Play USB connection connects the MV-1 to the Roland Zenbeats app. Here you're able to augment tracks with plug-in effects, add virtual instruments to create fuller-sounding productions, and mix tracks in a familiar DAW-like format. The Zenbeats app also gives you onboard mastering tools — 5-band EQ, compressor, limiter, and more — so you can ready tracks for listeners' ears before you export them to music platforms and social media. All told, if you're looking for a powerful production tool with a friendly hands-on interface, the Roland MV-1 Verselab comes highly recommended by beatmakers at Sweetwater.
