    • Great machine for hip hop beats, synthwave, electronic instrumentals
Great multifaceted music production machine by Roland, with tons of high quality classic Roland synth sounds built in and all the classic drum machines trimmings you would want for electronic music, you can also record vocals, good vocal effects but the T Rec sequencing is what makes this thing great ... show more

    • Fabulous for making music…
The Roland Versalab is the most useful, and one of the easiest to use, music production equipment I have has used. I have had many “DAW in a box” type machines and this is the best for me because it has so many available sounds and the user can quickly make all kinds of music, not just beats. I sold my MPC Live to purchase this. The MPC was great, but the user has to use lots of steps to, for example, to get a good piano sound that could be used across octaves. I now spend more time making music versus manipulating samples with the Versalab (but you can use samples with it too!). I highly recommend the Versalab for anyone who wants to make a variety of types of music. ... show more

    • Dream Machine
I have had my Verselab for about three years now. I think of myself as something of a power user. That said, I still haven't utilized all of its functionality, because there is so much in the box. 3000 sounds come inside. While you can get more, I haven't been super tempted to because the sounds are so great. There's also a random tone generator. Contrary to what another review has said, there is extensive sound editing capability even inside the box as a stand-alone unit. The workflow is based on Clips and Sections. You do have to learn its jargon. A Clip is a track within a Section. A Section is a building block of the Song (like a chorus or verse). In Song mode, you put the Sections in the order you want them to play. Clips can be, but don't have to be the same across Sections, so you can change sounds as you go if you want to. Clips each have their own volume control, and you can set reverb and delay per clip without affecting anything universally (this is also separate from the effects you can add, which often have a send to reverb and delay as well). You can copy and paste in multiple ways as well. There is an extensive selection of effects you can use. Often, when you go into the multi effects place, you find that your sound is already using an effect, but you can still change the effect and try different things. You can easily edit notes and aspects of the drum sounds. You can ratchet. There are hundreds of arpeggios on board. There is also a chord mode. You can sample or import samples. You can do 16 tracks of vocals. You can connect outside instruments like a guitar to either sample or play over the entire song. I don't connect it with any other MIDI devices, but you can. I have used it as a sort of karaoke device, where I programmed the music, and then sang live over it using a microphone plugged into the unit. You can do that without recording the vocals if you like. It does have vocal effects, which brings to mind that you can also resample yourself, whether it's vocals or a musical part. This instrument isn't designed for live play. Live jammers do often have a very big problem with this. Roland does have other instruments for live performance. This is primarily a DAW in a box that is also much more immediate than a DAW. It is convoluted, but not as convoluted as a DAW. Many things just work really well. For instance, you can EQ anything, but I've never had a muddy mix on this. It's like the sounds have already been EQ'd. It has a small Mastering suite on board. Thus far for me, I just turn on the three things in the Mastering suite and the default settings do a good job of getting the sound right. (Of course it doesn't correct you if you've mixed poorly. Turn down those hats already!) There is really SO much to say about this box. The workflow is loop based. It's quite easy to record while the music is looping. Also, super easy to preview sounds during loop playback. You only get eight musically distinct bars to compose per Section, though you can have a Section play for up to 16 bars. There can be 16 Sections in a song. I think this unit is under-valued for what you get. However, I do see in the Facebook group that some people have had to get theirs serviced. Indeed, my own could use a light servicing as well. My parameter knobs sometimes jump around even after I stop turning. This issue seems to improve as I get deeper into a session, but it is a little annoying. I find it very fun and immediate to use. My hyperfocus always get engaged and I end up playing for hours. I always have something to show for that time as well. I always find I've made significant progress. I use to have a different Roland Workstation in the 90's, the Roland XP-80. This is head and shoulders above that in terms of what it can do and the speed at which it can be done. ... show more

    • It's easy enough to grasp, but overly limited
It's full of limitations and compromises including the following. - Audio over USB doesn't appear to work with Android. - Midi over USB didn't seem to play nice with free version of Zenbeats and full version isn't included. - Parameter value control is lacking in various regions and often limited to really sad value ranges. - Lacks ARP/Chord user presets. - Lacks user voice patch presets. - Lacks a included dedicated sound editor. - Lacks very heavily with sampling both in terms of sampling time, multi layer sampling, sample rate options, and sample loading operation being a nightmare in terms of browsing samples. - Lacks in multi timbrality and to make matters worse you can't clear the vocal track and reassign it to be used for tone voice track in place of it. - Multi effects parameter depth pretty mixed and lacking in places for example the compression ratio's aren't as broad as a MMP-2 that's like full decade older. Also limited to a single MFX though in some cases a few presets were passed off as combination effects of two that were run in series in same manner you can do on older Roland synths like Fantom X with 2 to 3 assignable MFX to do the same way or more extensively. - The screen is worse than a MC-307 like seriously come on now this might be the worst screen I've ever seen on a synth. It's definitely the worst screen I've had the displeasure of using on a synth however. - The workflow is full of area's where it could be much better and more intuitive and quicker with less menu diving and inexplicably isn't and we're stuck with situations like the sample loading being a absolute horrific tragedy and making you lose your train of thought entirely on top of being overtly tedious. - Master tuning less broad a range and flexible than earlier Roland hardware. The MV-1 suffers from a lot extreme corner cutting in various regions or locked away features from other software not included to do much of what one expect with the underlying hardware. It's impossible to recommend this hardware as such over the competition that has less of these ridiculous shortcomings and faults. They might not do as many things in entirety relative to Roland in regard to the MV-1, but I'd say do a more proper job and better one at what they do on the other hand. Roland themselves has done much better with other products. These are and feel compromised in many elements and locked down or limited in other area's where they shouldn't have been. I wouldn't recommend the MV-1 on value. There are area's it does fine and don't really need to cover the pads for example I'd say are hard to find fault with overall their pretty nice when you configure them. They could probably be a little more sensitive at triggering to be more subtle, but are good overall and can be pretty subtle it's just the lowest %5 to 2.5% velocity curve levels need more sensitivity and tapering control. Their adaptable enough, but could probably use a bit finer control on the lower end of the curve. The pads, vocal processing, and portability are probably it's most redeeming aspects overall. Though I still would be find it difficult to recommend in general. If those are all you're main concerns and priorities and can live with a lot of the criticisms highlight it might suit your needs fine. Personally the critical area's of it that I've found faults with it irritate me enough to point looking at it semi pisses me off and makes me want to box it up and put in the damn closet. It's frustrating given I want to like it, but I'm finding myself very reluctant to do so outside of the redeeming aspects mentioned. ... show more

    • Legitimate studio in one box
I'd watched a lot of videos before picking this up, but they didn't delve into just how deep you can get with this unit. You can make BANGERS, from beat to complete. Vocals sound good with a halfway decent mic, workflow is simple. Took me a couple days to get the hang of it. Definitely a great groovebox for someone that wants to make full tracks in one machine. No going to the studio or hooking up tons of gear and cables. No computers and DAWS. Highly recommended. ... show more
