• Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” (Owner’s Manual p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (Owner’s Manual p. 3),
and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (Owner’s Manual p. 5). These sections provide important information
concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have
gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Quick Start and Owner’s Manual
should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient
reference.
• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically
be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see
in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.

Using an external display and mouse to
operate the MV-8000
If the MV8-VGA is installed in the MV-8000, you can connect an external display
(VGA) and the included mouse, and perform operations from the external display.
Even when you are using an external display to operate the MV-8000, you can also
view information on the MV-8000’s built-in LCD screen.
This screen lets you make settings for the external display and mouse if the MV8-VGA
(sold separately) is installed.

1. Color Theme
You can select the combination of colors used in the external display. Select your
favorite color scheme from the following choices.
2. Refresh Rate
Sets the rate at which the monitor re-draws it image.
Range: 60 , 67, 72, 75 (Hz)
3. H Position and V Position
Adjust the H Position (Horizontal Position) and the V Position (Vertical Position)
parameters if you’d like to shift the image on your VGA monitor.
4. Pointer Speed
Sets how fast the mouse’s cursor moves.

In order to operate the MV-
8000 using an external display,
the MV-8000’s system program
version must be 2.00 or higher.
If you select a value the
monitor doesn’t support,
image quality may be poor,
and damage to the monitor
may result.
Depending on the H Position
or V Position settings, the
image shown in the external
display may be distorted. If the
external display you're using
has settings for adjusting the
image position, make
adjustments first on the
external display.

Using an external display and mouse to operate the MV-8000
Here’s how to tell whether the current screen for operations is the external display or
the built-in LCD.
● When the external display shows the “MV-8000 logo”
In this state you use the MV-8000’s panel and its own built-in LCD to perform
operations. The external display and mouse cannot be used for operations.
● When the MV-8000’s LCD indicates “VGA MODE”
A 640 x 480 pixel color screen will appear on the external display, and you can operate
the MV-8000 from the external display (VGA mode). You can use the front panel to
perform the same operations as before, and also operate the MV-8000 using the
included mouse. The MV-8000’s LCD will indicate the status of the tracks and the
samples assigned to the velocity pads.
Here’s how to select either the external display or the built-in LCD as the screen in
which you will operate the MV-8000.

Using an external display and mouse to operate the MV-8000
You can use the included mouse to operate the on-screen knobs and buttons, or the
sequence data in the play list.
When you move the mouse, the mouse pointer (the arrow symbol) will move in the
screen. By placing the mouse pointer on a button or knob and pressing (clicking) the
mouse button you can perform various operations depending on the selected item.
The included mouse is a wheel mouse.
Basic mouse operations are:
• Use the mouse pointer to indicate a button or knob in the screen (“point”)
• Press the mouse button (“click”)
• Turn the mouse wheel
● Point
Move the tip of the mouse pointer to a button or knob shown in the
screen. This is called “pointing” at the button or knob.
● Click
Point to a button or knob in the screen; then press and
release the mouse button once.
In some cases you will be specifically told to “right-click,”
which means to click using the right mouse button.
● Double-click
Point to an on-screen button or knob, and rapidly press
the mouse button twice.
● Operating the wheel
Turn the wheel toward or away from yourself.
After clicking on a numerical parameter, you can turn the wheel to
raise or lower the value. The wheel can be used only for numerical
parameters; it cannot be used to operate buttons or knobs.
