Roland MV-8800 learning process struggles.

I struggled through finally making sense of this machine. I actually had one back in the day but could never make a beat on it. I sold it and bought something different at the time. I always kind of regretted it. Recently I came upon another one in a thrift store and decided I was going to finally tackle learning it. I'll be doing a deep dive on it soon. For right now though I set up my camera and struggled through just for fun.
