Hi,
I found a used 808 with internal cf reader at a reasonable price and maybe I'll buy it. Coming from sp-606 ,I downloaded 808 manual and was a bit disappointed ,because there are not many effects.

I read about people "updating" to 808ex OS but can't find the manual.

Are there any differences ,especially in FX section?

Are you looking at the effects list on page 98 of the manual?

These 20 effects listed are just the main effect groups. If you look under the column 'Template effects patch' you'll see they're labelled from P80 to P99.
On the sp808 there are multiple preset versions of these 20 main effect groups from P01 to P99 as well as U (user) 01 - 99 which is, what, 198 different fx patches, which all can be edited/step-modulated/bpm matched/tweaked in the menu screens.

I don't know 606, but the 808 is a beast.

Thanks for the feedback, but I don't have the 808ex manual. Is it the same samplerwith the 808?

I have the 808 myself, not the ex.. and I'm not sure there is a separate manual for the ex (tho' I imagine there would/should be, it's funnily enough not listed on the Roland support site)

But the product page states the ex has "New vocal and guitar multi-effects, 10-band vocoder, Voice Transformer and Mic Simulator" ... whether this means they removed some of the patches from the original 808 to make space or not, maybe..

Anyways, yeh.. the way effects patches are stacked in various combinations with all parameters mix-and-match/editable in the back-end is just one reason I'll always be loyal to this machine. To compile a comprehensive effects list, outlining how and with which combinations of effects are stacked, with 198 entries in the list, is a pretty massive job tho.. sorry, I won't be taking on!

Is 17 the vinyl sim? I mean, of course it is, right? But why isn't it labelled as such?
Can anyone compare if it is closer to the 404 og, or the 404sx?

I just purchased an sp808sx, it's on the way...

Cheers

The vinyl sim dont work like they do on all the other sp's. kinda like the sx but not really. also nother thing about the effects is that they have a lot of hidden parameters you cant get to atfirst. you just have to do a bit of menu diving and you can customize them. you can even personalize the effects to do some crazy other stuff. also make sure to dig into the voice canceler in the 808. shits crazy helpful for removing not only vocals, but other stuff to, you can also hard pan the voice canceling to remove either the right or left audio channel and bring it all mono, good for filtering out some unwanted stuff.

You can use the center canceller on any sp , it doesnt always work good.
