pay close attention to its hollow sound.

i got a 505 a few weeks ago and to me it sounded "hollow" or kind of muffled too. was it just my impression or the sounds i used or is the 505 sound missing more highs than the 303s? i thought they both have the same engine/sound...?

I have a 404 hooked up along side the 505. When sampling Lofi the 505 is more crisp than the 404. Standard and long mode sound very similar to the 404. I will say that the sound is so close it's hard to tell them apart.

If anything I don't mind having a thinner sound as that allows for better layering. On the 404 if you don't eq samples the mix gets muddy really fast.

But yah..... IMHO the sound is so similar it's not worth nit picking about.

I'm just trying to decide on a workflow. I'm not sure if I only want to use internal memory and then back up to the card when it's full, or use the mem card for samples too.

Also haven't decided if I want to use Lofi only or use some of the other sampling modes too.

good point. never thought about that.
probably it was the sounds i used that made the beat sound muffled. or the vinyl sim. or both.
but yeah, the 505 is dope!
i only used the internal memory till now because i thought using samples from the card would slow it down.

i use the wave edit / amp boost to bring the volume of some things up. you gotta be careful cuz there's no undo and it doesn't warn you if yr gonna clip, but i find it helpful when looking for some punch on things.

another trick is you can edit the wave (ie: start & end points) without actually truncating it, if you wanna see how it will sound in yr mix. you can truncate it afterward to free up space.

enjoy the 5ive-Oh. ridiculously limited, but awesome.

I don't find the 505 to be too limiting. Actually, it has just the right amount of options to not get lost or feel overwhelmed. Combined with the sp404 I can do pretty much all I need. Just getting a grip with things and finding out how I'm gonna deal with memory management is what I'm focused on now. I was pleasantly surprised it only took about 30min to get it all figured out, without the manual none the less!

I will try a few more experiments combining different sample rates and I'll post up some more impressions. But so far I shoulda got the 505 years ago!

All samplers have their own sound. Really, if I want to beef up the sound, I'll stick it through a mixer and eq it and then amp that shit up. :lol:

Treat them like an instrument and it'll sound like one. :D

The 505 is a pretty decent sampler. The biggest features are Chop, but you can leave that alone once you familarize yourself with clipboard. Its a copy-n-paste function that can be used to copy a single sample to multiple pads. Then adjust the start and end points of each one and voila, chop. Resampling not used, you see? Another good feature is Pitch, which I'm sure you know by now is dope.

A good way to monitor your signals within the 505 while adding efx is to adjust the effect while its resampling, there, you'll see the meter .

the clipboard on the 505 is by far best conceived than on the 606: on the 505's one you can copy 16 (or more?) samples at once , on the 606 just one (god damit)!!!
another cool thing (always 505 vs 606 thing):
on the microscope edit (formal got an mc307, you know this thing formal) the 505 let you listen in real time what you're doin, you can play the pattern, not on the 606...

Copped one a week and a half ago and am still learning/teaching myself how to use it. I like what I've dug into so far!!
