when i connected my sp to my comp the files from sp keep showing up as spd files so it wont open them. any software or something to change or convert the file

why do u want to open them on the computer tho? those files are only meant for the 606 to read... thats why if u want to import a sample u cant just drag and drop into the folder and its on ur sp... u gotta file import within the sp to convert it to language the sp can understand.... thats if i understand ur question correctly tho

so how can i move my patterns onto to the comp so i can save them and listen to them on the computer

no you can't...sorry!the only way is to realtime record them as audio thru usb with a program like reaper,ableton live,cubase,sonar...

dam . ok thanks for the insight
