SP-FORUMS

Yes, it's 32bit. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

Did anyone get an opportunity to test this - ie, whether the SP-606 is compatible with Windows 7?

I got rid of my SP-606 a couple of years ago, but I'm thinking of buying one again because I found it far better to work with than what I have now.

However, I have switched over to Windows 7 and need ...

Does anyone use their SP-606 as part of an electronic drum setup?

If so, what's the best way of mounting the unit as part of a kit?

I'd like to control Cubase Studio 4.1 from my SP-606.

I'm not really using the SP's sampling facilities since I started using Cubase recently - it's easier to edit loops with software and suchlike - but I may as well take advantage of its MIDI control surface capabilities.

How do I set up the ...

No, the discussion around that part of my query never really took off.

When I started to think about it, I realised that several pieces of my current gear could be used as audio interfaces and/or MIDI controllers. I bought an Edirol UA-25 and a PCR-300 specifically for those purposes, but I ...

I remember reading a review in Sound on Sound which suggested that the BPM sync function didn't work properly, but I've managed to adjust the tempo on drum loops many times. Never tried it with other instrumental parts though and you can't stretch things too much - it's only good for subtle ...

In its role as an audio interface, is the SP-606 restricted to 16-bit or does it have a higher spec than that?

I've looked for this in the manual, but can't find any reference to it.

I know that it only works with 16-bit samples, but I wondered if that limit also applied in its audio interface ...

Thanks 606man. Do you mean connect the SP to the UA via the MIDI I/O sockets on the two machines?

Is the SP's USB port useful for anything other than transferring samples between the SP and a computer?

I must admit that the 'SP-606 = audio interface + MIDI controller' equation hadn't even occurred to me. So it's a shame that I'd already gone out and bought myself Edirol's UA-25 interface and their PCR-300 controller if the SP-606 does all that and more in a single box of tricks! I wish I'd ...

I've been using the SP-606 for a couple of years as part of a hardware-based home studio set-up. I used a Yamaha Motif 6 synth workstation to control the SP-606.

However, I've recently bought myself a new computer and Cakewalk Sonar 6 with a view to moving to a software-based system so I'm ...
