SP-FORUMS

thanks for all the replies gentlemen... maybe i will have to suck it up and invest in a dedicated laptop to hold my samples. hardware samplers are more geared towards making beats anyway.... still love my 404 tho!
that "beatthang" would actually be pretty cool if it was a full blown sampler ...

hi all. i generally use a 404 to hold percussion samples to be triggered with a midi device. doing this sometimes makes me wish i had a much higher polyphony... ive been looking at the mpc 500, (32 voices) so i thought id ask you guys what you thought about the quality of it compared to the 404 ...

hey there arndt go ahead and let me know if youd like to sell your 555

thanks for the quick and in depth response.

sorry if its been asked already, but is it possible to copy samples on the 555 without resampling or using the backup save and load trick?? thank you sirs.

cool juxt id like to hear what you come up with.

im trying to make a beat in a timing that the sequencer cant do. do you guys recommend any tricks to use while resampling a beat and other patterns, to essentially not have to use the sequencer or recording to another machine?.... thanks.

i really wanted the 555 for loop capture just so that i could assign a redubbed pattern as a sample(since you cant trigger patterns with a midi controller) but saw that it was a little limited. i think that for my money my best bet is to get the 606 and use the 404 as a way to re-record patterns. i ...

also is it possible to trigger patterns(and individual samples) via midi controller??

no the 606 only accepts up to 512mb.

i saw some 606s on ebay for like $350 and im thinking of just breaking down and getting one instead of the 555. i love the 404 i have right now but it seems that the 606 is a little bit less geared towards live djing, and more on the production side, which i like. im looking to sample phrases of ...

cool i didnt know the loop capture was so useful! thanks for the quick replies!

have you guys heard of the mandala pad ??? from the creator of the d-beam? its what i use in my set up as a midi controller for my 404. its worth a look. great for drummers!

hey guys. i have a 404 and am considering saving for the 555. i love the 404 very much but loop capture would make things move so much easier... i read the manual and noticed the loop capture misses 0.03 sec of sample time??? this might be a stupid question but, is that amount of time truly ...
