SP-FORUMS

thanks again for all your comments

new track on myspace if anyone is interested called Bóthar Dúnta..made with sp555 (beats) and the electribe ea1 (everything else)
www.myspace.com/laserfacemusic

i also had this same problem when i first got my sp555

the problem turned out to be the compactflash card was not compatible
i bought another one and the problem was fixed

lol jesus christ

killed by your sp555

could you ask for a sweeter death?

i should have mentioned i also went through 2 cf cards before i got it all working
first one i ruined by not formatting it before i did ANYTHING
2nd one was not compatible
i started to think it was all shit until i got the 3rd card..then..bam...sweetness ahoy!

i was asking this same question about a year ago..

before you waste your money on a pre-amp..
just get a decent mixer
the type of mixer a young band would use.
not only is it a pre-amp but comes in very handy later on for gigs..recording..even running all your shit at home through it.

i got this ...

i had all the electribes but got rid of them all except for the EA1

i love the bastard more than my woman

it makes basslines/squelchy 303 sounds
my set-up live is Sp555 + electribe ea1 and i have ripped venues to shreds with them

the wave converter program is excellent. it could not be easier

But you need the wave converter program...AND a card reader.

i was not aware that you needed to buy a seperate card reader at first either..and spent many a night trying to load them on via usb

put the compactflashcard into the card ...

i use my sp55 with my mac...but never with usb

i had to buy a seperate compactflashcard reader device...
then i prepare samples on the mac...and just send them to the sp (card).
bam...done...ready for the gig

oh and i like hash too

grass is like crushed heineken bottles these days

i have some very rare sample cds called the zero g datafiles 1-3

would anyone be interested in an upload?

i have never even considered sharing them...(for example i will not even give them to my band mate lol)

but i was thinking of gathering a best of the bunch thing and uploading it

fuck thanks a million lads

i also noticed that there are sweet fuck all sp555 vids around.
when i was buying it i really wanted to see a vid of someone using it for loops but could never find one

@ hurlingdervish....i call them whatever...i don't think it matters...just as long as they are no more ...

lol @ 15secong samples

some of mine are 2 second samples....some go on for over a minute
and they play perfectly together...unlike a shitty mpc

cheers for the feedback lads

@hurlingdervish
i triggered all the loops manually by hand. i didn't even know i could do it automatically
by hand is better because you'll never play the same track in the same way more than once

imported all the samples from my mac g5 computer
i have never recorded ...

hello
did my first ever electronic gig recently after many years fucking around with laptop music etc
its up on youtube here: m
we are called Wires of Love.. i'm the ugly fat one

I used a roland sp555 for probably 75% of the gig...and also used bits and pieces from Microkorg, korg electribe ...
